We tested 143 six- to nine-year-old children (75 girls) in a laboratory and in public spaces (parks and museums) in the Boston area. Children were divided into two age groups: 6- and 7-year-olds (N = 71, mean = 82.56 months ± sd = 7.31, range = 72–95 months, 38 femal...
An 80 year old grandmother and her 8 year old grandson will react very differently to the same stimulus, e.g. a loud truck passing the street outside the house. The child will be engaged by the sound, turn his body toward the sound source, perhaps even drop his toys and rush to the...
In Experiment 1, 19 of 24 younger children (5–7-year-olds) and 15 of 24 older children (8–10-year-olds) chose to pass through the barrier using the aisle that was not associated with the pre-presentation of the AR character (Fig.4). These results appear to be consistent with those...
Top-down control processes are essential for guiding attention and working memory towards task-relevant information. Recently, theta oscillations were suggested as critical for these cognitive processes. Infant studies testing a mixture of bottom-up and
Children’s delay-of-gratification behaviors have been examined in the well-known “marshmallow test,” in which 3- to 5-year-olds are given a marshmallow and told by an experimenter that they can eat it immediately or wait for an unspecified duration of time (which can be capped at 15 ...
One reason for this is that the tasks presented to children were not clearly competitive in nature. In the study by Putallaz and Sheppard2, for example, children could also manipulate the toys in a cooperative manner (e.g. playing the computer game together). A second class of studies ...
During free-flowing toy play, children not only look at toys but also actively generate actions on those toys (i.e., reaching for them, holding them, moving them from one location to another, or stacking them). A growing body of research using head-mounted cameras and head-mounted eye tr...

Both experiments were conducted for each child, with an interval of 14 to 15 weeks. The experiments were separated by the control test, which was undertaken after the first testing experiment with an interval of 7 to 8 weeks. One of the prepared two sets of toys was used for the first ...
