Although there is significant income instability during pregnancy, and it can increase stress among pregnant parents, the impact of income instability on brain development is not well understood. The present study examined the association between household income losses during pregnancy and hippocampus and amygdala volumes in early infancy. A total of 63 infants from a prospective longitudinal study of pregnant individuals and their infants completed an MRI during natural sleep. The total number of negative month-to-month earnings shocks (defined as an arc percent change [APC] of −25 or greater) was significantly associated with smaller right hippocampal and right amygdala volumes. This suggests that household income losses during the perinatal period are associated with infant brain structure after birth. These findings provide support for the development of public programs that prioritize financial consistency, especially during sensitive periods like pregnancy.","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.70022","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143914453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Why? We test whether causal reasoning plays a role, and find that from childhood, people can intuitively reason about how musical sounds were generated, inferring the events and agents that caused the sounds. In Experiment 1 (N = 120, pre-registered), 6-year-old children and adults inferred the presence of an unobserved animate agent from hearing musical sounds, by integrating information from the sounds’ timing with knowledge of the visual context. Thus, children inferred that an agent was present when the sounds would require self-propelled movement to produce, given the current visual context (e.g., unevenly-timed notes, from evenly-spaced xylophone bars). Consistent with Bayesian causal inference, this reasoning was flexible, allowing people to make inferences not only about unobserved agents, but also the structure of the visual environment in which sounds were produced (in Experiment 2, N = 114). Across experiments, we found evidence of developmental change: Younger children ages 4–5 years failed to integrate auditory and visual information, focusing solely on auditory features (Experiment 1) and failing to connect sounds to visual contexts that produced them (Experiment 2). Our findings support a developmental account in which before age 6, children's reasoning about the causes of musical sounds is limited by failure to integrate information from multiple modalities when engaging in causal reasoning. By age 6, children and adults integrate auditory information with other knowledge to reason about how musical sounds were generated, and thereby link musical sounds with the agents, contexts, and events that caused them.","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.70021","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143896988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we used a comparative developmental perspective to provide an assessment of mother–infant face-to-face interactions in several great and small ape species and to better understand which aspects of face-to-face interactions are shared by humans with other species. We conducted longitudinal behavioral observations on 48 mother–infant pairs from five different genera (i.e., Hylobates: N = 9; Homo: N = 10; Nomascus: N = 6; Pan: N = 18; Symphalangus: N = 5), when infants were 1, 6, and 12 months old. Generalized linear mixed models revealed differences across ape genera and through development in the probability that mothers and infants engaged in face-to-face interactions during the first year of the offsprings’ life. As predicted, these interactions were more likely when mothers and infants spent less time in physical contact, in communities usually characterized by more distal parenting styles (i.e., WEIRD humans), and when infants became older and thus motorically more independent. Overall, our findings suggest that face-to-face interactions were likely present in the common ancestor of humans and small apes, and likely serve a similar function across ape species.","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.70019","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accordingly, children's prosocial modeling may generalize across different types of prosocial behaviors that share the same prosocial goal. We tested this hypothesis by examining whether observing a group of peers engaging in one type of prosocial behavior (social mindfulness) promoted another type of prosocial behavior (sharing) among 4-year-old and 6-year-old Chinese children (N = 128). The results showed that children who observed peers making socially mindful choices shared significantly more than those who observed random or preference-based choices, with this effect being particularly pronounced in 6-year-olds. These findings demonstrate that children's learning of prosocial behavior is transferable, with goal contagion serving as a potential foundational mechanism, underscoring the flexible influence of prosocial modeling on children's emerging prosocial tendencies.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143809633","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Condition 1 (2 vs. 3), infants can differentiate small syllable sequences (2 vs. 3), with better performance for the 2-syllable sequence, which imposes a lower memory load. Condition 2 (2 vs. 4) revealed that infants are capable of discriminating across bounds, with relatively higher performance for the 4-syllable sequence, possibly encoded as one large ensemble.

This may allow infants to prioritize relevant information and to predict others' actions, despite limited processing capacities. However, when events occur in the absence of others, for example, an object changes location, this would create altercentric memory errors where infants misremember the object's location where others last saw it. Pupillometry presents a powerful tool to examine the temporal dynamics of such memory biases as they unfold. Here, we showed infants aged 9 (N = 97) and 18 months (N = 79) videos of an agent watching an object move to one of two hiding locations. The object then moved from location A to B, which the agent either missed (leading to her false belief) or witnessed (true belief). The object subsequently reappeared either at its actual or, surprisingly, its initial location. As predicted by the altercentric theory, 9-month-old infants expected the object where the agent falsely believed it to be and not where it really was, as indicated in their pupil dilation. In contrast, 18-month-old infants seemed to remember the object's actual location. Infants’ memory errors did not predict correct action anticipation when the agent reached into one of the locations to retrieve the object. This indicates that infants show altercentric memory errors at a young age, which vanish in the second year of life. We suggest that this bias helps young infants to learn from others, but recedes as they become more capable of acting on the world themselves.","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.70016","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741146","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Accumulating evidence shows that foundational forms of metacognition are already present in young infants and then scaffold later-emerging skills. Although many animals exhibit cognitive processes relevant to metacognition, it is unclear if other species share the developmental trajectories seen in humans. Here, we examine the emergence of metacognitive information-seeking in rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). We presented a large sample of semi-free-ranging monkeys, ranging from juvenility to adulthood, with a one-shot task where they could seek information about a food reward by bending down to peer into a center vantage point in an array of tubes. In the hidden condition, information-seeking was necessary as no food was visible on the apparatus, whereas in the visible control, condition information-seeking was not necessary to detect the location of the reward. Monkeys sought information at the center vantage point more often when it was necessary than in the control condition, and younger monkeys already showed competency similar to adults. We also tracked additional monkeys who voluntarily chose not to approach to assess monkeys’ ability to actively infer opportunities for information-seeking, and again found similar performance in juveniles and adults. Finally, we found that monkeys were overall slower to make metacognitive inferences than to approach known reward, and that younger monkeys were specifically slower to detect opportunities for information-seeking compared to adults. These results indicate that many features of mature metacognition are already detectable in young monkeys, paralleling evidence for “core metacognition” in infant humans.","PeriodicalId":48392,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Science","volume":"28 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/desc.70012","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717387","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present descriptive statistics of each dimension to assess whether naturalistic recordings were biased regarding the demographics of the countries and the families recorded within them. We find that CHILDES's recordings overrepresented wealthier countries and higher parental education levels, urban settings, and smaller households. Middle- and higher-class participants were likewise over-represented. The corpora were not representative of their countries in terms of urbanization either—with a larger percentage of families residing in urban settings than is overall true for their respective countries. In terms of family structure, nuclear families were more prevalent than in the countries where the data were collected. Last, we found that corpora were linguistically diverse, but we estimate that these recordings underrepresented bilingual and multilingual households.
