Dennis, Tracy A.; Buss, Kristin A.; Hastings, Paul D.; Bell, Martha Ann; Diaz, Anjolii; Adam, Emma K.; Miskovic, Vladimir; Schmidt, Louis A.; Feldman, Ruth; Katz, Lynn Fainsilber; Rigterink, Tami; Strang, Nicole M.; Hanson, Jamie L.; Pollak, Seth D.; Dahl, Ronald E.; Silk, Jennifer S.; Siegle, Greg J.; Beauchaine, Theodore P.; Cicchetti, Dante; Rogosch, Fred A.; Fox, Nathan A.; Kirwan, Michael; Reeb-Sutherland, Bethany; Gunnar, Megan R.; Obradovic, Jelena; Boyce, W. Thomas; Molenaar, Peter C. M.; Gates, Kathleen M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2012
In the past decade, there has been a dramatic growth in research examining the development of emotion from a physiological perspective. However, this widespread use of physiological measures to study emotional development coexists with relatively few guiding principles, thus reducing opportunities to move the field forward in innovative ways. The…

Rutter, Michael; Sonuga-Barke, Edmund J.; Beckett, Celia; Castle, Jennifer; Kreppner, Jana; Kumsta, Robert; Schlotz, Wolff; Stevens, Suzanne; Bell, Christopher A.; Gunnar, Megan R. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2010
This monograph is concerned with the mid adolescent follow-up of a group of adoptees from Romania and from within the United Kingdom who were first assessed at the age of 4 years (or 6 years in the case of the oldest children). Chapter I provides the background as it applied at the time that the study began, and then goes on to outline the overall…

The Developmental Course of Gender Differentiation: Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Evaluating Constructs and Pathways.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Liben, Lynn S.; Bigler, Rebecca S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Four studies established the reliability and validity of measures for assessing attitudes toward others and sex typing of self in occupations, activities, and traits. A fifth study provided longitudinal data from children tested 4 times from age 11 to 13 years. Data supported conceptual distinctions among individual's gender attitudes toward…

Conceptualizing, Measuring, and Evaluating the Developmental Course of Gender Differentiation: Compliments, Queries, and Quandaries.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Ruble, Diane N.; Martin, Carol Lynn – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Identifies contributions of Liben and Bigler's studies to gender development related to measuring self and other sex typing, developing a theoretical account of the self-other relation, and incorporating individual differences. Raises questions about measures used and interpretations of the findings. Suggests issues for future research:…

Measures and Models of Gender Differentiation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Powlishta, Kimberly K. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Discusses two major contributions of Liben and Bigler's work: (1) introduction of new measures of sex typing; and (2) the proposal that there are two plausible ways in which gender attitudes and sex typing of self might be related. Considers the importance of context on gender salience for information processing. Asserts that Liben and Bigler's…

Extending the Study of Gender Differentiation.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Liben, Lynn S.; Bigler, Rebecca S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Responds to concerns that individual items included as stereotypes in the Occupation Activity Trait Scales (children's and adult's versions) are not highly stereotyped. Discusses future directions for research, noting that a developmental approach is critical to understanding gender differentiation establishment and that it is also important to…

The Development of Mental Processing: Efficiency, Working Memory, and Thinking.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demetriou, Andreas; Christou, Constantinos; Spanoudis, George; Platsidou, Maria – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Examined, over 1 year, relations between information processing efficiency, working memory, and problem solving in sample of 8-, 10-, 12-, and 14-year-olds. Identified three-stratus hierarchy with individual dimensions organized in three constructs: processing efficiency, working memory, and problem solving. Found that individual dimensions were…

A New Kind of Developmental Science: Using Models To Integrate Theory and Research.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fischer, Kurt W.; Dawson, Theo L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2002
Maintains that Demetriou and his colleagues' project shows how developmental scientists can assess concepts from multiple frameworks and relate them through explicit modeling and targeted research to build explanations powerfully grounded in data and theory. Presents doubts related to specific conclusions because of issues related to the design of…

Dialogical Nature of Cognition.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rochat, Philippe – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Suggests that children construe the world as they develop relationships with other individuals. Offers considerations regarding developmental changes marking the first year of life and argues that cognition is framed in public social exchanges and private dialogical thinking. (DLH)

Social Cognition in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moore, Chris – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1998
Maintains that Carpenter, Nagell, and Tomasello's (1998) data reveal little definitive information on cognitive processes involved in infants' social interactive behaviors. Evaluates support for Carpenter et al.'s claims for infant social cognition and discusses the nature of infant cognition. Maintains that what is needed is experimental evidence…

Information Processing through the First Year of Life: A Longitudinal Study Using the Visual Expectation Paradigm.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Canfield, Richard L.; Smith, Elliott G.; Brezsnyak, Michael P.; Snow, Kyle L. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Used Visual Expectation Paradigm to describe information processing changes and individual differences during first year of life. Found regular age changes in mean reaction time and variability but not in minimum reaction time, suggesting that growth rate of sensory-detection information is constant during first year but age changes occur in level…

Models of Oculomotor Variability in Infancy.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Aslin, Richard N. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Examines the meaning of reaction time (RT) and the possibility that it may predict other cognitive and motor skills in the first year of life. Considers two competing models that specify the information-processing components underlying RT performance. Describes the neural data needed to definitively choose between the models and considers…

Infant Visual Expectations: Advances and Issues.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Haith, Marshall M.; Wass, Tara S.; Adler, Scott A. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Speculates on underlying processes for the reaction time variance and age differences in anticipation latency using the Visual Expectation Paradigm. Discusses the dichotomization of reactive and anticipatory behavior, limitations of longitudinal designs, drawbacks in using standard procedures and materials, and inferences that can be made…

Prefrontal Cortex Cognitive Deficits in Children Treated Early and Continuously for PKU.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Diamond, Adele; Prevor, Meredith B.; Druin, Donald P.; Callender, Glenda – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1997
Hypothesized that elevated ratio of phenylalanine to tyrosine in blood of children with phenylketonuria uniquely affects cognitive functions dependent on prefrontal cortex because of the special sensitivity of prefrontally projecting dopamine neurons to small decreases in tyrosine. Found that children whose phenylalanine levels were three to five…

Reflective and Impulsive Children: Strategies of Information Processing Underlying Differences in Problem Solving
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Zelniker, Tamar; Jeffrey, Wendell E. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1976
Investigated the hypothesis that impulsive children differ from reflective children in their preferred strategy of information processing, based on extent of stimulus analysis. The experiments employed third, fourth and sixth graders and a variety of tasks including matching, grouping, recall, and concept attainment. (MS)
