You Are Always on My Mind: Neural Synchrony Between Mothers and Their 2‐Year‐Olds During Collaborative Play

Rebecca Terry, Victoria St Clair, Paola Pinti, Denis Mareschal

Working with others is an essential skill for everyday life. Interpersonal neural synchrony (INS) has been suggested as a potential neurobiological correlate of collaboration between parents and school-aged children. This study investigated whether interpersonal neural synchrony (measured using Wavelet Transform Coherence) is …

Maternal scaffolding modulates 4- to 6-year-olds’ brain activity in real time during collaboration

Victoria St. Clair, Paola Pinti, Natalie Urbanska, Denis Mareschal

For fifty years, developmental scientists have theorised that children’s cognitive development is supported by the help, or scaffolding, they receive when faced with a difficult task. The rationale is that that by reducing the cognitive load on the child, scaffolding allows children …

Neural bases of sustained attention during naturalistic parent-infant interactions

Giulia Serino, Aleksandra Anna Wiktoria Dopierała, C.‐K. James Shen, Denis Mareschal et autres

Sustained attention-the ability to maintain focus on a particular location or object for an extended period of time-is a fundamental skill during development. It enables the developing child to acquire information about their environment, facilitating information processing and supporting memory. Despite its …

How Socioeconomic Status and the Home Environment Influence Early Cognitive Development in British Pre-Schoolers

Helen Yūki Grimshaw, Denis Mareschal, Natasha Z. Kirkham

Executive functions (EF) are a set of crucial cognitive skills, with low socioeconomic status (SES) being associated with worse EF ability in toddlers. This leads to gaps in school achievement, which continue to widen with time. This study aimed to explore the …

Computational Modelling of Infant Gaze Following in Cluttered Environments and Reduced Caregiver Gaze Reliability*

Virag Lakner, Ori Ossmy, Denis Mareschal

Humans’ ability to share attention with others plays an important role in social competence, language acquisition, and action understanding. Gaze following, an indicator of shared attention, occurs when an individual shifts their gaze from looking at another individual to the object that …

SEE+ computerized classroom-based training enhances 7- to 10-year-olds' socio-emotional cognition through observation and inference

Sveta Mayer, Iroise Dumontheil, Hannah Wilkinson, Kaśka Porayska‐Pomsta et autres

Smooth social interactions rely on children's abilities to decode others' social signals, which includes what an individual may say or do, and their facial emotional expressions. Failure can lead to exclusion from social groups. Consequently, a number of social and emotional learning …

Bimanual or unimanual stacking strategies under different cognitive loads: Evidence of a cognitive/action trade‐off in the coordination strategy of 3‐ to 5‐year‐olds

Lisanne Schröer, Johanna‐Katharina Maninger, Richard Cooper, Denis Mareschal

Previous studies have found that increased cognitive load during a task might result in the use of 'easier' motor strategies that nevertheless achieve task goals. Here, we investigated the influence of cognitive load on bimanual or unimanual strategy use in preschoolers, through …

Enhancing Mathematical Learning: Designing a school-based LEGO intervention

Marija Živković, Tim Jay, Katie Anne Gilligan-Lee, Camilla K. Gilmore et autres

Spatial ability encompasses the skills necessary to comprehend object properties, their interrelations, and their mental manipulation. Meta-analyses show that spatial training interventions enhance both spatial and mathematical skills. The SPAtial Cognition to Enhance Mathematical Learning (SPACE) programme, adapted from BLOCs, is a …
