Two studies investigated young 2- and 3-year-old Turkish children's developing understanding of normativity and freedom to act in games. As expected, children, especially 3-year-olds, protested more when there was a norm violation than when there was none. Surprisingly, however, no decrease in normative protest was observed even when the actor violated the norms due to a physical constraint, and not due to unwillingness. The increase in helping responses in this case lends support to the idea that at these ages, children could not yet incorporate an actor's freedom to act in line with his will as they respond to norm transgressions. The results of the two studies are discussed in the light of two general research issues: a) the importance of cross-cultural research, and b) the interaction of the cognitive system with the emotional-empathic system in development.

ENVIRONMENTAL ENRICHMENT AND CAREGIVER TRAINING TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF BIRTH TO 6-YEAR-OLDS IN TURKISH ORPHANAGES Kazak Berument, Sibel (Wiley, 2013-05-01) The aim of the present study was to develop an intervention program involving environmental enrichment and caregiver training to improve the language and cognitive development of infants and young children residing in institutional settings in Turkey. Results indicated that institutional care quality was significantly improved in the intervention institutions, but remained unchanged in the control institutions. Furthermore, while the cognitive and language developmental gap of the infant and toddlers in the...
An Examination of Turkish Early Childhood Teachers' Challenges in Implementing Pedagogical Documentation YILMAZ, ARİF; ŞAHİN, FİGEN; Buldu, Mehmet; ÜLKER ERDEM, AYÇA; EZMECİ, FULYA; Somer Olmez, Berrin; Aydos, Emine Hande; Buldu, Elif; Unal, Hazal Begum; Aras, Selda; Buldu, Metehan; AKGÜL, ESRA (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-09-01) This study examined the challenges of pedagogical documentation from the perspectives of Turkish early childhood teachers. Pedagogical documentation was initially introduced as a teaching, learning, and assessment tool in early childhood education settings in Turkey through a three-year project. A total of 22 early childhood teachers working in a variety of early childhood programs participated in the study. Data were gathered via semi-structured and focus group interviews at the end of an intervention on t...
Auditory-visual speech perception in three- and four-year-olds and its relationship to perceptual attunement and receptive vocabulary Erdener, Dogu; Burnham, Denis (Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2018-03-01) Despite the body of research on auditory-visual speech perception in infants and schoolchildren, development in the early childhood period remains relatively uncharted. In this study, English-speaking children between three and four years of age were investigated for: (i) the development of visual speech perception - lip-reading and visual influence in auditory-visual integration; (ii) the development of auditory speech perception and native language perceptual attunement; and (iii) the relationship between...
Understanding the Gaps Between Turkish Teachers' Beliefs and Practices for Dealing With Preschoolers' Peer Relationship Problems Sendil, Cagla Oneren; Erden, Feyza (Informa UK Limited, 2019-07-04) Research Findings: This study explores the beliefs, self-reported practices, and observed practices of Turkish preschool teachers toward children's peer relationship problems as well as the gap between their beliefs and practices. Five female teachers of 5-year-old children were selected as participants for this multiple case study. Approximately 79 hr of observation was conducted on the children's daily routines and activities in a natural classroom environment, which specifically included the teachers' pr...
The role of institution and home contexts in theory of mind development Yagmurlu, B; Kazak Berument, Sibel; Celimli, S (Elsevier BV, 2005-09-01) To investigate the role of early context in theory of mind development, institutionalized children living in a boarding home (n = 34) in Turkey were compared to home-reared children coming from low (n = 32) and middle socioeconomic backgrounds (n = 44). Theory of mind was assessed with one deception and three false belief tasks; Peabody PVT and Raven CPM were administered to control for language and nonverbal intelligence. Results indicated a context effect whereby home-reared children performed better than...
