Contextual effects and early theory of mind skill development 2009 2138 This study examines the impact of maternal use of mental state language and maternal report of emotional expressivity in the family during a critical age in theory of mind development. Participants included 263 3.5 year-old children whose theory of m...
Physical discipline and externalizing behavior problems: moderating factors 2011 1511 Growth curve modeling was used to examine the influence of physical punishment (PP) on the trajectory of externalizing behavior problems in a community sample of children across the ages of 5 to 10. In addition, negative affect (NA), emotional climat...

Maternal sensitivity and physiological processes as predictors of infant emotion regulation 2013 1781 The current study examined the way in which regulatory processes of the central and parasympathetic nervous system are associated with one another, and linked to behavioral regulation, during both mild and moderate frustration. To gain a more compreh...
The socialization of emotion regulation in late childhood: the influence of friendship 2013 2145 The role of caregivers in the development of emotion regulation (ER) in infancy and early childhood has been established; however, friendships may serve an important role in socializing the ongoing development of regulatory processes starting in late...

To assess family stress, a composite of mother-reported strain from parenting, romantic partner...
Longitudinal changes in visual attention and EEG coherence: implications for the development of attention networks 2015 1021 Theoretical models of attention development have emphasized the role of neural networks in the emergence of attentional control towards the end of the first year of life. The current study aimed to assess the relation between neural network maturatio...
Biopsychosocial analysis of task engagement among preschool-age children 2015 746 The relation between physiological regulation, caregiver emotional support, and task engagement was examined among a diverse sample of 4-year old children (N = 244). It was predicted that physiological regulation and caregiver emotional support would...
