DeVeney, Shari L.; Kyvelidou, Anastasia; Mather, Paris – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2021
Background and Aims: The purpose of this exploratory study was to expand existing literature on prelinguistic vocalizations by reporting results of the first home-based longitudinal study examining a wide variety of behaviors and characteristics, including early vocalizations, across infants at low and elevated risk of autism spectrum disorder…

Nyberg, Sandra; Rudner, Mary; Mattila, Peter; Heimann, Mikael – First Language, 2021
Mind-mindedness (MM), the parent's propensity to treat their young child as an individual with a mind of their own, has repeatedly been found to be positively associated with subsequent child development outcomes. In the current Swedish study, the first aim was to investigate the main features of MM in this cultural context and the second aim was…

Singh, Leher; Cheng, QiQi; Tan, Seok Hui; Tan, Agnes; Low, Yen Ling – Child Development, 2022
In this study, infant vocabulary development was tracked in a multilingual society (Singapore) within a socioeconomically diverse sample. The sample comprised 1316 infants from 17.4 to 27.7 months (669 females, 647 males; 88% Chinese race, 4% Malay, 4% Indian, and 0.004% mixed-race [4% declined to provide race information]). Children varied in…

Campbell, Erin; Bergelson, Elika – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study sought to (a) characterize the demographic, audiological, and intervention variability in a population of Deaf and Hard of Hearing (DHH) children receiving state services for hearing loss; (b) identify predictors of vocabulary delays; and (c) evaluate factors influencing the success and timing of early identification and…

Younesian, Sharifeh; Eivers, Areana; Shahaeian, Ameneh; Sullivan, Karen; Gilmore, Linda – Journal of Child Language, 2021
Previous research has shown that the quality of mother-child interactions between pre-term children and their mothers tends to be poorer than that of full-term children and their mothers (Forcada-Guex, Pierrehumbert, Borghini, Moessinger & Muller-Nix, 2006). Mothers of pre-term children are less responsive and more intrusive in interactions…

Choi, Boin; Wei, Ran; Rowe, Meredith L. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
It is well established that deictic gestures, especially pointing, play an important role in children's language development. However, recent evidence suggests that other types of deictic gestures, specifically show and give gestures, emerge before pointing and are associated with later pointing. In the present study, we examined the development…

Persici, Valentina; Morelli, Marika; Lavelli, Manuela; Florit, Elena; Guerzoni, Letizia; Cuda, Domenico; Yoshinaga-Itano, Christine; Majorano, Marinella – First Language, 2022
The present study aimed to investigate the communicative characteristics of children with cochlear implants (CIs) and their mothers in interaction, whether and how they differ from those of mother-child dyads with normal hearing, and whether mother and child influence each other over the first year after implantation. Eighteen Italian-speaking…

Bornstein, Marc H.; Henry, Lauren M.; Manian, Nanmathi – Developmental Psychology, 2021
We compared language comprehension and production across the second year of life in children of clinically depressed mothers who later remitted with children of nondepressed mothers. Altogether, 157 mother-child dyads participated: 46 with mothers diagnosed at infant age 5 months as having major, minor, or other depressive disorders who fully…

Borovsky, Arielle – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Toddlerhood is marked by advances in several lexico-semantic skills, including improvements in the size and structure of the lexicon and increased efficiency in lexical processing. This project seeks to delineate how early changes in vocabulary size and vocabulary structure support lexical processing (Experiment 1), and how these three skills…

Sansavini, Alessandra; Zuccarini, Mariagrazia; Gibertoni, Dino; Bello, Arianna; Caselli, Maria Cristina; Corvaglia, Luigi; Guarini, Annalisa – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Wide interindividual variability characterizes language development in the general and at-risk populations of up to 3 years of age. We adopted a complex approach that considers multiple aspects of lexical and grammatical skills to identify language profiles in low-risk preterm and full-term children. We also investigated biological and…

Purpose: Differences in communication development impact long-term outcomes of children with autism. Previous research has identified factors associated with communication in children with autism, but much of the variance in communication skill remains unexplained. It has been proposed that early differences in sensory responsiveness (i.e.,…

Bavin, Edith L.; Sarant, Julia; Prendergast, Luke; Busby, Peter; Leigh, Greg; Peterson, Candida – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: To extend our knowledge about factors influencing early vocabulary development for infants with cochlear implants (CIs), we investigated the impact of positive parenting behaviors (PPBs) from the Indicator of Parent Child Interaction, used in parent-child interactions during everyday activities. Method: Implantation age for the sample…

Han, Mengru; de Jong, Nivja H.; Kager, René – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Previous research indicates that infant-directed speech (IDS) is usually slower than adult-directed speech (ADS) and mothers prefer placing a focused word in isolation or utterance-final position in (English) IDS, which may benefit word learning. This study investigated the speaking rate and word position of IDS in two typologically-distinct…

Abdelwahab, Alshaimaa Gaber Salah; Forbes, Samuel; Cattani, Allegra; Goslin, Jeremy; Floccia, Caroline – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Assessing a child's language in the early years is critical to plan for an early intervention and maximize their learning potential. In a unique pan-Arabic approach to language development, we developed a new Arabic assessment tool, usable by parents and Early Years professionals to screen vocabulary in children between 8 months and 30 months…

Munoz-Chereau, Bernardita; Ang, Lynn; Dockrell, Julie; Outhwaite, Laura; Heffernan, Claire – Journal of Early Childhood Research, 2021
The Sustainable Development Goals mandate that by 2030, all children should have access to quality early child development opportunities, healthcare and pre-primary education. Yet validated measures of ECD in low and middle income countries (LMICs) are rare. To address this gap, a Systematic Review (SR) of measures available to profile the…
