“…In addition to changing individuals' ideologies and values system, Narvaez et al (2019) also find that children's early-life experiences are closely associated with wellbeing and development of moral capacities and engaged moral orientation. Specifically, they document that the perception of pain in 2 See Malmendier and Nagel (2011), Callen et al (2014), Kim and Lee (2014), Bucciol and Zarri (2015), Cassar et al (2017) and Zhang (2017).…”

“…Becker (1992) as well as Marquis and Tilcsik (2013) document that children who survive a famine retain the habit of thrift and a more long-term way of thinking into adulthood. More importantly, children's early-life experiences are closely associated with moral capacity development and engaged moral orientation, such as promoting individuals to act more altruistically (Li et al, 2013;Narvaez et al, 2019). Based on the influence of disaster experience on both individual risk attitudes and moral standards, this paper investigates whether executives' early-life disaster experience is associated with higher financial reporting quality.…”

This study investigates the impact of top executives’ Great Chinese Famine experience on firm financial disclosure quality. We find firms led by top executives who experienced the great famine in early life are less likely to conduct fraudulent financial reporting. The famine effect is more pronounced in state‐owned enterprises (SOEs), smaller‐cap, lower‐profitability level firms and firms with weaker external monitoring. Further evidence suggests that top executives with great famine experience show greater tendency to implement secured debt structure, effective internal control and spend less on entertainment and travel costs, which in turn reduce the likelihood of fraudulent financial reporting.

“…Tactile perception plays a pivotal role in the early stages of human development. One of the primary means children use to explore and learn is through tactile experiences (Cascio, 2010 ; Narvaez et al., 2019 ). While understanding tactile processing is relevant to multiple clinical disorders, it is especially critical to investigate developmental disorders in which tactile abnormalities occur and can have substantial effects on everyday activities for children and adolescents, as seen in autism spectrum disorder, attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder, and Tourette's syndrome (Little et al., 2018 ; Panagiotidi et al., 2018 ; Reynolds & Lane, 2009 ; Tomchek & Dunn, 2007 ).…”

Nonlinear age effects in tactile processing from early childhood to adulthood

Background: Tactile processing plays a pivotal role in the early stages of human development; however, little is known about tactile function in young children. An understanding of how tactile processing changes with age from early childhood to adulthood is fundamental in understanding altered tactile experiences in neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism spectrum disorder. Methods:In this cross-sectional study, 142 children and adults aged 3-23 years completed a vibrotactile testing battery consisting of 5 tasks, which rely on different cortical and cognitive mechanisms. The battery was designed to be suitable for testing in young children to investigate how tactile processing changes from early childhood to adulthood. Results:Our results suggest a pattern of rapid, age-related changes in tactile processing toward lower discrimination thresholds (lower discrimination thresholds = greater sensitivity) across early childhood, though we acknowledge limitations with cross-sectional data. Differences in the rate of change across tasks were observed, with tactile performance reaching adult-like levels at a younger age on some tasks compared to others. Conclusions:While it is known that early childhood is a period of profound development including tactile processing, our data provides evidence for subtle differences in the developmental rate of the various underlying cortical, physical, and cognitiveThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

“…This paper has provided detailed findings on the visiting experiences of children in Australia with a family member in prison, shedding light on such experiences before COVID‐19 and, more critically, offering important insights into the implications of the restrictions imposed as a result of the pandemic. As it stands, video visits present a range of possibilities but also challenges, including the impact of digital poverty (Australian Council of Social Services, 2016 ; WHO, 2019 ) and the effects on children of a sustained lack of physical contact with their parent (Narvaez et al, 2019 ).…”

Most of the research examining children visiting a parent in prison indicates that visits have a positive impact on children's well‐being, their connection to the imprisoned parent and the parent themselves. However, the COVID‐19 pandemic brought about a significant change to prison visits worldwide, with limits or bans on face‐to‐face contact. Understanding the experiences and needs of children during this period remains limited. This paper presents the findings of a survey of 84 carers of 184 children across Australia, investigating children's experiences of contact with their imprisoned parent both before and during COVID‐19 restrictions. Although most carers reported maintaining contact during restrictions, a range of difficulties were noted: reduced availability; the effect of prison‐based issues, including lockdowns; and the suitability of video/telephone visits for young children. Some described the benefits of videoconferencing, including reduced travel time and cost, and not needing to take children into a prison environment. Despite this, respondents typically described the negative impact of restrictions, and lack of physical contact, on children's emotional well‐being. Our findings suggest that, for video visiting to be successful, it should be complementary to in‐person visits, tailored to the needs of children, with support offered to families.
