Surprise: A More Realistic Framework for Studying Action Stopping?

Motor inhibition enables rapid action stopping, even post initiation. When action stopping is anticipated (such as in laboratory stopping tasks), inhibition is engaged proactively.

To investigate purely reactive inhibition, researchers need a different paradigm: studying surprise. […]

Development (of Walking): 15 Suggestions

Although a fundamental goal of developmental science is to identify general processes of change, developmental scientists rarely generalize beyond their specific content domains. As a first step toward a more unified approach to development, we offer 15 suggestions gleaned from a century of research on infant walking. These suggestions collectively address the multi-leveled nature of […]
