How do children conceive of weight? In particular, do children hold essentialist views of weight (i.e. do they view weight as natural, stable, inductively meaningful, and reflective of people’s insides) as they do of so many other social characteristics? We conducted an exploratory investigation of children’s weight essentialism across two studies. In total, 356 participants (280 4- to 11-year-old children and 76 adults from the United States, mostly White and from middle- to high-income families) participated in three tasks, respectively assessing three dimensions of essentialism of social categories: Beliefs about weight stability, heritability, and inductive potential despite transformation. Results revealed that children viewed weight as stable (similarly so to race) and informative of someone’s food choices, but they did not view it as biologically- or genetically-determined. Thus, children may not view weight as reflecting people’s biological nature (biological essentialism), but they may view weight as reflecting people’s stable personal character (moral essentialism) – a view which is also highly compatible with weight bias, unlike biological essentialism. Children also demonstrated stronger essentialist views of lightness than heaviness across tasks, though essentialism of heaviness increased over development. Findings are discussed as they relate to early conceptions of weight and weight bias. Implications for conceptualizations and measurement of essentialism are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":47680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cognition and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-08-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44845728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, relatively little is known about the contextual factors that may play a role in the development of these skills as children enter formal school. Building upon findings from the mother – child reminiscing literature, the current study was designed to examine concurrent and longitudinal associations between maternal elaborative reminiscing style, children’s autobiographical memory, and children's deliberate memory skills. Fifty-one children entering kindergarten, drawn from three schools in the Southeastern region of the United States, were assessed with a battery that included tasks for measuring autobiographical memory and deliberate memory. In a parent – child reminiscing task , parent – child dyads discussed two jointly-experienced events, and parents were categorized as higher or lower in their elaborative reminiscing style. The results reveal an association between parents’ reminiscing style and their children’s performance on the Free Recall with Organizational Training Task , in which both spontaneous and trained strategy use and recall are measured. Although elaborative reminiscing style was not associated with children’s spontaneous strategy use or recall performance at school entry, children with higher elaborative mothers displayed higher levels of strategy use and recall scores after training than did children with lower elaborative mothers. These findings highlight linkages between parents’ elaborative style and children’s uptake and successful use of strategic organizational training, underscoring the role that parent – child reminiscing conversations play in the socialization of cognition.","PeriodicalId":47680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cognition and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46924874","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This observation has motivated a sea-change in the social and cognitive sciences away from claiming human universals (especially universals based solely on the study of “WEIRD” populations, Henrich, Heine, & Norenzayan, 2010) and toward highlighting human diversity. This is an exciting and important change, but the explosion of new theories, new research paradigms, and new data can at times feel dizzying and chaotic for those of us who seek a principled way to understand what it means to be human. In his book Becoming Human: A Theory of Ontogeny, Michael Tomasello provides an elegant, culturally aware, and evolutionarily informed account of what we share despite our differences: our uniquely human ontogenies. This book is centrally about human development, specifically the unique cognitive and behavioral capacities arising in the first five years that enable us to participate in human social life and culture. Readers familiar with Tomasello’s extensive body of work will recognize the foundations of the evolutionary argument: Adaptations for social coordination and social transmission explain how humans diverged psychologically from our nearest primate relatives. Our capacity for Shared Intentionality – for acting collaboratively with others toward shared goals – is the key to human cognitive uniqueness and also to our success. But in Becoming Human, more than in any of his prior work, Tomasello elucidates every aspect of the development of the cognitive capacities necessary for shared intentionality in detail. In so doing, he elevates development as the primary, principled explanation for human cultural and psychological diversity. The argument can be summarized by reference to the title: To understand being, we have to understand becoming. Tomasello’s developmental theory is a classic nature-nurture interaction with twist: he argues for precisely timed maturational changes that emerge as a result of transactions between child and environment. The transactions are organized into four categories of learning experiences – individual, observational, pedagogical (instruction from adults), and collaborative (coordination with peers). As Tomasello states, “It is what children experience and learn during these maturationally structured transactions – and in many cases how they learn and who they learn from – that actually propels human ontogeny forward” (p. 35). An important part of the story is the capacity for self-regulation and adaptive action. Each social learning experience taxes the developing child’s executive self-regulation skills in unique ways. Self-regulating in various social contexts contributes to growth in cognitive capacities necessar","PeriodicalId":47680,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cognition and Development","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-06-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46295234","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
