Visual search in typically developing toddlers and toddlers with Fragile X or Williams syndrome
In: Developmental science, Band 7, Heft 1, S. 116-130
ISSN: 1467-7687
Abstract Visual selective attention is the ability to attend to relevant visual information and ignore irrelevant stimuli. Little is known about its typical and atypical development in early childhood. Experiment 1 investigates typically developing toddlers' visual search for multiple targets on a touch‐screen. Time to hit a target, distance between successively touched items, accuracy and error types revealed changes in 2‐ and 3‐year‐olds' vulnerability to manipulations of the search display. Experiment 2 examined search performance by toddlers with Fragile X syndrome (FXS) or Williams syndrome (WS). Both of these groups produced equivalent mean time and distance per touch as typically developing toddlers matched by chronological or mental age; but both produced a larger number of errors. Toddlers with WS confused distractors with targets more than the other groups; while toddlers with FXS perseverated on previously found targets. These findings provide information on how visual search typically develops in toddlers, and reveal distinct search deficits for atypically developing toddlers.
Focus on toddlers: how-tos and what-to-dos when caring for toddlers and twos
In: Focus on Providing Child Care
A beginner's primer to providing child care for toddlers and two-year-olds! Complete with tips for creating a developmentally appropriate environment and experiences that stimulate muscles and minds, Focus on Toddlers gives caregivers the tools to craft a quality learning environment that's as unique as the needs of the children in their care. In simple language, it explains how to structure a program where toddlers and two-year-olds can learn, play, and thrive. The book covers the role of the caregiver, setting up the physical environment, creating a daily schedule, daily planning, and understanding children's growth and development.
Paternal participation in toddlers' pretend play
In: Social development, Band 4, Heft 1, S. 17-31
ISSN: 1467-9507
Abstract32 toddlers were videotaped in a laboratory setting while playing alone and with their fathers to understand how fathers contribute to children's early pretend play, to explore the extent to which their social play involves pretend, to describe father‐child pretend play, and to examine fathers' beliefs about children's play. Children exhibited more exploratory play alone and engaged in more symbolic level play with their fathers. Sex differences were found in fathers' play behaviors and in the thematic content of play episodes. Fathers used explicit guidance with sons and implicit guidance with daughters. Father–son pairs engaged in vehicle/tool play and father–daughter pairs played domestic themes. The results suggest that the early differential socialization of boys and girls is apparent in father–toddler pretend play.
Spontaneous non‐verbal counting in toddlers
In: Developmental science, Band 19, Heft 2, S. 329-337
ISSN: 1467-7687
AbstractA wealth of studies have investigated numerical abilities in infants and in children aged 3 or above, but research on pre‐counting toddlers is sparse. Here we devised a novel version of an imitation task that was previously used to assess spontaneous focusing on numerosity (i.e. the predisposition to grasp numerical properties of the environment) to assess whether pre‐counters would spontaneously deploy sequential (item‐by‐item) enumeration and whether this ability would rely on the object tracking system (OTS) or on the approximate number system (ANS). Two‐and‐a‐half‐year‐olds watched the experimenter performing one‐by‐one insertion of 'food tokens' into an opaque animal puppet and then were asked to imitate the puppet‐feeding behavior. The number of tokens varied between 1 and 6 and each numerosity was presented many times to obtain a distribution of responses during imitation. Many children demonstrated attention to the numerosity of the food tokens despite the lack of any explicit cueing to the number dimension. Most notably, the response distributions centered on the target numerosities and showed the classic variability signature that is attributed to the ANS. These results are consistent with previous studies on sequential enumeration in non‐human primates and suggest that pre‐counting children are capable of sequentially updating the numerosity of non‐visible sets through additive operations and hold it in memory for reproducing the observed behavior.

Adaptation to novel accents by toddlers
In: Developmental science, Band 14, Heft 2, S. 372-384
ISSN: 1467-7687
AbstractWord recognition is a balancing act: listeners must be sensitive to phonetic detail to avoid confusing similar words, yet, at the same time, be flexible enough to adapt to phonetically variable pronunciations, such as those produced by speakers of different dialects or by non‐native speakers. Recent work has demonstrated that young toddlers are sensitive to phonetic detail during word recognition; pronunciations that deviate from the typical phonological form lead to a disruption of processing. However, it is not known whether young word learners show the flexibility that is characteristic of adult word recognition. The present study explores whether toddlers can adapt to artificial accents in which there is a vowel category shift with respect to the native language. Nineteen‐month‐olds heard mispronunciations of familiar words (e.g. vowels were shifted from [a] to [æ]: 'dog' pronounced as 'dag'). In test, toddlers were tolerant of mispronunciations if they had recently been exposed to the same vowel shift, but not if they had been exposed to standard pronunciations or other vowel shifts. The effects extended beyond particular items heard in exposure to words sharing the same vowels. These results indicate that, like adults, toddlers show flexibility in their interpretation of phonological detail. Moreover, they suggest that effects of top‐down knowledge on the reinterpretation of phonological detail generalize across the phono‐lexical system.
Toddlers Assert and Acknowledge Ownership Rights
In: Social development, Band 24, Heft 2, S. 341-356
ISSN: 1467-9507
AbstractTwo studies compared toddler owners and non‐owners of toys. Children of 24 and 30 months were supplied with toys and told that they were owners. In play with friends, owners were more likely than non‐owners to maintain possession, claim toys verbally ('mine'), and non‐verbally, by attempting to regain their own toys in their friends' possession. Children communicated their ownership early in each episode and in preference to other information about the toys. Toddlers in both studies identified toys belonging to their friends and acknowledged their friends' ownership with possessive statements ('yours'), and in Study 2, recognized the relationship between owners and their property by offering toys that their friends owned. In these ways, toddlers' actions were consistent with accepted ownership rights.
