U - Shaped Functions : Artifact or Hallmark of Development ?
Article: The articles in this collection consider one very interesting puzzle of development: U-shaped developmental functions. At some point during development, an organism might exhibit what seems like a regression from its expected developmental trajectory and, according to continuity models of development, this is aberrant. In this special issue, apparent regressions in behavior across a wi...
متن کاملU-Shaped Learning in Phonological Development
(1999). "Regressions" ("u"-shaped learning) in the acquisition of prosodic structure. This paper addresses learning of constraint rankings by children. We argue that constraint demotion cannot account for all developmental patterns observed in child phonology. Learning algorithms that allow for constraint promotion fare better, but some still cannot account for all developmental changes. Child ...
متن کاملExplaining the U-Shaped Development of Intent-Based Moral Judgments
When preschoolers evaluate actions and agents, they typically neglect agents' intentions and focus on action outcomes instead. By contrast, intentions count much more than outcomes for older children and adults. This phenomenon has traditionally been seen as evidence of a developmental change in children's concept of what is morally good and bad. However, a growing number of studies shows that ...
متن کاملU-Shaped Development: An Old but Unsolved Problem
Even today the investigation of U-shaped functions in human development is of considerable importance for different domains of Developmental Psychology. More and more scientific researchers focus their efforts on the challenge to describe and explain the phenomenon by identifying those skills and abilities being affected. The impact of U-shaped functions on diagnostic decision-making and on the...
متن کاملModeling U Shaped Performance Curves in Ongoing Development
This paper details a simple and general account, and model, of the U-shaped curve phenomena apparent in many developmental psychology experiments. The model replicates both the general form of the U-shape performance in ongoing development and accounts for additional observations in the psychology literature such as the effect of noise in Switch task experiments. This leads to predictions both ...
