For instance, in a recent study of activity monitoring in ASD, toddlers were shown a set of stimuli that differed across three dimensions of interest: gaze direction of the actors, presence of background distractors, and dynamic nature of the stimuli [27, 28]. Consistent with prior work, fi...
Toddlers with ASD have been found to monitor the activity of others less than their TD peers when observing a child and adult play interaction in short dynamic scenes [24]. Reduced attention to activity can lead to decreased opportunities for observational learning, which can impact social and ...
Don't try this at home": Toddlers' imitation of new skills from people on video Imitation of people on educational television is a potential way for very young children to learn new skills. Although toddlers in previous studies exhibit... GA Strouse,GL Troseth - 《J Exp Child Psychol》 ...
Previous attempts to determine the impact of activity structure on the frequency of social interaction among preschoolers have been inconclusive. Yet the teacher's structuring of play activities is a relatively low-cost manipulation that, if effective in increasing peer interactions, might be extremely ...
3b) in this activity, the robot prompts the child to speak (for instance: “What do you want to tell me? I’m listening!”), and then simply wait for the child to stop the interaction by pressing the tablet. The robot does not attempt to process the child’s speech or to respond;...

Private Speech in the Classroom: The Effects of Activity Type, Presence of Others, Classroom Context, and Mixed-age Grouping This study addressed the question of how young children's spontaneous use of private speech in the kindergarten classroom varies as a function of contextua... A Winsler,...
B) Intervention, such as training programs for promoting maternal empathy and learning stress reduction skills (called “Mom Power”), was shown to increase activity in typical child-focused, social brain areas like the precuneus, subgenual anterior cingulate cortex, and amygdala-temporal pole ...
Although there has been some support of beneficial associations between physical activity and cognitive measures (and, to some extent, adverse associations with high sedentary time), a lack of sufficient studies limits the conclusions that could be drawn for children under 6 years of age in the ...
Tracking this conflict could demand more engagement of right IPL and TPJ, leading to greater brain activity in the unwatched conditions. The present data cannot distinguish between these possibilities, but it would be important to do so in future studies. This study also examined brain activity ...
