Participants included 26 typically developing children, aged 5.0 to 8.9 (years.months; 12 female). Six participants (23%) identified as Hispanic (White: n = 4; Multiracial: n = 1; Unspecified: n = 1). Twenty participants identified as Not Hispanic (White: n = 16; Black/African American: n = 1; Multiracial; n = 3). A modified serial reaction time task assessed children's abilities to learn sequences that share key elements with either Word segmentation or grammatical structure. In the Word condition, sequences were based on local transitional probabilities. In the Grammar condition, sequences complied with a second-order rule. Each condition included a randomized comparison block. Children were sensitive to the sequences in both the Word and Grammar conditions during training, though this emerged more rapidly in the Word condition. Effect sizes (ηp2) ranged from moderate to large. Importantly, children did not generalize to novel exemplars in the Grammar condition. Thus, they may have attended to associative biphone sequences or visual features of the array rather than learning the second-order rule itself. This task affords the embedding of linguistically relevant sequences into a simple manual task to reveal domain-general learning mechanisms relevant for language.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70127","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148587205","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants were parents (15 fathers and 124 mothers) and teachers (22 in total) of 139 children (52.5% boys, mean age = 4.41 years) from a local kindergarten situated in a middle-socioeconomic area. At Time 1, parents provided demographic information, and teachers rated children's social mastery motivation and social–emotional competence through questionnaires. Six months later, at Time 2, teachers performed the rating again. A cross-lagged path model demonstrated evidence for co-development between the two constructs. Children's social mastery motivation at Time 1 positively predicted their social–emotional competence at Time 2 (β = 0.39, SE = 0.04, p < 0.001), and social–emotional competence at Time 1 significantly predicted social mastery motivation at Time 2 (β = 0.24, SE = 0.15, p < 0.01). The findings highlight that children who are more motivated to initiate and persist in social interactions tend to develop stronger social–emotional skills over time, and vice versa. The results also underscore the utility of the play-based approach by offering kindergarten children additional group play opportunities, such as sociodramatic play, to nurture these motivational desires and skills.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70130","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148615728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Parent-reported data from 1498 preschool children in France were analysed using latent class analysis, considering nap frequency, duration, timing and acceptance at home and school. Five distinct profiles were identified: regular, frequent, school, home and non-nappers. While several profiles followed an expected age-related pattern, two reflected discrepancies between home and school nap practices, suggesting the influence of environmental constraints beyond biological maturation. Context-dependent profiles showed signs of sleep misalignment: school nappers exhibited more sleep onset difficulties, whereas older home nappers showed greater daytime fatigue despite normal nighttime sleep, suggesting unmet sleep needs. Together, these findings indicate that nap cessation reflects a dynamic interplay between developmental maturation and contextual factors, rather than age alone. The results support flexible and individualised preschool nap practices, rather than uniform policies based solely on chronological age.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70120","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148467586","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 541 mother–infant dyads with infants aged 3 to 8 months. Gross motor skills were assessed using the Ages and Stages Questionnaire. Predictor variables were categorised into individual, maternal and environmental domains. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and supplementary regression analyses were conducted. Exploratory SEM analyses suggested that individual and environmental factors may be associated with gross motor development, with standardised coefficients of (−0.15) and (0.15), respectively. Supplementary regression analyses showed that several individual factors, particularly mastery motivation, birth season and child age, were significantly associated with gross motor development. Within the maternal domain, pre-pregnancy body mass index and mode of delivery were significantly associated with gross motor outcomes. Among environmental factors, father–infant attachment showed a potential association with gross motor development. These findings provide exploratory evidence suggesting that individual, maternal and environmental factors are associated with infant gross motor development, highlighting the multifactorial nature of early motor development. However, given the suboptimal fit of the SEM model, these results should be interpreted with caution and considered preliminary rather than confirmatory.

Multilevel regression models show that both family and community social capital were linked to fewer behaviour problems before the COVID-19 pandemic, with disadvantaged children benefiting most from community cohesion, consistent with resource substitution theory. However, the influence of community social capital weakened during the pandemic, benefiting only children in middle- or high-SES neighbourhoods, while disadvantaged children faced compounded risks from limited family and community resources. The findings have implications for policymakers to foster community social cohesion and reciprocity, especially in the post-pandemic period, which, in turn, could promote social equity and children's well-being.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70124","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148429202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This so-called over-imitation also appears to remain intact when the model appears on a screen. However, children are increasingly exposed to different digital devices and the extent to which the medium of presentation impacts social learning proclivities remains untested. The current study aimed to address this gap. In a between-subjects design, 119 3- to 5-year-old children (65 boys and 54 girls) of predominantly Caucasian origin were allocated to four conditions. In three digital device conditions, children watched a model on a smartphone, tablet or TV performing irrelevant actions on an apparatus. A fourth group of children watched the equivalent demonstration performed by a live model. Results revealed no difference in over-imitation across the different conditions, suggesting children interpret certain types of social information similarly whether presented live or on different screen media formats. This highlights the narrowing gap between children's learning from digital devices and real-world scenarios. Additionally, the findings provide developmental researchers with greater confidence that the type of digital device used in studying social learning may be less important than the quality and content it provides.","PeriodicalId":47820,"journal":{"name":"Infant and Child Development","volume":"35 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-07-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/icd.70116","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148415503","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
