Kamber, Ege; Mazachowsky, Tessa R.; Mahy, Caitlin E. V. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
The development of children's future-oriented cognition has become a popular research topic in the past two decades. Much of this research focuses on the preschool and middle childhood years, but very little is known about the future-oriented cognitive abilities of toddlers and young preschoolers. The present study investigated the emergence of…

Bambha, Valerie P.; Beckner, Aaron G.; Shetty, Nikita; Voss, Annika T.; Xie, Jinlin; Yiu, Eunice; LoBue, Vanessa; Oakes, Lisa M.; Casasola, Marianella – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2022
Spatial play in early childhood is associated with a variety of spatial and cognitive skills. However, these associations are often derived from studies in which different tasks are used across different age ranges, leaving open the question of how children's natural behaviors during spatial play develop from infancy into the early preschool…

Nakamichi, Naoko – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2015
Recent studies indicate the need to investigate the sources of toddlers' understanding of another person's pretense. The present study is a cultural and longitudinal extension of the work of Lillard and Witherington (2004), who claimed that mothers modify their behaviors during pretense and that the some of these behavior modifications help their…

Carrico, Renee L. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
The current study examined the role of increased attentional load in 24 month-old children's multistep problem-solving behavior. Children solved an object-based nonspatial working-memory search task, to which a motor component of varying difficulty was added. Significant disruptions in search performance were observed with the introduction of the…

Riggins, Tracy; Cheatham, Carol L.; Stark, Emily; Bauer, Patricia J. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2013
During the first decade of life, there are marked improvements in mnemonic abilities. An important question from both a theoretical and applied perspective is the extent of continuity in the nature of memory during this period. The present longitudinal investigation examined declarative memory during the transition from toddlerhood to school age…

Marcovitch, Stuart; Zelazo, Philip David – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2006
Age-appropriate modifications of the A-not-B task were used to examine 2-year-olds' search behavior. Several theories predict that A-not-B errors will increase as a function of number of A trials. However, the hierarchical competing systems model (Marcovitch & Zelazo, 1999) predicts that although the ratio of perseverative to nonperseverative…

Henderson, Annette M. E.; Graham, Susan A. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2005
Two-year-olds' appreciation of the shared nature of object labels versus object preferences was examined in 2 studies. A total of 128 24- to 27-month-olds played a finding game with an experimenter during which they were taught a piece of information about a target object in a nonostensive learning context. In Experiment 1, children were presented…
