The cultural context of infant development: Variability, specificity, and universality
Publication date: Available online 27 May 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and BehaviorAuthor(s): Yana A. Kuchirko, Catherine S. Tamis-LeMondaAbstractResearchers in developmental science often examine parenting and child development by ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic groups, frequently highlighting group differences in parent and infant behaviors. A sole focus on differences, however, obscures notable variability that exists within each community. Moreover, categories such as ethnicity and race are often assumed to encompass shared cultural backgrounds, which risks conflating race, ethnicity, and culture in psyc...

Intersecting experiences, motivating beliefs: The joint roles of class and race/ethnicity in the development of youths' sociopolitical perceptions and participation
Publication date: Available online 27 May 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and BehaviorAuthor(s): Amanda L. Roy, Marbella Uriostegui, Melissa UribeAbstractPositioning our analyses within two theoretical frameworks, system justification (SJ) theory and critical consciousness (CC), we examine relationships between social class and endorsement of SJ and CC beliefs and behaviors within a sample of low-income, Latinx and Black youth living in Chicago. We operationalize social class using five indicators: income-to-needs ratio (INR), subjective social status (SSS), financial strain, violence exposure, and neighborhood i...

Adolescent profiles of ethnicity/race and socioeconomic status: Implications for sleep and the role of discrimination and ethnic/racial identity
Publication date: Available online 24 May 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and BehaviorAuthor(s): Yuen Mi Cheon, Pak See Ip, Tiffany YipAbstractThe present study seeks to explore the intersectionality of ethnicity/race and socioeconomic status (SES) among ethnic/racial minority adolescents in their developmental contexts, examining its implications for sleep disparities and the roles of discrimination and ethnic/racial identity (ERI; i.e., adolescents' understanding and feelings about who they are in relation to their ethnic/racial group). With 350 adolescents (Asian 41.4%, Black, 21.7%, and Latinx 36.9%, female&n...

Implications of intersecting socioeconomic and racial-ethnic identities for academic achievement and well-being
Publication date: Available online 16 May 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and BehaviorAuthor(s): Mesmin Destin, Michelle Rheinschmidt-Same, Jennifer A. RichesonAbstractThe evolving study of identity development has become increasingly attentive to the ways that young people think about their socioeconomic and racial-ethnic identities. The status-based identity framework provides one way to analyze the implications of these dynamic identities, particularly as people approach young adulthood. For students from low socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds, the experience of socioeconomic mobility can accompany an aver...

Chapter One - The Science of Early Moral Development: on Defining, Constructing, and Studying Morality from Birth
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Audun DahlAbstractThe first 4 years of moral development are perhaps the most transformative. Helpless neonates become infants who routinely help and harm others; infants develop into preschoolers who make moral judgments based on moral concerns with welfare. Over the past two decades, there has been tremendous empirical progress, but also theoretical stalemates, in research on early moral development. To advance the field, this chapter argues for providing definitions of key terms, adopting an interactionist and constructivist ap...

Chapter Two - Mechanisms of Cross-situational Learning: Behavioral and Computational Evidence
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Yayun Zhang, Chi-hsin Chen, Chen YuAbstractWord learning happens in everyday contexts with many words and many potential referents for those words in view at the same time. It is challenging for young learners to find the correct referent upon hearing an unknown word at the moment. This problem of referential uncertainty has been deemed as the crux of early word learning (Quine, 1960). Recent empirical and computational studies have found support for a statistical solution to the problem termed cross-situational learning. Cross-si...

Chapter Three - When Representation Becomes Reality: Interactive Digital Media and Symbolic Development
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Georgene L. Troseth, Israel Flores, Zachary D. StuckelmanAbstractOne challenge of using an interesting object such as a scale model as a symbol for something else is children's deep interest in the object itself. Attending to the model (the symbol) as a toy, children do not use information about where in the model a tiny dog is hiding to mentally represent where a larger dog is hiding in the full-sized room (the referent). Young children use pictures in this way because they are relatively uninteresting as objects. Today, interact...

Chapter Four - Speaking Your Mind: Language and Narrative in Young Children's Theory of Mind Development
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Virginia Tompkins, M. Jeffrey Farrar, Derek E. MontgomeryAbstractResearch consistently finds that language and theory of mind are interrelated. The content and qualities of language that specifically predict theory of mind remain under investigation and the question of why language might impact theory of mind development is open. In this chapter we analyze and highlight current findings and theory addressing theory of mind and language. The principal focus is upon typically developing children between ages 2 and 5, a period charac...

Chapter Five - Cultural Snapshots: A Method to Capture Social Contexts in Development of Prejudice and Stereotyping
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Kristin Pauker, Elizabeth L. Brey, Sarah A. Lamer, Max WeisbuchAbstractThe scientific identification of how social environments transmit intergroup biases is a transparently complex endeavor. Existing research has examined the emergence of intergroup biases such as racial prejudice and stereotypes in many ways, including correlations between racial diversity and children's prejudice, content analyses of features in the media, or experiments testing the influence of selected variables with unknown prevalence in children's environme...

Chapter Six - Cultural Influences on the Development of Children's Memory and Cognition
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Hongyuan Qi, Kim P. RobertsAbstractMemory is socially constructed. The types of information that children pay attention to and remember, as well as how children organize and recall their memories can differ as a function of sociocultural background. This chapter presents an overview of cultural variations on children's memory and cognition. We draw attention to the necessity of conducting controlled experiments to examine cultural differences in the specific processes involved in episodic memory (e.g., encoding, retention, discrim...

Chapter Seven - Understanding Strategy Change: Contextual, Individual, and Metacognitive Factors
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Martha W. Alibali, Sarah A. Brown, David MenendezAbstractLearning, development, and response to instruction often involve changes in the strategies that learners use to solve problems. In this chapter, our focus is on mathematical problem solving in both children and adults. We offer a selective review of research on three classes of factors that may influence processes of strategy change in mathematical problem solving: contextual factors, individual factors, and metacognitive factors. Contextual factors involve information that ...

Chapter Eight - Cognitive Functioning in Children with Down Syndrome: Current Knowledge and Future Directions
Publication date: 2019Source: Advances in Child Development and Behavior, Volume 56Author(s): Angela F. Lukowski, Helen M. Milojevich, Lauren EalesAbstractInfants and children with Down syndrome (DS) can look forward toward bright futures, as individuals with DS are living healthier, more productive lives than ever due to medical advances, opportunities for early and continued intervention, and inclusive education. Despite these advances, infants and children with DS experience challenges in specific domains of cognitive functioning relative to their typically developing (TD) peers. Over the long term, individuals with DS ...
