Laura Franchin; Anna Teresa Porrini; Luca Surian – Language Learning and Development, 2024
Young children's (n = 108) and adults' (n = 40) ability to compute ad-hoc quantity conversational implicatures was assessed using a new implicit task that relied on eye-tracking. The children were 2 and 5 years old. Looking times reveal that all participants interpreted simple references by relying on implicatures. However, 2-year-olds failed to…

Zitter, Ashley; Rinn, Hezekiah; Szapuova, Zofia; Avila-Pons, Vanessa M.; Coulter, Kirsty L.; Stahmer, Aubyn C.; Robins, Diana L.; Vivanti, Giacomo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
There is increasing evidence supporting the effectiveness of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) for children on the autism spectrum. However, substantial variability in response to the ESDM has been reported across participants. We examined the plausible yet untested hypothesis that variations in the fidelity level of therapists delivering the…

Mumford, Katherine H.; Aussems, Suzanne; Kita, Sotaro – Developmental Science, 2023
Previous research has shown a strong positive association between right-handed gesturing and vocabulary development. However, the causal nature of this relationship remains unclear. In the current study, we tested whether gesturing with the right hand enhances linguistic processing in the left hemisphere, which is contralateral to the right hand.…

Vallotton, Claire D.; Gardner-Neblett, Nicole; Kim, Loria; Harewood, Tamesha; Duke, Nell K. – Reading Teacher, 2023
Experiences with books before age three predict children's motivation to read (Bus et al., 1995), and can support the development of vocabulary, communication, and symbolic skills (Scarborough, 2001). Sharing books with infants and toddlers is different than reading aloud to older children. For example, it is important to attend more closely to…

Margoni, Francesco; Block, Katharina; Hamlin, Kiley; Zmyj, Norbert; Schmader, Toni – Developmental Psychology, 2023
Can well-documented gender differences in evaluations of prosocial versus antisocial actions found in childhood and adulthood be traced to sex differences in basic sociomoral preferences in infancy? We provide an answer to this question by meta-analyzing sex differences in preference for prosocial over antisocial agents in a set of 53 samples of…

Catharina P. J. van Trijp; Ratib Lekhal; May Britt Drugli; Veslemøy Rydland; Elisabet Solheim Buøen – Early Child Development and Care, 2023
Using a multilevel random-coefficient approach, we examined the longitudinal association between toddlers' early shyness and their well-being during their first year in Norwegian early childhood education and care (ECEC) centres. We used data from two measurement points (preintervention and postintervention) from a larger cluster randomized…

Kliesch, Christian; Parise, Eugenio; Reid, Vincent; Hoehl, Stefanie – Developmental Science, 2022
Learning about actions requires children to identify the boundaries of an action and its units. Whereas some action units are easily identified, parents can support children's action learning by adjusting the presentation and using social signals. However, currently, little is understood regarding how children use these signals to learn actions.…

Willockx, Dietlinde; Dom, Leen – International Journal of Early Childhood, 2022
This article is based on a 2-year (2017-2019) project that aimed to find out in what ways and with what materials childcare settings can bring "raising for a sustainable society" into a lived practice and what kind of support they need to accomplish that. The project mainly consisted of an action research in two day-care centres for…

Schoppmann, Johanna; Schneider, Silvia; Seehagen, Sabine – Child Development, 2022
Little is known about toddlers' acquisition of specific emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and how early ER is shaped by temperament. This study investigated if 24-month-old German toddlers, predominantly from families with high levels of parental education (N = 96, n = 49 male), learned the ER strategy distraction through observational learning,…

MacDonald, Amy; McGrath, Samantha – International Journal of Early Years Education, 2022
Early childhood educators play a central role in fostering children's mathematics learning; however, few studies have focused on educators' beliefs about very young children's capabilities in mathematics. Understanding these beliefs is critical for gaining insight into the mathematics education provided in birth to three settings. In light of this…
