Existing clinical outcome assessments (COAs) have limitations in capturing treatment effects in autism for those who choose to enrol in clinical research. Some COAs include items that are not relevant or equally important to all autistic people; others are not sufficiently comprehensive. Goal Attainment Scaling (GAS), which measures individual…

The frequency of home spatial activities (e.g., puzzles and blocks) correlates with young children's spatial skills, but causal evidence is limited. We addressed this issue by comparing the effects of a parent-led intervention aimed at increasing spatial activities to an active control targeting narrative activities (preregistered:…

Angelina Joy; Channing J. Mathews; Adam Hartstone-Rose; Kelly Lynn Mulvey – School Science and Mathematics, 2025
When asked to draw a scientist, children typically draw a gender stereotypical male representation; however, research has not yet assessed these representations in terms of scientist stereotypical skin tone. The current study examined children's (N = 69, 66.7% female, M[subscript age] = 7.60, SD = 2.13) scientist perceptions by analyzing both the…

Guided by the Differential Susceptibility to Media Effects model, we examined the relations between parents' anxiety over their children's futures and their attitudes toward playful media for children and media featuring principles of direct instruction, as moderated by parent race (N = 600, quota sampled for race, children ages 3-7). Research has…

Can you learn better by doing something yourself (DIY) or by watching somebody else do it? We present a new approach to examine this perennial question in research on learning and instruction. In a science learning task, children aged 5 to 7 years (N = 95) either generated predictions themselves (active condition) or observed the predictions of a…

Background: Research suggests that Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) may be associated with narrative language (or storytelling) difficulties, and executive functioning is hypothesized to underlie this association. However, the contribution of executive function to the narrative language production of children with ADHD is unclear…

Peretz-Lange, Rebecca; Muentener, Paul – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2020

Children use essential categories to make inductive inferences about individuals. How do children determine what…

Engagement for children with mitochondrial disorder is not self evident. To develop personalised and value-based care for this population, we require knowledge about their perspectives and values with regards to everyday activities. To gain insight into children's perspective on activities by (1) asking what activities they perform, (2) how they…
