For over 35 years, the violation-of-expectation paradigm has been used to study the
development of expectations in the first 3 years of life. A wide range of expectations has …

Contemporary conceptualizations on infant cognitive development focus on predictive
processes; the basic idea is that the brain continuously creates predictions about what is …

The ability to predict upcoming events is essential in infancy because it enables babies to
process information optimally and have successful goal‐directed interactions with their …

Adults use both bottom‐up sensory inputs and top‐down signals to generate predictions
about future sensory inputs. Infants have also been shown to make predictions with simple …

Looking times and gaze behavior indicate that infants can predict the goal state of an
observed simple action event (eg, object‐directed gras**) already in the first year of life …

Developmental psychology and cultural evolution are concerned with the same research
questions but rarely interact. Collaboration between these fields could lead to substantial …

Prediction, a prospective cognitive process, is increasingly believed to be crucial for adult
cognition and learning. Despite decades of targeted research on prediction in adults …

The development of gaze following begins in early infancy and its developmental foundation
has been under heavy debate. Using a longitudinal design (N= 118), we demonstrate that …

Infants generate basic expectations about their physical and social environment. This early
knowledge allows them to identify opportunities for learning, preferring to explore and learn …

This is the first review to quantitatively summarise evidence evaluating MI functioning in
children with DCD compared to controls based on the hand rotation task (HRT). Specifically …
