This monograph studies research conducted for the purpose of investigating the growth of recognition vocabulary during the early and middle elementary school years in relation to the development of morphological knowledge.
This monographs brings together theory and research about atypical attachments in infants and young children at developmental risk, illustrating some of the key issues in cases that do not fit traditional attachment patterns. Conceptual issues for future research are also discussed.
This monograph concerns the psychological processes underlying the development of executive function, or the conscious control of thought and action. It has long been clear that these processes change considerably in early childhood, transforming a relatively stimulus--driven toddler into a child capable of flexible, goal--directed problem solving.
The Intentionality Model builds on the childa s engagement in a world of persons and objects, the effort that learning language requires, and the essential tension between engagement and effort that propels language acquisition.
The medium of television, although a daily part of most modern lives, remains mysterious in the manner it may influence its audience. At the center of this mysery lies the debate of content vs. medium without regard to its content.
This work presents a theory of cognitive development, arguing that the mind develops across three fronts: a general processing system that defines the general potentials of mind to develop cognitive strategies and skills; a hypercognitive system that governs self-understanding; and self-regulation.
A new model of child cognition and learning The Role of Central Conceptual Structures in the Development of Children's Thought explores child cognition and conceptual development to present the novel "Central Conceptual Structure" theory. The culmination of a six-year instructional research program, this study examines the idea of "core knowledge" that can be applied to any task, and shows how transforming this core knowledge affects future learning. This book explores this theory in depth, providing extensive support and analysis that will interest anyone involved in child development, cognitive science, or educational psychology.
The attachment bond that develops between infant and mother is the first of many intimate relationships we form throughout life, and as such it has been the focus of much research. But how does the quality of the secure base phenomena that defines this bond vary among individuals and across cultures? What methods can be used to asses its presence and characteristics? Following an interview with Mary S. Ainsworth, the originator of the concept of secure base, this new Monograph brings together eleven papers that consolidate our understanding of the empirical advances that have occurred in attachment research. The collection is organized into three sections. Part One includes papers on the generalizability of attachment theory and data, including cross-cultural research. Part Two addresses both normative and individual differences among mothers, children, caregivers, and their interactions--and methods for the valid assessment of these. Part Three examines the mental representations that children use to depict their different attachment relationships. Together these papers will stimulate child development specialists and students to explore different assessment methods and to move beyond current understandings of attachment.
Formulates a theoretical system that integrates information processing, individual differences, and developmental approaches to the study of the mind. This book explores relations among information processing efficiency, working memory, and thinking of children 8 to 16 years of age.
A monograph that looks at how mothers and young children talk about gender, to discover the potential role of language in fostering gender stereotypes.
This monograph presents a longitudinal investigation of child development and family well-being during the first decade of life for children with Down syndrome, motor impairment, or developmental delay of uncertain etiology. The findings suggest that changes in selected policies and practices can improve outcomes for children with disabilities.
