Brown; Isabel Soares; Mirjam Oosterman; R. M. Pasco Fearon; Howard Steele; Carla Martins; Ora Aviezer – Child Development, 2024
An individual participant data meta-analysis was conducted to test pre-registered hypotheses about how the configuration of attachment relationships to mothers and fathers predicts children's language competence. Data from seven studies (published between 1985 and 2014) including 719 children (M[subscript age]: 19.84 months; 51% female; 87% White)…

Sarah Coughlan; Jean Quigley; Elizabeth Nixon – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: To investigate the language environments experienced by preterm-born infants, this study compared the linguistic and interactive features of parent--infant conversations involving 2-year-old preterm- and term-born infants. The study also explored how mother-infant and father-infant conversations may be differentially affected by…

Shari DeVeney; Priyanka Chaudhary; Brooke Heyne; John Rech; Danae Dinkel – Infants and Young Children, 2025
Early childhood is a critical period characterized by rapid development of motor and language skills. Reliably assessing motor and language development in early childhood is difficult, and there is a lack of agreement on measurement tool use. This scoping review aims to identify measurement tools used to examine motor and language skills in…

Deserno, Marie K.; Fuhrmann, Delia; Begeer, Sander; Borsboom, Denny; Geurts, Hilde M.; Kievit, Rogier A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
Autism is often associated with early developmental delays in language and motor skills. However, little is known about the complex dynamic processes that drive the co-development of such early difficulties. The aim of the present study was to model the parallel growth of language and motor skills in a cohort of infants and to explore differences…

Davis C. Dyke – ProQuest LLC, 2023
Multiple domains develop simultaneously and interact throughout infancy and early childhood. Although relationships between motor and language skills have been examined cross-sectionally during the first three years of life, little is known regarding the individual factors that influence the development of these domains as well as the relationship…

Nieto, Carmen; Campos, Ruth – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
The development of copying behaviours of a group of infants from 9 to 15 months of age is analysed. These behaviours are classified according to their type (mimetic or imitated) and function (instrumental, social or hybrid). The function of the behaviours is derived from observable indicators linked to dyadic interaction. Mimetic behaviours are…

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…

Gonzalez-Gomez, Nayeli; O'Brien, Frances; Harris, Margaret – Developmental Science, 2021
There is evidence showing that both maturational and environmental factors can impact on later language development. On the one hand, preterm birth has been found to increase the risk of deficits in the preschool and school years. Preterm children show poorer auditory discrimination, reading difficulties, poor vocabulary, less complex expressive…

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…

Hanika, Leslie; Boyer, Wanda – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2019
The authors of this study examined the relationship between motor imitation behaviors and social communication behaviors in 15-18-month-old infants, using a quantitative correlational research design. Imitation behaviors have been shown to be an index of later social cognition and language development, and a critical mechanism in language learning…

Quigley, Jean; Nixon, Elizabeth; Lawson, Sarah – Journal of Child Language, 2019
The objective of this study was to examine the links between prosodic features of paternal Infant-Directed Speech (IDS) and child characteristics. Pitch variability measures were extracted from the speech samples of 50 fathers during unstructured play with their two-year-old children. Evidence for a link between child receptive language ability…

Wang, Boya; Luo, Xia; Yue, Ai; Tang, Lei; Shi, Yaojiang – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
In this study, we investigate the association between family environment and early childhood development among children aged 6-24 months in rural counties in China. To do this, we used cross-sectional data from a large scale survey, including 1809 child-caregiver dyads across 22 nationally designated poverty counties. We found that 53.95% of…

Jiménez, Eva; Hills, Thomas T. – Developmental Psychology, 2023
The present study investigates the relation between language environment and language delay in 63 British-English speaking children (19 typical talkers (TT), 22 late talkers (LT), and 22 late bloomers (LB) aged 13 to 18 months. Families audio recorded daily routines and marked the new words their child produced over a period of 6 months. To…

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…
