Anjie Cao; Molly Lewis; Sho Tsuji; Christina Bergmann; Alejandrina Cristia; Michael C. Frank – Developmental Science, 2025
Developmental psychology focuses on how psychological constructs change with age. In cognitive development research, however, the specifics of this emergence is often underspecified. Researchers often provisionally assume linear growth by including chronological age as a predictor in regression models. In this work, we aim to evaluate this…

Hansen, Sarah; Scott, Jessica – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2018
The current study is a systematic review on the available evidence on language development, assessment, challenging behavior, and instruction for children dually diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder and deafness. Results indicate a strong need for additional research in these areas, especially in the areas of evidence-based practices.

Austin, Christy R.; Wanzek, Jeanne; Scammacca, Nancy K.; Vaughn, Sharon; Gesel, Samantha A.; Donegan, Rachel E.; Engelmann, Morgan L. – Exceptional Children, 2019
Empirical studies investigating supplemental reading interventions for students with or at risk for reading disabilities in the early elementary grades have demonstrated a range of effect sizes. Identifying the findings from high-quality research can provide greater certainty of findings related to the effectiveness of supplemental reading…

Fisher, Evelyn L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2017
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the literature on predictors of outcomes among late talkers using systematic review and meta-analysis methods. We sought to answer the question: What factors predict preschool-age expressive-language outcomes among late-talking toddlers? Method: We entered carefully selected search terms into the…

Hjetland, Hanne Næss; Brinchmann, Ellen Irén; Scherer, Ronny; Melby-Lervåg, Monica – Campbell Collaboration, 2017
Knowledge about preschool predictors of later reading comprehension is valuable for several reasons. On a general level, longitudinal studies can aid in generating understanding and causal hypotheses about language and literacy development, both of which are crucial processes in child development. A better understanding of these developmental…

Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S.; Bornstein, Marc H. – New Directions for Child Development, 1993
Reviews research on quantitative and qualitative indexes of play, and relationships between play and language. Finds consistent relationships between duration and level of play throughout early development, and parallel developments in play and language. Indicates that measures of spontaneous activity and habituation in infancy predict…

Bruinsma, Yvonne; Koegel, Robert L.; Koegel, Lynn Kern – Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities Research Reviews, 2004
Preverbal communication and joint attention have long been of interest to researchers and practitioners. Both attending to social partners and sharing attentional focus between objects or events and others precede the onset of a child's first lexicon. In addition, these prelinguistic acts also appear to have important implications with regard to…

Molfese, Victoria J.; Molfese, Dennis L. – Annals of Dyslexia, 2002
A series of studies are reviewed that identify markers in the "event-related potentials" related to differences in the development of language and reading skills. In addition, home environment and other variables that influence the intellectual environment are linked with predictions of language and reading skill development. (Contains…

Storkel, Holly L.; Morrisette, Michele L. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2002
This article highlights the link between lexical and phonological acquisition by considering learning by children beyond the 50-word stage and by applying cognitive models of spoken word processing to development. The effects of lexical and phonological variables on perception, production, and learning are discussed in the context of a…
