What Is Necessarily True in Psychology
TL;DR: The authors argue that a proposition in a given context belongs to common sense if and only if all competent users of the language involved agree that the proposition in the given context is true and that its negation is contradictory or senseless.
Journal ArticleDOI
Categorization and Its Developmental Relation to Early Language.
TL;DR: The results suggest that although children's developing knowledge of object categories may underlie developments in categorization and naming such developments depend on other abilities as well, the past experiences of the child and the particular context in which the behavior is exhibited may be a more meaningful approach to understanding changes in categorizing and ultimately its relation to language.

Developmental changes in social attention and oxytocin levels in infants and children.
TL;DR: The results suggest that there is an age-dependent association between visual attention for social cues and OT levels in infants and children, and that the development of visual attention to the eyes as social cues is associated with both OXTR polymorphisms and OT Levels.

Journal ArticleDOI
Longitudinal genetic analysis of EEG coherence in young twins.
TL;DR: It is argued that this is convincing evidence for the existence of stage-wise brain maturation from years 5 to 7, and that growth spurts in EEG coherence may be part of the biological basis for discontinuous cognitive development at that age range.
