B.E.A.R LAb News

Recruiting for the C.A.T. Study!

We are enrolling children 6-10 year old to participate in a new research study exploring the ways in which different online and in-person learning environments influence children's attention. Come join us!

New Papers from the BEAR Lab Team!

Student Persistence and Cognitive Control

Torgrimson, S. J., Tan, P. Z., & Grammer, J. K. (2021). Associations among response inhibition, motivational beliefs, and task persistence in early elementary school. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 208, 105141.

Measuring EF in the Group Setting

Ahmed, S. F., Grammer, J., & Morrison, F. (2021). Cognition in context: Validating group-based executive function assessments in young children. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 208, 105131.

Culture, Parent Emotion Socialization, and Adolescent Peer Rejection

Rapp, A. M., Tan, P. Z., Grammer, J. K., Gehring, W. J., Miller, G. A., & Chavira, D. A. (2021). Cultural Values Influence Relations Between Parent Emotion Socialization and Adolescents’ Neural Responses to Peer Rejection. Research on Child and Adolescent Psychopathology, 1-13.

In this study, we are investigating the factors that influence Chinese American mothers’ cultural value, maternal behaviors, and their children’s executive function skills. The study will explicate variations within Chinese American families with the goal of moving beyond stereo-typed and/or deficit-oriented perspectives of parenting practices and hopefully inform the development of more culturally sensitive interventions targeting parental socialization and EF development in Chinese Americans.
