Mariel Symeonidou; Ai Mizokawa; Shinsuke Kabaya; Martin J. Doherty; Josephine Ross – Developmental Science, 2024
Cultural comparisons suggest that an understanding of other minds may develop sooner in independent versus interdependent settings, and vice versa for inhibitory control.

Ishino, Mika – Classroom Discourse, 2022
During teacher-centred classroom interaction, teachers often fail to solicit volunteer turn-takers. Even if students display their unwillingness to take a turn at the moment, teachers sometimes have no choice but to allocate them the turn, to move forward with the ongoing pedagogical activity. In such a moment, there can be a conflict between the…
