Methodological considerations for more robust and reliable developmental science: How historical conventions bias behavioral measurements
The mobile paradigm has been one of the most highly cited paradigms in developmental research (Rovee & Rovee, 1969; Rovee-Collier, 1997; Rovee-Collier et al., 1980). The impressive work of Carolyn Rovee-Collier, the founder of the paradigm, has altered the field's understanding of the early capacities of young infants, from reflex-based organisms to agents who actively construct their world (recently reviewed by Sen & Gredebäck, 2021). The paradi…
Methodological integrity assessment in the mobile paradigm literature: A lesson for understanding opportunistic use of researcher degrees of freedom in psychology
The mobile paradigm has played a fundamental role in memory development research. One key characteristic of the mobile paradigm literature is that across decades, researchers have faithfully followed a particular methodological protocol with its own unique definitions of learning and memory. To investigate the extent to which these methodological choices affected the results, the literature (77 publications and 505 statistical tests) was evaluate…
Urbanization and Child Development
In recent decades, the rate of urbanization has been rapid, transforming the world and the people that take part in this global trend. Urbanization has often been studied and discussed with a focus on adults, societies, and social dynamics, without an emphasis on the psychological processes of young members of society, the children that grow up in transition. This review aims to address the significant and complex relationship between urbanizatio…
Learning limb‐specific contingencies in early infancy
Most research with the mobile paradigm has the underlying assumption that young infants can selectively move the limb causing the contingent feedback from the mobile while avoiding irrelevant motor responses. Contrary to this long‐held belief, others have argued that such differentiation ability is not fully developed early in life. In the current study, we revisited the traditional mobile paradigm with a contemporary research approach (using hig…
Introduction: A Country of Her Making
This Introduction frames a collection of papers that explore the roles played by women—as volunteers, organisers, bureaucrats, politicians and citizens—in shaping the emerging ideologies and structures of independent India. Although women’s participation is both understudied and inadequately theorised in existing scholarship, the papers in this collection demonstrate that the decades following India’s Independence witnessed the participation of w…
Social Work, Refugees and National Belonging: Evaluating the ‘Lady Social Workers’ of West Bengal
In the aftermath of Partition, the Government of India suddenly found itself to be responsible for a large number of refugee women who were not ‘attached’ to male guardians. The national government readily acknowledged the fate of these widowed, abandoned or abducted women as a sphere of feminine expertise and sought the active participation of prominent social workers such as Rameshwari Nehru, Mridula Sarabhai, Ashoka Gupta and Romola Sinha. Ref…

Developing Terra Nullius: Colonialism, Nationalism, and Indigeneity in the Andaman Islands
This article explores the legal structures and discursive framings informing the governance of one particular 'backward' region of India, the Andaman Islands. I trace the shifting patterns of occupation and development of the islands in the colonial and postcolonial periods, with a focus on the changes wrought by independence in 1947 and the eventual history of planned development there. I demonstrate how intersecting discourses of indigenous sav…
The Myths Refugees Live By: Memory and history in the making of Bengali refugee identity
Within the popular memory of the partition of India, the division of Bengal continues to evoke themes of political rupture, social tragedy, and nostalgia. The refugees or, more broadly speaking, Hindu migrants from East Bengal, are often the central agents of such narratives. This paper explores how the scholarship on East Bengali refugees portrays them either as hapless and passive victims of the regime of rehabilitation, which was designed to i…
