Leveraging an intensive time series of young children's movement to capture impulsive and inattentive behaviors in a preschool setting Child Dev. (IF 5.661) Pub Date : 2024-04-24 Andrew E. Koepp, Elizabeth T. Gershoff
Studying within‐person variability in children's behavior is frequently hindered by challenges collecting repeated observations. This study used wearable accelerometers to collect an intensive time series (2.7 million observations) of young children's movement at school (N = 62, Mage = 4.5 years, 54% male, 74% Non‐Hispanic White) in 2021. Machine learning analyses indicated that children's typical

Weekly links among irritability and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in high‐risk youth J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Aleksandra Kaurin, Aidan G.C. Wright, Giovanna Porta, Edward Hamilton, Kimberly Poling, Kelsey Bero, David Brent, Tina R. Goldstein
BackgroundPrevious studies demonstrate a link between irritability and suicidal thoughts and behaviors (STBs) in youth samples. However, they have mostly assessed irritability in community samples and as a largely dispositional (i.e. trait‐like) construct. Thus, it remains unclear to what extent links between irritability and STBs reflect within‐person processes of elevated risk in clinically meaningful

Editorial: Are government early years learning and development frameworks evidence‐based? A scientist's perspective J. Child Psychol. Psyc. (IF 7.6) Pub Date : 2024-04-17 Angelica Ronald
Not all young children attend nurseries, childminders or other group settings before they start school, but many do. It is common for countries to set out a framework to guide practice for early years providers (such as nurseries) to follow. The conundrum regarding these frameworks for young children is that proving evidence of a causal link between early environments and later outcomes is very challenging

Language development beyond the here‐and‐now: Iconicity and displacement in child‐directed communication Child Dev.

Most language use is displaced, referring to past, future, or hypothetical events, posing the challenge of how children learn what words refer to when the referent is not physically available. One possibility is that iconic cues that imagistically evoke properties of absent referents support learning when referents are displaced.
