Mental files theory of mind: When do children consider agents acquainted with different object identities?.

Cognition

Huemer M, Perner J, Leahy B.
PMID: 29156240
Cognition. 2018 Feb;171:122-129. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2017.10.011. Epub 2017 Nov 16.

Mental files theory explains why children pass many perspective taking tasks like the false belief test around age 4 (Perner & Leahy, 2016). It also explains why older children struggle to understand that beliefs about an object depend on...

Theorizing and researching levels of processing in self-regulated learning.

The British journal of educational psychology

Winne PH.
PMID: 28791689
Br J Educ Psychol. 2018 Mar;88(1):9-20. doi: 10.1111/bjep.12173. Epub 2017 Aug 09.

BACKGROUND: Deep versus surface knowledge is widely discussed by educational practitioners. A corresponding construct, levels of processing, has received extensive theoretical and empirical attention in learning science and psychology. In both arenas, lower levels of information and shallower levels...

What will I like best when I'm all grown up? Preschoolers' understanding of future preferences.

Child development

Bélanger MJ, Atance CM, Varghese AL, Nguyen V, Vendetti C.
PMID: 25109689
Child Dev. 2014 Nov-Dec;85(6):2419-31. doi: 10.1111/cdev.12282. Epub 2014 Aug 11.

Three experiments investigated 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds' (N = 240) understanding that their future or "grown-up" preferences may differ from their current ones (self-future condition). This understanding was compared to children's understanding of the preferences of a grown-up (adult-now...

Homo heuristicus outnumbered: comment on Gigerenzer and Brighton (2009).

Topics in cognitive science

Hilbig BE, Richter T.
PMID: 25164181
Top Cogn Sci. 2011 Jan;3(1):187-96. doi: 10.1111/j.1756-8765.2010.01123.x.

Gigerenzer and Brighton (2009) have argued for a "Homo heuristicus" view of judgment and decision making, claiming that there is evidence for a majority of individuals using fast and frugal heuristics. In this vein, they criticize previous studies that...

Singular thought: object-files, person-files, and the sortal PERSON.

Topics in cognitive science

Murez M, Smortchkova J.
PMID: 25155025
Top Cogn Sci. 2014 Oct;6(4):632-46. doi: 10.1111/tops.12110. Epub 2014 Aug 26.

In philosophy, "singular thought" refers to our capacity to represent entities as individuals, rather than as possessors of properties. Philosophers who defend singularism argue that perception allows us to mentally latch onto objects and persons directly, without conceptualizing them...

Is understanding regret dependent on developments in counterfactual thinking?.

The British journal of developmental psychology

Beck SR, Crilly M.
PMID: 19998545
Br J Dev Psychol. 2009 Jun;27:505-10. doi: 10.1348/026151008x401697.

Children's understanding of counterfactual emotions such as regret and relief develops relatively late compared to their ability to imagine counterfactual worlds. We tested whether a late development in counterfactual thinking: understanding counterfactuals as possibilities, underpinned children's understanding of regret....

Testing primary-school children's understanding of the nature of science.

The British journal of developmental psychology

Koerber S, Osterhaus C, Sodian B.
PMID: 25295692
Br J Dev Psychol. 2015 Mar;33(1):57-72. doi: 10.1111/bjdp.12067. Epub 2014 Oct 08.

Understanding the nature of science (NOS) is a critical aspect of scientific reasoning, yet few studies have investigated its developmental beginnings and initial structure. One contributing reason is the lack of an adequate instrument. Two studies assessed NOS understanding...

Young Children's Ability to Produce Valid and Relevant Counter-Arguments.

Child development

Köymen B, O'Madagain C, Domberg A, Tomasello M.
PMID: 31729752
Child Dev. 2020 May;91(3):685-693. doi: 10.1111/cdev.13338. Epub 2019 Nov 15.

In collaborative problem solving, children produce and evaluate arguments for proposals. We investigated whether 3- and 5-year-olds (N = 192) can produce and evaluate arguments against those arguments (i.e., counter-arguments). In Study 1, each child within a peer dyad...

Young children's counterfactual thinking: Triggered by the negative emotions of others.

Journal of experimental child psychology

Nakamichi K.
PMID: 31382204
J Exp Child Psychol. 2019 Nov;187:104659. doi: 10.1016/j.jecp.2019.06.012. Epub 2019 Aug 02.

Three experiments examined the influence of other people's negative emotions on young children's counterfactual thinking. Experiment 1 (N = 48) explored whether 4- to 6-year-olds could think counterfactually about both physical and emotional events using the discriminating counterfactual tasks...

Preschoolers and multi-digit numbers: A path to mathematics through the symbols themselves.

Cognition

Yuan L, Prather RW, Mix KS, Smith LB.
PMID: 30933877
Cognition. 2019 Aug;189:89-104. doi: 10.1016/j.cognition.2019.03.013. Epub 2019 Mar 29.

Numerous studies from developmental psychology have suggested that human symbolic representation of numbers is built upon the evolutionally old capacity for representing quantities that is shared with other species. Substantial research from mathematics education also supports the idea that...
