From temporal updating to temporal reasoning: Developments in young children's temporal representations

Research output: Contribution to journalComment/debatepeer-review

Abstract

Evidence from our research on young children's temporal understanding supports Hoerl & McCormack's view that young children rely on a temporal updating system to change representations over time. We propose that the shift from temporal updating to temporal reasoning is enabled by children's expanding representations of event sequences, along with developments in language, memory, and other cognitive competencies.
