The Influence of Memory on Visual Perception in Infants, Children, and Adults

open access: yesCognitive Science, Volume 47, Issue 11, November 2023., 2023
Abstract Perception is not an independent, in‐the‐moment event. Instead, perceiving involves integrating prior expectations with current observations. How does this ability develop from infancy through adulthood? We examined how prior visual experience shapes visual perception in infants, children, and adults. Using an identical task across age groups,

The dynamic functions of social cues during children's word learning

open access: yesInfant and Child Development, Volume 32, Issue 1, January/February 2023., 2023
Abstract Children learn words in a social environment, facilitated in part by social cues from caregivers, such as eye‐gaze and gesture. A common assumption is that social cues convey either perceptual or social information, depending on the age of the child. In this review of research on word learning and social cues during early childhood, we propose
