Developmental theories
This article examines the state of the art in developmental theorizing today and identifies shifts in direction needed for further progress. Developmental psychology’s robust empirical base calls for new directions in theorizing. The historical context of theorizing shows how developmental theoretical issues arose from a series of developmental theories and the challenges to these theories. Several trends in developmental theorizing in recent yea…
Theory of mind and executive function in Chinese preschool children
Cross-cultural research on children's theory of mind (ToM) understanding has raised questions about its developmental sequence and relationship with executive function (EF). The current study examined how ToM develops (using the tasks from Wellman & Liu, 2004) in relation to 2 EF skills (conflict inhibition, working memory) in 997 Chinese preschoolers (ages 3, 4, 5) in Chengdu, China. Compared with prior research with other Chinese and non-Chines…
Young children's transfer of strategies
Feminist theory and contemporary developmental psychology
Burman’s landmark book, Deconstructing Developmental Psychology, criticized the field from three perspectives: decontextualized measurements and depictions of children’s behavior; androcentric biases; and covert political frameworks. In this article, Burman’s analysis is applied to the current state of cognitive developmental research in general, and then specifically with a focus on a hot topic, children’s executive function (cognitive self-cont…
A show of hands
This study brought together 2 literatures-gesturing and executive function-in order to examine the possible role of gesture in children's executive function. Children (N = 41) aged 21⁄2-6 years performed a sorting-shift executive function task (Dimensional Change Card Sort). Responses of interest included correct sorting, response latency, spontaneous gestures, and verbal and gestural explanations for sorts. An examination of performance over tri…
Exercise improves executive function and achievement and alters brain activation in overweight children
OBJECTIVE: This experiment tested the hypothesis that exercise would improve executive function. DESIGN: Sedentary, overweight 7- to 11-year-old children (N = 171, 56% girls, 61% Black, M ± SD age = 9.3 ± 1.0 years, body mass index [BMI] = 26 ± 4.6 kg/m2, BMI z-score = 2.1 ± 0.4) were randomized to 13 ± 1.6 weeks of an exercise program (20 or 40 min/day), or a control condition. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Blinded, standardized psychological evaluatio…
Relations between executive function and academic achievement from ages 5 to 17 in a large, representative national sample
A Developmental Perspective on Executive Function
This review article examines theoretical and methodological issues in the construction of a developmental perspective on executive function (EF) in childhood and adolescence. Unlike most reviews of EF, which focus on preschoolers, this review focuses on studies that include large age ranges. It outlines the development of the foundational components of EF—inhibition, working memory, and shifting. Cognitive and neurophysiological assessments show …

New Themes in Strategy Development
The role of strategy effortfulness in strategy effectiveness
The role of effort in strategy effectiveness (i.e., benefit for recall) was examined by determining whether reducing the capacity demands of a strategy would increase recall in young children who are spontaneously highly strategic. Kindergartners and first graders (N=116) chose, by opening doors, certain objects to view from a larger pool of objects during a study period in a selective recall task. The most mature involved viewing only the object…

Facilitation of conservation of number in young children
Preschool and kindergarten children received seven tests of conservation of number which varied in the type and number of perceptual supports for conservation. Most of the tests with these supports facilitated performance in comparison to the standard conservation test. Coaservation appeared earlier than usual. There were significant effects of supports which emphasized correspondence and deemphasized length cues, unclear effects of the number of…
