The Production Effect Improves Memory in 7‐ to 10‐Year‐Old Children

Verena E. Pritchard, Michelle Heron‐Delaney, Stephanie A. Malone, Colin M. MacLeod

The production effect—whereby reading words aloud improves memory for those words relative to reading them silently—was investigated in two experiments with 7‐ to 10‐year‐old children residing in Brisbane, Australia. Experiment 1 (n = 41) involved familiar printed words, with words read aloud or silently appearing either in mixed‐ or blocked‐list formats in a within‐subject design. Recognition for...

Development of preferences for differently aged faces of different races

Michelle Heron‐Delaney, Paul C. Quinn, Fabrice Damon, Kang Lee, more

Social Development > 27 > 1 > 172 - 186

Children's experiences with differently aged faces changes in the course of development. During infancy, most faces encountered are adult, however as children mature, exposure to child faces becomes more extensive. Does this change in experience influence preference for differently aged faces? The preferences of children for adult vs. child, and adult vs. infant faces were investigated. Caucasian...

Predictors of non-return to work 2 years post-injury in road traffic crash survivors: Results from the UQ SuPPORT study

Michelle Heron-Delaney, Jacelle Warren, Justin A. Kenardy

Injury > 2017 > 48 > 6 > 1120-1128

Individuals who have sustained an injury from a road traffic crash (RTC) are at increased risk for long lasting health problems and non-return to work (NRTW). Determining the predictors of NRTW is necessary to develop screening tools to identify at-risk individuals and to provide early targeted intervention for successful return to work (RTW). The aim of this study was to identify factors that can...

Recovery trajectories for long-term health-related quality of life following a road traffic crash injury: Results from the UQ SuPPORT study

Justin Kenardy, Michelle Heron-Delaney, Joan Hendrikz, Jacelle Warren, more

Journal of Affective Disorders > 2017 > 214 > Complete > 8-14

Diminished physical and mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL) is a common consequence of road traffic crash (RTC) injury. This study aimed to (a) determine the probable recovery trajectories in physical and mental HRQoL; (b) examine the impact of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) on HRQoL scores within these trajectory groups; and (c) examine the influence of predictor covariates on trajectory...

The cognitive foundations of early arithmetic skills: It is counting and number judgment, but not finger gnosis, that count

Imogen Long, Stephanie A. Malone, Anne Tolan, Kelly Burgoyne, more

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2016 > 152 > C > 327-334

Following on from ideas developed by Gerstmann, a body of work has suggested that impairments in finger gnosis may be causally related to children’s difficulties in learning arithmetic. We report a study with a large sample of typically developing children (N=197) in which we assessed finger gnosis and arithmetic along with a range of other relevant cognitive predictors of arithmetic skills (vocabulary,...

Reality check: Prior exposure facilitates picture book imitation by 15-month-old infants

Gabrielle Simcock, Michelle Heron-Delaney

Infant Behavior and Development > 2016 > 45 > PB > 140-143

We examined whether 15-month-olds could imitate a novel action sequence from a picture book, and whether or not pre-exposure to the objects before reading the book would facilitate imitation. We found that infants only imitated from a picture book above baseline when they had previously interacted with the objects.

Development of category formation for faces differing by age in 9‐ to 12‐month‐olds: An effect of experience with infant faces

Fabrice Damon, Paul C. Quinn, Michelle Heron‐Delaney, Kang Lee, more

British Journal of Developmental Psychology > 34 > 4 > 582 - 597

We examined category formation for faces differing in age in 9‐ and 12‐month‐olds, and the influence of exposure to infant faces on such ability. Infants were familiarized with adult or infant faces, and then tested with a novel exemplar from the familiarized category paired with a novel exemplar from a novel category (Experiment 1). Both age groups formed discrete categories of adult and infant faces,...

The effect of mental health on long-term health-related quality of life following a road traffic crash: Results from the UQ SuPPORT study

Justin Kenardy, Michelle Heron-Delaney, Jacelle Warren, Erin Brown

Injury > 2015 > 46 > 5 > 883-890

Most research on the consequences of road traffic crashes (RTCs) has focused on serious injury cohorts, yet RTC survivors with minor injury are also affected. This study investigates the relationship between mental health and health-related quality of life (QoL) following an RTC for those with predominately minor injuries.A longitudinal cohort design with an opt-in consenting procedure was used. A...

Effect of Mental Health on Long-Term Disability After a Road Traffic Crash: Results From the UQ SuPPORT Study

Justin Kenardy, Michelle Heron-Delaney, Jacelle Warren, Erin A. Brown

Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation > 2015 > 96 > 3 > 410-417

To investigate the relation between mental health and disability after a road traffic crash (RTC) up to 24 months for claimants with predominantly minor injuries in an Australian sample.Longitudinal cohort study with survey and telephone interview data collected at approximately 6, 12, and 24 months post-RTC.Not applicable.Claimants (N=382) within a common-law, fault-based compulsory third-party motor...

A systematic review of predictors of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) for adult road traffic crash survivors

Michelle Heron-Delaney, Justin Kenardy, Erin Charlton, Yutaka Matsuoka

Injury > 2013 > 44 > 11 > 1413-1422

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is one of the most common psychological consequences for adult road traffic crash (RTC) survivors and can have serious and long-lasting consequences for recovery if left untreated. Prevalence rates of PTSD following a RTC vary from 6% to 45% (based on 51 prevalence estimates across 35 studies). Explanations for this wide variance are explored. A systematic review...

Nine-month-old infants prefer unattractive bodies over attractive bodies

Michelle Heron-Delaney, Paul C. Quinn, Kang Lee, Alan M. Slater, more

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2013 > 115 > 1 > 30-41

Infant responses to adult-defined unattractive male body shapes versus attractive male body shapes were assessed using visual preference and habituation procedures. Looking behavior indicated that 9-month-olds have a preference for unattractive male body shapes over attractive ones; however, this preference is demonstrated only when head information is obscured. In contrast, 6- and 3.5-month-olds...

Brief daily exposures to Asian females reverses perceptual narrowing for Asian faces in Caucasian infants

Gizelle Anzures, Andrea Wheeler, Paul C. Quinn, Olivier Pascalis, more

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2012 > 112 > 4 > 484-495

Perceptual narrowing in the visual, auditory, and multisensory domains has its developmental origins during infancy. The current study shows that experimentally induced experience can reverse the effects of perceptual narrowing on infants’ visual recognition memory of other-race faces. Caucasian 8- to 10-month-olds who could not discriminate between novel and familiarized Asian faces at the beginning...

When do infants expect hands to be connected to a person?

Virginia Slaughter, Michelle Heron-Delaney

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology > 2011 > 108 > 1 > 220-227

A violation-of-expectation paradigm was used to test whether infants infer a person based on the presence of hands alone. Infants were familiarized to a pair of hands that extended out from a curtain to play with a rattle, after which the curtain was opened to reveal either a real person or a mannequin. Infants’ looking at these outcomes was compared with baseline looking at the person and the mannequin...
