The purpose of this study was to explore elementary-aged students' feelings, emotions and experiences with movement integration (MI) in the classroom. Focus group interviews (n = 6) with 3rd-grade students (N = 34; n = 19 female) and 140 draw-and-write prompts (n = 49 before MI, n = 48 during MI, and n = 43 after MI) were collected. Inductive…

The opportunity for language-building interactions, and specifically conversational turn-taking with a caregiver, is a critical foundation for enhancing a child's language development. In this secondary analysis of conversational turns, 89 parent-child dyads who previously completed 1 year of either weekly Music Together (music) or play date…

Previous research showed that short-term second language training modulates children's brain responses to language processing. However, little is known about whether short-term training from language-immersion apps would have the same effect on young children's neural processing of a newly learnt language. We examined the auditory event-related…
