Language acquisition in a multilingual society
In this study, infant vocabulary development was tracked in a multilingual society (Singapore) within a socioeconomically diverse sample. The sample comprised 1316 infants from 17.4 to 27.7 months (669 females, 647 males; 88% Chinese race, 4% Malay, 4% Indian, and 0.004% mixed-race [4% declined to provide race information]). Children varied in English language exposure and socioeconomic status. Analyses focused on identifying demographic predicto…
Becoming more or less mature? The decline of self‐control in middle childhood
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the developmental change in self-control and its association with daily stressful events during middle childhood, as well as the factors that contribute to individual differences in the trajectory of self-control. METHOD: A community sample of 302 Singaporean children (42% female, 69% Chinese) and their parents were recruited when the children were age 7. Follow-up assessments were made when the children were ages 8…
Developmental Trajectories of Maladaptive Perfectionism in Middle Childhood
The developmental trajectories of maladaptive perfectionism, along with their consequences and origins, were examined in middle childhood. A sample of Singaporean children and their parents ( N = 302) were recruited for a longitudinal study when the children were 7 years old. Subsequent follow‐up assessments were made at ages 8, 9, and 11. A multimethod approach was adopted where parent reports, child reports, and observational data on a dyadic i…
The Role of Context in the Categorization of Hybrid Toy Stimuli by 18‐Month‐Olds
Using a sequential touching procedure, we examined whether 18‐month‐olds could use different categorization strategies adaptively as a function of context. Infants were presented with test toys of land animals (quadrupeds), cars, and hybrids made by recombining car parts with animal parts. Infants who experienced a context emphasizing a taxonomic divide were subsequently more likely to form categories that reflected a taxonomic divide, whereas in…
Toddlers’ novel word learning
We explore factors affecting word learning: phonological representation, vocabulary size and the frequency with which parents name objects for their children. Infants at 16–20 months were taught two novel words using preferential looking; they showed reliable learning of these words and reliably distinguished between familiar objects with phonologically similar labels, supporting the view that phonological representation is not necessarily ‘under…
