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…

Early Social Cognition in Three Cultural Contexts
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Callaghan, Tara; Moll, Henrike; Rakoczy, Hannes; Warneken, Felix; Liszkowski, Ulf; Behne, Tanya; Tomasello, Michael – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2011
The influence of culture on cognitive development is well established for school age and older children. But almost nothing is known about how different parenting and socialization practices in different cultures affect infants' and young children's earliest emerging cognitive and social-cognitive skills. In the current monograph, we report a…

Flexibility in Early Verb Use: Evidence from a Multiple-N Diary Study
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Naigles, Letitia R.; Hoff, Erika; Vear, Donna – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2009
Flexibility and productivity are hallmarks of human language use. Competent speakers have the capacity to use the words they know to serve a variety of communicative functions, to refer to new and varied exemplars of the categories to which words refer, and in new and varied combinations with other words. When and how children achieve this…

Developing Object Concepts in Infancy: An Associative Learning Perspective
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Rakison, David H.; Lupyan, Gary – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2008
We present a domain-general framework called "constrained attentional associative learning" to provide a developmental account for how and when infants form concepts for animates and inanimates that encapsulate not only their surface appearance but also their movement characteristics. Six simulations with the same general-purpose architecture…

The Preservation of Two Infant Temperaments into Adolescence
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kagan, Jerome; Snidman, Nancy; Kahn, Vali; Towsley, Sara – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2007
This "Monograph" reports theoretically relevant behavioral, biological, and self-report assessments of a sample of 14-17-year-olds who had been classified into one of four temperamental groups at 4 months of age. The infant temperamental categories were based on observed behavior to a battery of unfamiliar stimuli. The infants classified as high…

Rhythms of Dialogue in Infancy: Coordinated Timing in Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Jaffe, Joseph; Beebe, Beatrice; Feldstein, Stanley; Crown, Cynthia L.; Jasnow, Michael D. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Studied partner and site novelty for mother-infant, stranger-infant, and mother-stranger face-to-face interactions. Found that adult-infant vocal timing measures at age 4 months did predict attachment and cognition at age 12 months. Comparison of mother-infant and stranger-infant interactions suggested the dynamics of infants' early…

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)

Face-to-Face Play: Its Temporal Structure as Predictor of Socioaffective Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stern, Daniel N. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Examines three issues from study by Jaffe et al.: predictive nature of face-to-face play, the psychological present moment for infants, and the representation of the pragmatics of dialogue. Emphasizes value of the study for future work in social interaction. (DLH)

Children with Disabilities: A Longitudinal Study of Child Development and Parent Well-Being.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hauser-Cram, Penny; Warfield, Marji Erickson; Shonkoff, Jack P.; Krauss, Marty Wyngaarden – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Examined longitudinally the cognitive and adaptive behavior development of children with disabilities and their families' adaptation over time. Found that children's type of disability predicted trajectories in development of cognition and social and daily living skills. Type of disability also predicted changes in maternal (but not paternal)…

Advancing Findings, Theories, and Methods Concerning Children with Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hodapp, Robert M. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Describes as advances of the Hauser-Cram et al. study increasing basic information about children with disabilities and their families, showing a combined organismic-contextual developmental perspective, and operationalizing tenets of developmental psychopathology. Considers as limitations: the role of etiology, the need to reconceptualize…

The Intentionality Model and Language Acquisition: Engagement, Effort, and the Essential Tension in Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloom, Lois; Tinker, Erin – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2001
Examined 2-year-olds' language acquisition with an emphasis on the agency and intentionality of the child. Concluded that development depends on the child's expression of intentionality by actions (performance), the essential tension between the child's engagement and effort, and the integration of linguistic, cognitive, and social aspects of the…

Breaking the Language Barrier: An Emergentist Coalition Model for the Origins of Word Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hollich, George J. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2000
Presents emergentist coalition theory of language development characterizing lexical acquisition as the emergent product of cognitive constraints, social-pragmatic factors, and global attentional mechanisms. Details 12 experiments with 12- to 25-month-olds using the development of reference as test case of the theory. Presents evidence that…

Pushing the Limits on Theories of Word Learning.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bloom, Lois – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 2000
Describes the richness of Hollich et al.'s model of language acquisition. Presents concerns about focus on object words in word learning research, the phantom child in the model, and the missing affect in theories and research on word learning. Suggests that experimental work inspired by principles and constraints theory and observational work…

Maltreatment, Negative Expressivity, and the Development of Type D Attachments from 12 to 24 Months of Age.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Barnett, Douglas; Ganiban, Jody; Cicchetti, Dante – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Investigated relationship between children's negative expressivity to the formation of an Insecure- Disorganized/Disoriented, Type D attachment pattern in follow-up of maltreated and nonmaltreated children at 12 and 24 months of age. Found that experiencing maltreatment in infancy was associated with Type D attachment through the toddler years,…

Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vondra, Joan I.; Hommerding, Katherine Dowdell; Shaw, Daniel S. – Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development, 1999
Investigated role of maternal characteristics and behavior, perceptions of social support, and infant characteristics to differentiate early patterns of infant security, organized insecurity and disorganization among socioeconomically disadvantaged families. Found a variety of correlations with different attachment patterns. Also found that change…
