Abstract Older children with online schooling requirements, unsurprisingly, were reported to have increased screen time during the first COVID-19 lockdown in many countries. Here, we ask whether younger no similar requirements also had lockdown. We examined children’s a large cohort (n = 2209) of 8-to-36-month-olds sampled from 15 labs across 12 Caregivers that toddlers exposed more than before While this was exacerbated for countries longer lockdowns, there evidence increase associated...
Research with typically developing children suggests a strong positive relation between early gesture use and subsequent vocabulary development. In this study, we ask whether production plays similar role for autism spectrum disorder. We observed 23 18-month-old 30-month-old disorder interact their caregivers (Communication Play Protocol) coded types of gestures produced ( deictic, give, conventional, iconic) in two communicative contexts (commenting requesting). One year later, assessed...
Typically developing (TD) children refer to objects uniquely in gesture (e.g., point at a cat) before they produce verbal labels for these ("cat"). The onset of such gestures predicts the similar spoken words, showing strong positive relation between early and words. We asked whether plays same door-opening role word learning with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) Down syndrome (DS), who show delayed vocabulary development differ strength production. To answer this question, we observed 23...
This study aimed to characterize digital media (DM) use in Swiss children aged 0 5 years, focusing on child access different types of devices, duration use, as well the content and context screen use. A sample 4’173 parents living Switzerland with at least one years (M = 38.4 months, SD=17.2 months) completed a cross-sectional online survey between February 2023 May 2024. To reach socio-economically diverse sample, we also collaborated family support organizations panel platform. The...

The COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting closure of daycare centers worldwide, led to unprecedented changes in children’s learning environments. This period increased time at home with caregivers, limited access external sources (e.g., daycares) provides a unique opportunity examine associations between caregiver-child activities language development. vocabularies 1742 children aged 8-36 months across 13 countries 12 languages were evaluated beginning end first lockdown their respective...
Early spontaneous gesture, specifically deictic predicts subsequent vocabulary development in typically developing (TD) children. Here, we ask whether gesture plays a similar role predicting later size children with Down Syndrome (DS), who have been shown to difficulties speech production, but strengths and baby sign use. We compared the gestures signs produced by twenty-three DS (Mage = 2;6) TD 1;6), relation their expressive spoken one year later. Children showed significant deficits...
Abstract The risk of adverse psychological outcomes in adult victims childhood and adolescent sexual abuse (CSA) has been documented; however, research on possible mediating variables is still required, namely with a clinical perspective. attachment literature suggests that secure interpersonal relationships may represent such variable. Twenty‐eight women who had experienced episodes CSA, 16 control women, were interviewed using Bremner's Early Trauma Inventory the DSM‐IV Global Assessment...
Role reversal, whereby a child attempts to meet her parent's adult needs for parenting, intimacy, or companionship, has been identified as risk factor developmental disturbances. It defined from diverse perspectives attachment strategy, parent - toddler relational disturbance, and boundary disturbance between parents child. The recently discovered infant's triangular capacity, namely the sharing of attention affects with both parents, allows one analyse contribution early family dynamics....
Abstract Developmental psychology researchers examine the temporal relationships of social and communicative behaviors, such as how a child responds to name call, understand early typical atypical development discover signs autism developmental delay. These related behaviors occur together or within close proximity, forming unique patterns interest. However, task finding these signs, which are in form behavioral patterns, becomes more challenging when multiple children at different ages need...
Inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs) refer to rare heterogeneous genetic disorders with various clinical manifestations that can cause serious physical and psychological sequelae. Results previous studies on the impact an IEM health-related quality life (HR-QoL) were incongruent only few considered more broadly well-being children their families. Our objectives examine: (1) severity HR-QoL functioning patients parents at baseline; (2) its evolution over time; (3) correlation between parental...
