Ying Zhang; Oi-Lam Ng; Suzannie Leung – Journal for STEM Education Research, 2023
Computational thinking (CT) has been regarded as an essential skill set that students should acquire from their early years of life. As a thinking practice applicable to problem-solving processes, it has been argued that CT can be demonstrated and incorporated into other disciplines. While most studies have focused on CT integration with science,…

Fast, Anne A.; Morelli, Sylvia A.; Zaki, Jamil; Olson, Kristina R. – Infant and Child Development, 2022
From an early age, children act generously towards one another, but the situational features that promote generous decision-making remain under investigation. The current study tests the impact of being identifiable--as a recipient of generosity, a giver, or both--on children's generosity. Six-year-old children (N = 129) allocated resources to a…

Ryder, Nuala; Kvavilashvili, Lia; Ford, Ruth – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Prospective memory (PM) involves remembering to carry out intended actions in the future (e.g., posting a letter on the way to school or passing on a message) and is important for children's independent functioning in daily life. This study examined, for the first time, the effects of incidental reminder cues on children's PM. Five- and 7-year-old…

Øksendal, Elise; Brandlistuen, Ragnhild Eek; Holte, Arne; Wang, Mari Vaage – British Journal of Educational Psychology, 2022
Background: Children with poor motor skills are at increased risk of peer victimization. However, it is unclear whether poor gross and fine motor skills are differently linked to peer victimization among pre-school and schoolchildren. Aims: To investigate associations between poor gross and fine motor skills measured in pre-school and the…

Vaish, Amrisha; Savell, Shannon – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Gratitude is a positive social emotion that one experiences when one has benefited from another person's goodwill (McCullough, 2002). Feeling gratitude urges the grateful person to reciprocate and respond prosocially, thereby solidifying cooperation. Yet little prior research has focused on the social functions of displaying gratitude, namely to…

Ostertag, Curtis; Reynolds, Jess E.; Dewey, Deborah; Landman, Bennett; Huo, Yuankai; Lebel, Catherine – Developmental Science, 2022
Reading disorders are common in children and can impact academic success, mental health, and career prospects. Reading is supported by network of interconnected left hemisphere brain regions, including temporo-parietal, occipito-temporal, and inferior-frontal circuits. Poor readers often show hypoactivation and reduced gray matter volumes in this…

Kingston, Mary; Twohill, Aisling – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2022
This paper reports on a study that investigated young children's responses to a range of probabilistic tasks. A central aspect of the study was our examination of the children's use of subjective thinking. Most research that has been conducted in relation to young children's probabilistic thinking has focused on the extent to which young children…

Rah, Yu Jin; Kim, Jiyun; Lee, Sang Ah – Child Development, 2022
Children's spatial mapping starts out particularly sensitive to 3D wall-like boundaries and develops over early childhood to flexibly include other boundary types. This study investigated whether spatial boundaries influence children's episodic memory, as in adults, and whether this effect is modulated by boundary type. Eighty-one Korean children…

Hackett, Abigail – Literacy, 2022
This paper draws on 3 years of ethnographic research with young children and their families in a northern English town, employing a more-than-human lens to pay attention to what, beyond humans, might be involved in the emergence of children's literacies. The paper focuses on the role of the body and place in the emergence of young children's…

The cardinal features of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are recognized to include impairments in communication, social interactions, and restricted, repetitive behaviors and stereotyped interests. However, many children with ASD also have motor activity limitations that are often overlooked. The purpose of this review is to summarize the…

Su, Yinshan; Chen, Yuejia; Huang, Jin – Australasian Journal of Early Childhood, 2022
The body is the very basis of children's self-growth and their understanding of the world. However, children's body experiences of growing up have rarely been studied. This paper uses a hermeneutic phenomenological approach to study the body experience of 35 kindergarten children aged 5-6 from Nanjing, China. We found that children's body…

Zinsser, Katherine M.; Silver, H. Callie; Shenberger, Elyse R.; Jackson, Velisha – Review of Educational Research, 2022
Young children (birth to age 5) are more likely to be expelled or suspended than school-aged children, but we know comparatively little about the precursors to and prevention of exclusion in early childhood settings. Furthermore, what research has been conducted has not been systematically synthesized to inform policy and funding decisions. The…
