Verhoef, Rogier E. J.; Hofstee, Marissa; Endendijk, Joyce J.; Huijding, Jorg; Dekovic, Maja – Developmental Psychology, 2023
During infancy and toddlerhood, parents show large individual differences in the extent to which they are able to tailor their parenting behaviors to their children's swiftly changing developmental needs. The first aim of our study was, therefore, to distinguish parenting profiles at three time points during infancy and toddlerhood (i.e., 5, 10,…

Nikolic, Milica; Zeegers, Moniek; Colonnesi, Cristina; Majdandžic, Mirjana; de Vente, Wieke; Bögels, Susan M. – Developmental Psychology, 2022
The ability to regulate one's emotions and behaviors is essential for adaptive functioning in society. We investigated whether parental mind-mindedness--parents' tendency to treat their children as mental agents--in infancy and toddlerhood predicts school-age children's self-regulation. The sample consisted of 125 mostly Dutch and White families.…

Tsuji, Sho; Fikkert, Paula; Yamane, Naoto; Mazuka, Reiko – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Although toddlers in their 2nd year of life generally have phonologically detailed representations of words, a consistent lack of sensitivity to certain kinds of phonological changes has been reported. The origin of these insensitivities is poorly understood, and uncovering their cause is crucial for obtaining a complete picture of early…

de Jong, Marjanneke; Verhoeven, Marjolein; Hooge, Ignace T. C.; Maingay-Visser, Arnoldina P. G. F.; Spanjerberg, Louise; van Baar, Anneloes L. – Developmental Psychology, 2018
Why do many preterm children show delays in development? An integrated model of biological risk, children's capacities, and maternal stimulation was investigated in relation to cognitive functioning at toddler age. Participants were 200 Dutch children (gestational age = 32-41 weeks); 51% boys, 96% Dutch nationality, 71.5% highly educated mothers.…

Mani, Nivedita; Johnson, Elizabeth; McQueen, James M.; Huettig, Falk – Developmental Psychology, 2013
What is the relative salience of different aspects of word meaning in the developing lexicon? The current study examines the time-course of retrieval of semantic and color knowledge associated with words during toddler word recognition: At what point do toddlers orient toward an image of a yellow cup upon hearing color-matching words such as…

Oudgenoeg-Paz, Ora; Leseman, Paul P. M.; Volman, M. J. M. – Developmental Psychology, 2015
The embodied-cognition approach views cognition and language as grounded in daily sensorimotor child-environment interactions. Therefore, the attainment of motor milestones is expected to play a role in cognitive-linguistic development. Early attainment of unsupported sitting and independent walking indeed predict better spatial cognition and…
