Connectionist and dynamical systems approaches explain human thought, language and
behavior in terms of the emergent consequences of a large number of simple noncognitive …

In this article, we review research and theory on the development of attention and working
memory in infancy using a developmental cognitive neuroscience framework. We begin with …

A well-known characteristic of working memory (WM) is its limited capacity. The source of
such limitations, however, is a continued point of debate. Developmental research is …

Methods We conducted a 3-arm, cluster-randomized controlled trial at 4 worksites in Texas
from 2010 through 2013 to compare a group-based, structured Booster Break program to an …

The interaction of visual exploration and auditory processing is central to early cognitive
development, supporting object discrimination, categorization, and word learning. Research …

Infant visual attention develops rapidly over the first year of life, significantly altering the way
infants respond to peripheral visual events. Here, we present data from 5‐, 7‐, and 10 …

Working memory is a vital cognitive skill that underlies a broad range of behaviors. Higher
cognitive functions are reliably predicted by working memory measures from two domains …

We examine the contributions of dynamic systems theory to the field of cognitive
development, focusing on modeling using dynamic neural fields. After introducing central …

Visual working memory (VWM) is a central cognitive system used to compare views of the
world and detect changes in the local environment. This system undergoes dramatic …

Cognitive outcomes for children born prematurely are well characterized, including
increased risk for deficits in memory, attention, processing speed, and executive function …
