Sleep and Selective Memory Consolidation in Infants
Post‐encoding sleep facilitates memory consolidation from early infancy. Learning from digital content might also benefit from post‐encoding sleep. However, infants find it more difficult to learn and remember screen content (transfer deficit) and may only recognize its relevance when scaffolded by caregivers. We investigated infants' memory performance as a function of presentation mode (live or video), post‐encoding sleep, and caregiver scaffol…
Year‐olds’ free play during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Free play is a natural activity in toddlerhood, depending on environmental conditions like available objects and the social environment. The COVID‐19 pandemic and its consequences for parents’ mental health held the potential to change toddlers’ play environment. This cross‐sectional study investigated 2‐year‐olds’ ( N = 97) free play with objects, and aspects of caregiver mental well‐being in three cohorts during the pandemic in Germany. Caregiv…
Infant Sleep as a Cornerstone for Cognitive Development
During infancy, humans typically spend most of their time asleep. It is intuitively plausible that this state is important for development and well-being. But there has been a surprising dearth of knowledge regarding the causal role of sleep for specific cognitive processes during this period. Recent experimental evidence has revealed a causal role of sleep for early memory processes. By supporting the consolidation and further processing of rece…
Investigating the effects of perceived student gender on primary school teachers' recognition of autism
Recent research indicates that autism is under‐recognized in girls and women. The current study investigated whether the gender‐based assumptions of teaching staff impact the identification of autism. A survey was completed by 249 primary school teaching staff. After reading a vignette describing the behavior of a hypothetical child whose gender was randomly assigned, participants answered questions regarding possible reasons for the behavior des…
Can you teach me not to be angry? Relations between temperament and the emotion regulation strategy distraction in 2-year-olds
Little is known about toddlers’ acquisition of specific emotion regulation (ER) strategies, and how early ER is shaped by temperament. This study investigated if 24-month-old German toddlers, predominantly from families with high levels of parental education (N = 96, n = 49 male), learned the ER strategy distraction through observational learning, and its interaction with temperament. Increased use of distraction correlated with reduced negative …
State-Dependent Memory in Infants
Why do infants remember some things and not others? Human infants frequently cycle through different states such as calm attentiveness, wakeful activity, and crying. Given that cognitive processes do not occur in isolation, such fluctuations in internal state might influence memory processing. In the present experiment, declarative memory in 9-month-old infants (N = 96) was heavily state dependent. Infants exhibited excellent retention of a defer…
Infant Imitation From Televised Peer and Adult Models
Developmental changes in learning from peers and adults during the second year of life were assessed using an imitation paradigm. Independent groups of 15- and 24-month-old infants watched a prerecorded video of an unfamiliar child or adult model demonstrating a series of actions with objects. When learning was assessed immediately, 15-month-old infants imitated the target actions from the adult, but not the peer whereas 24-month-old infants imit…
