Journal Article
Reindl, E., Völter, C. J., Campbell-May, J., Call, J., & Seed, A. M. (2022). Exploring the development of attentional set shifting in young children with a novel Intradimensional/Extradimensional shift task. Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 221(105428), Article 105428. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jecp.2022.105428

Attentional set shifting is a core part of cognition, allowing quick and flexible adaption to new demands. The study of its development during early childhood has been hampered by a shortage of measures not requiring language. This article argues for...

The structure of executive functions in preschool children and chimpanzees (2022)
Journal Article
Völter, C. J., Reindl, E., Felsche, E., Civelek, Z., Whalen, A., Lugosi, Z., Duncan, L., Herrmann, E., Call, J., & Seed, A. M. (2022). The structure of executive functions in preschool children and chimpanzees. Scientific Reports, 12(1), https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-022-08406-7

Executive functions (EF) are a core aspect of cognition. Research with adult humans has produced evidence for unity and diversity in the structure of EF. Studies with preschoolers favour a 1-factor model, in which variation in EF tasks is best explai... Read More about The structure of executive functions in preschool children and chimpanzees.

Young children spontaneously invent three different types of associative tool use behaviour (2022)
Journal Article
Reindl, E., Tennie, C., Apperly, I., Lugosi, Z., & Beck, S. (2022). Young children spontaneously invent three different types of associative tool use behaviour. Evolutionary Human Sciences, 4, 1-23. https://doi.org/10.1017/ehs.2022.4

Associative Tool Use (ATU) describes the use of two or more tools in combination, with the literature further differentiating between Tool set use, Tool composite use, Sequential tool use and Secondary tool use. Research investigating the cognitive p... Read More about Young children spontaneously invent three different types of associative tool use behaviour.
