AbstractThe aim of this longitudinal study, carried out on a sample of Slovenian-speaking toddlers, was to analyze developmental changes and stability in early vocabulary development; to establish relations between toddler's vocabulary and grammar; and to analyze the effects of parental education and the frequency of shared reading on toddlers' vocabulary and grammar. The sample included fifty-one toddlers, aged 1;4 at the time of the first, and 2;7 at the time of the last, assessment. Toddlers' vocabulary and grammar were assessed six times during a 15-month period using the Slovenian adaptation of the CDI. Our findings suggest great individual differences in both size and rate of toddlers' vocabulary development. Toddlers' vocabulary scores remained relatively stable across a 3-month period. Early vocabulary at 1;7 predicted vocabulary, sentence complexity, and mean length of utterance (MLU) at 2;7, while the frequency of shared reading mediated the effect of parental education on toddlers' vocabulary and grammar at 2;7.

High Conflict

This longitudinal study examined developmental changes in conflict inhibition and error correction in three cohorts of children (5, 7, and 9 years of age). At each point of assessment, children completed three levels of Luria’s tapping task (1980), which requires the inhibition of a dominant response and maintenance of task rules in working memory. Findings suggest that both conflict inhibition and error detection and correction improve significantly during middle childhood. When cognitive demands were high, conflict inhibition, as shown by initial response accuracy, improved steadily across middle childhood. In contrast, the ability to detect and correct for errors improved between 5 and 6 years of age. Further, variability in conflict inhibition decreased with age and individual differences in conflict inhibition were stable across the 1-year period in the 7- and 9-year-old cohorts, but not 5-year-old cohort. These findings are discussed in relation to previous research on the development of inhibition.

Kinematic Assessment

A short-term longitudinal study was conducted to assess changes in the patterning of the limbs during infants’ transition to hands-and-knees crawling Six infants were studied using observational and kinematic assessment techniques The results revealed that all 6 infants converged on the same diagonal interlimb pattern for locomoting shortly after developing sufficient muscle strength to support their abdomens above the support surface This finding is significant because forward prone progression could be accomplished using any number of interlimb patterns (e g, moving one limb at a time), yet a diagonal pattern is the most flexible and dynamically efficient The process by which this behavioral pattern emerges appears consistent with recent developmental theories suggesting that new responses are selected to optimize performance following periods of increased variability induced by changing organismic or environmental conditions

Educational Environments

A longitudinal study of the development of Micro-Educational Environments (MEEs) and microcomputer use by learning handicapped and nonhandicapped students was initiated This report describes current MEEs and microcomputer-use patterns and changes in these programs and patterns over a 2-year period. Focus is on the differences in the types of microcomputer instruction provided to special and regular education students and their response to that instruction. The design and use of instructional programs once the novelty of the technology has worn off will be explored.
