Explicit Memory and Brain-Electrical Activity in 10-month-old Infants
… intriguing and enduring issues in contemporary developmental cognitive neuroscience centers on the development of the ability to remember past experiences and the neural systems which support this capacity. Over the past 25 years, through methodological advancements and direct challenges to …

Reality Resists Classification: A Transdiagnostic, Network-Based Approach to Behavioural and Neural Variation in Childhood
… biological and environmental phenomena. Key developmental outcomes, such as cognitive ability and behaviour, are closely associated with the structure and function of the brain. These features of neurobiology are shaped concurrently by genetic factors, individuals’ interactions with the …

Early neural signatures of cognitive development
… looking behavior in terms of particular cognitive or brain mechanisms presents significant challenges, given the multiple underlying processes involved (Aslin, 2007; Reynolds & Romano, 2016). Alternatively, infant neuroimaging methodologies, particularly functional near-infrared …

Regional differences in task-related brain electrical activity and sources of variability in working memory function in early childhood
… development of brain-cognition relations from a developmental cognitive neuroscience perspective. There were two main goals of this study. First, this study focused on the regional differences in baseline-to-working memory task brain electrical activity and specifically investigated the …

Developing a Theory of Mind : insights from FMRI studies of children
Social cognitive abilities undergo drastic changes throughout childhood. Theory of mind (ToM), the ability to reason about the mental states of others, is a core social cognitive ability that is crucial for navigating the social world. A majority of prior fMRI research on ToM has characterized the …

Signal Processing Methods for Reliable Extraction of Neural Responses in Developmental EEG
… world provides remarkable insights into the neurocognitive predispositions that humans are endowed with. First, it helps us to improve our current knowledge of the development of a typical brain. Secondly, it potentially opens new pathways for earlier diagnosis of several developmental …

Individual Differences in Inhibitory Control Skills at Three Years of Age
Seventy-three children participated in an investigation of inhibitory control (IC) at 3 years of age. Child IC was measured under various conditions in order to determine the impact that nonverbal and/or motivational task demands had on child IC task performance. Furthermore, task performance was …

An Electrophysiological Investigation of Source Memory Development in Early Childhood
The present study examined source memory development in a sample of 4 and 6 year children. Patterns of brain electrical (EEG) activity were examined in order to provide a neural basis for the role of prefrontal cortex functioning during source monitoring. Children were taught a series of novel …

Exploring the Role of Language Development and Verbal Encoding in Short-Term Recognition Memory in Early Childhood
… that language ability is related to a number of cognitive processes, including memory. As children become more proficient language-users, they develop the ability to use language as a memory attribute. This study used EEG coherence to investigate the extent to which verbal encoding strategies …

Language Development and Verbal Encoding: Implications for Individual Differences in Short-Term Memory in 3-Year-Olds
… that language ability is related to a number of cognitive processes, including memory. This study used EEG to investigate the extent to which verbal encoding strategies account for individual differences in short-term recognition memory performance in 44 3-year-olds. As hypothesized, children …
