Chaos Theory and Child Development
Traditional developmental science has often described child growth as a sequence of stages or linear progressions, yet many phenomena—abrupt spurts and regressions, idiosyncratic pathways, and widening individual differences—resist linear accounts. This article proposes chaos theory as a framework for quantifying developmental trajectories. Chaos theory, which addresses how complex patterns emerge from simple rules in deterministic yet unpredicta…
The effects of rewards on trial-and-error learning in school-aged children
Humans’ ability to rapidly identify appropriate actions in new situations is critical for functional behavior. This skill develops through trial-and-error where humans learn to choose the optimal actions through rewards from previous acts. Here, we used computerized games to test developmental changes in how rewards affect trial-and-error learning. School-aged children (5- to 15-year-olds) played online games while receiving either positive rewar…
Beyond reach and grasp
High-order action planning is the capacity to anticipate and organise two or more action steps before moving, requiring integration of cognitive, motor, and perceptual processes. High-order planning underpins goal-directed behaviour, enabling efficient problem-solving, skilled tool use, and adaptation to the environment. Developmental research shows that high-order planning skills emerge gradually in childhood, with adult-like responses appearing…
Toward a Causal Science of Early Play
Young children across the globe devote much of their early years to physically engaging with the world—stacking, climbing, scribbling, and tinkering with objects. Although this embodied play is widely believed to fuel key cognitive processes like attention, memory, and executive function, most supporting evidence remains descriptive or correlational. Here, we review findings from embodied cognition research and highlight why direct experimental m…

“Dancing” Together
Pre-mobile infants and caregivers spontaneously engage in a sequence of contingent facial expressions and vocalizations that researchers have referred to as a social “dance.” Does this dance continue when both partners are free to move across the floor? Locomotor synchrony was assessed in 13- to 19-month-old infant–mother dyads (N = 30) by tracking each partner’s step-to-step location during free play. Although infants moved more than mothers, dy…
