Miranda Gómez Díaz; Laia Fibla; Rachel Ka-Ying Tsui; Krista Byers-Heinlein – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Sometime before their second birthday, many children have a period of rapid expressive vocabulary growth called the vocabulary spurt. Theories of the underlying mechanisms differ: Accumulator models emphasize the accumulation of experience with words over time to yield a spurtlike pattern, while cognitive models attribute the spurt to cognitive…

Sara Cibralic; Jane Kohlhoff; Nancy Wallace; Catherine McMahon; Valsamma Eapen – Journal of Early Intervention, 2024
Language ability has been associated with emotion regulation (ER) ability. Children on the autism spectrum have greater rates of language delays and lower ER ability. Despite this, autism traits have not been considered or controlled for in past research. This study therefore examined the association between language ability and ER in young…

Taverna, Andrea S.; Padilla, Migdalia I.; Baiocchi, María C.; Peralta, Olga A. – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2021
Although there is wide evidence on young children's category learning, questions concerning how cognitive mechanisms and social mediation work collaboratively in this process remain sparse. Here, we study the impact of pedagogy in young children's categorization of novel artifacts. A before-and-after micro-genetic study compared 58 3-year-old…

Goddu, Mariel K.; Sullivan, J. Nicholas; Walker, Caren M. – Child Development, 2021
The ability to consider multiple possibilities forms the basis for a wide variety of human-unique cognitive capacities. When does this skill develop? Previous studies have narrowly focused on children's ability to prepare for incompatible future outcomes. Here, we investigate this capacity in a causal learning context. Adults (N = 109) and 18- to…

Ogren, Marissa; Sandhofer, Catherine M. – Infant and Child Development, 2021
Word learning is a crucial aspect of early social and cognitive development, and previous research indicates that children's word learning is influenced by the context in which the word is spoken. However, the role of emotions as contextual cues to word learning remains less clear. This study investigated word learning among 2.5-year-old children…

Sandvik, Ninni – Contemporary Issues in Early Childhood, 2020
This article takes a discrepancy between experienced pedagogical and childish life orientations as a point of entry and speculates about loosening play from its organised position as form and instead looking at play as processes. Accordingly, the speculative focus of the article is on how different orientations might come into existence within an…

Camilla Björklund; Hanna Palmér – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2025
The aim of this study is to deepen the understanding of how preschool teachers can use representations of different kinds to bring fore the mathematical content that may be afforded in pictures and narrative designed for numerical learning purposes. Seventy-three video documentations of reading sessions with 27 toddlers (1-3 years of age) over the…

Xinwu Zhang; Xiyuan Jia; Zhaofeng Pang; Jingruo Guo; Tianli Feng; Andrew Rule; Scott Rozelle; Yue Ma – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2025
Purpose: This mixed-methods study examined how differences in parental time, knowledge, and economic constraints, as well as community socioeconomic contexts, may contribute to differences in home language environment and child language ability outcomes between peri-urban and rural households in China. Method: We conducted an explanatory…

Masek, Lillian R.; Weiss, Staci Meredith; McMillan, Brianna T. M.; Paterson, Sarah J.; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Developmental Science, 2023
High-quality communicative interactions between caregivers and children provide a foundation for children's social and cognitive skills. Although most studies examining these types of interactions focus on child language outcomes, this paper takes another tack. It examines whether communicative, dyadic interactions might also relate to child…

Artis, Jonet; Arunachalam, Sudha – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The goal of this work was to examine the semantic and syntactic properties of the vocabularies of autistic and non-autistic infants and toddlers to see if children in these two groups know different kinds of words. We focused on both receptive and expressive vocabularies. For expressive vocabulary, we looked only at the "active"…

LaTourrette, Alexander; Waxman, Sandra; Wakschlag, Lauren S.; Norton, Elizabeth S.; Weisleder, Adriana – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study examines online speech processing in typically developing and late-talking 2-year-old children, comparing both groups' word recognition, word prediction, and word learning. Method: English-acquiring U.S. children, from the "When to Worry" study of language and social--emotional development, were identified as typical…

Ferraz Almeida Neves, Vanessa; Katz, Laurie; de Brito Teixeira Silva, Elenice; de Paiva Macário, Alice – International Journal of Research & Method in Education, 2023
Our purpose in this article is to examine the subjective processes of researchers while becoming conscious during the investigation of infants and toddlers (I/Ts) in educational settings. Based on the intertwining between Cultural-historical Psychology and Ethnography in Education, we followed a group of I/Ts at a Brazilian Early Childhood…

Png, JieYi; Kadar, Masne; Wan Yunus, Farahiyah; Yang, Wai Wai; Ahmad Rusli, Yazmin; Abdul Khaiyom, Jamilah Hanum – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2023
Sensory processing is an essential development in toddlers. A common sensory measurement tool used by Malaysian occupational therapists is Toddler Sensory Profile 2 (TSP 2). However, the Malay version has yet to be translated and validated for TSP 2 among toddlers in Malaysia. The translation and validation are a necessary process due to…

Nancekivell, Shaylene E.; Davidson, Natalie S.; Noles, Nicholaus S.; Gelman, Susan A. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Defining developmental progressions can be an important step in identifying developmental precursors and mechanisms of change, within and across areas of reasoning. In one exploratory study, we examine whether the development of children's thinking about ownership follows a systematic progression wherein some components emerge reliably before…

Thorson, Jill C.; Franklin, Lauren R.; Morgan, James L. – Language Learning and Development, 2023
This study examined how toddler looking to a discourse referent is mediated by the information status of the referent and the pitch contour of the referring expression. Eighteen-month-olds saw a short discourse of three sets of images with the proportion of looking time to a target analyzed during the final image. At test, the information status…
