The Infant and Toddler Curiosity Questionnaire: Dutch Translation and Validation

Eline R de Boer, Elena C. Altmann, Marina Bazhydai, Gert Westermann et autres

Curiosity and its role in learning and early cognitive development has received increasing attention in infancy research. So far, insights have largely focused on controlled lab-based experimental studies while less is known about individual differences in infants’ curiosity in everyday life. Recently, …

From social input to social attention: Parental mood predictability is related to the development of gaze cueing

Marlene Meyer, Sabine Hunnius, Dimana V. Atanassova

Gaze following is a fundamental developmental milestone for social cognition. Adults’ attention is reliably cued by gaze shifts but less is known about how gaze cuing emerges in early childhood or what shapes its developmental trajectory. Reduced sensitivity to social input—such as …

Computational and neural signatures of volatility learning in infancy: Links with temperament and the early caregiving environment

Dimana V. Atanassova, Nemes Zsuzsanna, Marlene Meyer, Sabine Hunnius

Infants demonstrate a remarkable ability to learn from statistical patterns. Yet, in probabilistic environments, successful learning requires distinguishing random variability from true changes in the underlying contingency (i.e. volatility). However, the extent to which successful volatility learning in infancy is modulated by …

Statistics in Motion: Does the Infant Motor System Predict Actions Based on Their Transitional Probability?

Tommaso Ghilardi, Marlene Meyer, Claire Monroy, Sarah A. Gerson et autres

Motor theories of action prediction propose that our neural motor system combines prior knowledge about action outcomes with current sensory input to predict other people's behavior. This knowledge can be acquired through observational experience, more specifically statistical learning. Recently, it has been …

Guiding Curiosity: How Learning Progress Shapes Young Children's Exploration of New Toys

Eline R de Boer, Francesco Poli, Marlene Meyer, Sabine Hunnius

Previous research has shown that children are drawn to environments that offer learning progress. However, the computational implementation of learning progress varied across studies, potentially overshadowing that there might be two distinct processes at work. In this study, we examined two forms …

Action anticipation based on an agent's epistemic state in toddlers and adults

Anna Krämer, Yanjie Su, Charlotte Grosse Wiesmann, Trine Sonne et autres

Do toddlers and adults engage in spontaneous Theory of Mind? This multi-lab collaboration examined whether 18- to 27-month-olds’ and adults’ anticipatory looks distinguish between two basic forms of epistemic states: knowledge and ignorance. In adults (n = 703, 68% female), we found …

Face processing in infants at elevated likelihood for autism: A systematic review and meta-analysis

Kloe Fico, Manon A. Krol, Giorgia Bussu, Corentin J. Gosling et autres

Face processing has been reported to be atypical in Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC). The latency of the N170 event-related potential component in response to faces has been reported to be slower in children and adults with ASC compared to age-matched controls. To …

Infant Vocal Behavior During Contingent Vocal Imitation and Its Interruption as a Window Into the Emerging Sense of Agency

Laura Diprossimo, Marlene Meyer, Caroline Lüdemann, Sabine Hunnius et autres

Infants' emerging sense of agency is thought to be supported by caregivers' contingent responsiveness. However, it remains unclear which types of responses are most relevant to this process. Here, we examined the role of contingent vocal imitation, defined as the prompt repetition …
