Self-regulation facilitates healthy development and positive adaptation across the life course, and deficits are linked to negative health outcomes. Self-regulation development is thus an important target for universal prevention interventions in early childhood. A well-established research base addresses the significance of caregiver…

Borovsky, Arielle – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Toddlerhood is marked by advances in several lexico-semantic skills, including improvements in the size and structure of the lexicon and increased efficiency in lexical processing. This project seeks to delineate how early changes in vocabulary size and vocabulary structure support lexical processing (Experiment 1), and how these three skills…

A Mediation Analysis to Disentangle Relations between Maternal Education and Early Child Development
Telias, Amanda; Narea, Marigen; Abufhele, Alejandra – International Journal of Behavioral Development, 2022
Maternal education is associated with early child outcomes. However, the several mechanisms that may explain this relationship remain underexplored. Using data from 1,097 children aged 12-15 months in Chile, we estimate the maternal education gap across child cognitive and language outcomes. Following a bioecological perspective, we explore…

Davis, Belinda; Dunn, Rosemary – Cogent Education, 2022
There is strong evidence that access to high quality early childhood education and care (ECEC) has a range of benefits for children's long-term development and learning outcomes. Furthermore, ECEC has the most benefits for children who experience vulnerability, marginalisation and disadvantage (Heckman, 2008; OECD Starting Strong, 2017; National…

Elisa Garcia; Sarah Gerard – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2022
Background: Children's early experiences with their parents have a profound effect on their lifelong outcomes. Responsive caregiving includes parenting behaviors like serve and return interactions, rich and varied language inputs, and positive affect (Landry et al., 2001). There is evidence that interventions can help parents improve these skills…

Uccelli, Paola; Demir-Lira, Özlem Ece; Rowe, Meredith L.; Levine, Susan; Goldin-Meadow, Susan – Child Development, 2019
This study examines whether children's decontextualized talk--talk about nonpresent events, explanations, or pretend--at 30 months predicts seventh-grade academic language proficiency (age 12). Academic language (AL) refers to the language of school texts. AL proficiency has been identified as an important predictor of adolescent text…

Psouni, Elia; Falck, Andreas; Boström, Leni; Persson, Martin; Sidén, Lisa; Wallin, Maria – Child Development, 2019
Effects of "joint attention" were addressed on 3- to 4-year-olds' performance in a verbal false-Belief Test (FBT), featuring the experimenter as co-watcher rather than narrator. In two experiments, children (N = 183) watched a filmed-FBT jointly with a test leader, disjointed from a test leader, or alone. Children attending jointly with…

Ainsworth, Steph; Welbourne, Stephen; Woollams, Anna; Hesketh, Anne – Language Learning, 2019
Current theories of phonological development make contrasting predictions about the role of vocabulary growth and orthographic knowledge in the emergence of segmental phonological representations. Testing these predictions in children is made difficult by the metacognitive nature of tasks used to assess phonological representations. In this study,…
