In the dynamic and complex process of language development, some populations, like preterm-born children, are at risk of developing language delays. T…

A phased diploid telomere-to-telomere reference genome for the zebra finch fully resolves its complete somatic chromosome set, recovering 2,710 previously missing or unannotated genes. The assembly al...

Characterizing the factors that have shaped linguistic diversity is fundamental for understanding human history, culture, and cognition. In this study, we combined statistical and social computational...

Children can be primed to anticipate a recently heard sentence structure. This is more likely to occur when the structures of the primes are unlikely, or surprising, for a given context. The disflu...

Finger counting is recognized as a valuable tool that supports young children in performing arithmetic tasks. However, concerns have been raised about whether this practice traps children in immatu...

Infants as young as 9 months demonstrate both inhibitory control, as revealed by the Spatial Negative Priming (SNP) effect, and numerical biases, such as the Operational Momentum (OM) effect – an o...

Aesthetic experience extends beyond beauty and liking. Using a structured taxonomy of emotional and cognitive impacts, we measured agreement in responses to artworks. Additionally, we tested such agr...

The current study investigated the link between subdomains of spatial and math skills in preschool-aged full-term and preterm-born children. We assessed 238 English-speaking children living in the ...

Block construction performance is related to mathematics and block construction training leads to improvement in mathematics. However, block construction is a complex task, and it is unknown which ...

Gestures can play a role in narrating emotionally valenced autobiographical events, particularly in second language use. We investigated how hand gestures, phen...

Our brain wiring seems to undergo four major turning points at ages 9, 32, 66 and 83, which could influence our capacity to learn and our risk of certain conditions

As part of the multimodal language system, gestures play a vital role for listeners, by capturing attention and providing information. Similarly, disfluencies serve as a cue for the listeners about o...

Explaining the origins of language is a key challenge in understanding ourselves as a species. We present an empirical framework that draws on synergies across fields to facilitate robust studies of l...

The unique human ability to process complex language requires the interaction of multiple brain areas located in the inferior frontal and posterior temporal cortex connected by white matter fiber trac...

Cultural influences, such as a language’s reading direction and parents’ everyday interactions, can impact a child’s asymmetric mapping of information to the left and right sides of space. To deter...

Welcome to CogSci Unpacked, an exciting blog series dedicated to summarizing academic papers from the Cognitive Science, a CSS Journal. Our goal is to bridge the gap between academia and the broader p...

In recent years, the importance of estimating demographic biases in research has become apparent. Here, we provide a systematic review of the CHILDES database, the major source of naturalistic record....

This study addresses the question of whether and how language influences mathematical cognition. Canadian students in Grades 4–7 (N = 348) were asked fraction multiplication questions in one of the...

Eighty 4- and 5-year-olds and their parents were randomly assigned to a spatial or narrative activity condition. For a month, parents engaged their children in these activities and learned about the ...
