Causation is a core feature of human cognition and language. How children learn about intricate causal meanings is yet unresolved. Here, we focus on how children learn verbs that express causation. Such verbs, known as lexical causatives (e.g., break and raise), lack explicit morphosyntactic markers indicating causation, thus requiring that the…

Caroline Gaudreau; Amanda Delgado; Rachel Confair-Jones; Sydney Flambaum; Kathy Hirsh-Pasek; K. Lee Raby; Mary Dozier; Roberta Michnick Golinkoff – Developmental Psychology, 2024
Research suggests foster children are at risk for poor language skills. One intervention, attachment and biobehavioral catch-up (ABC), was shown to successfully improve not only young foster children's attachment to their parents, but also their receptive vocabulary skills (Bernard et al., 2017; Raby et al., 2019). Given that language acquisition…

Song, Xue-Ke; So, Wing-Chee – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2022
Studies of language development in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been primarily focused on the influence of child-based factors such as autism traits, IQ, and initial language skills. Yet the findings of these studies are inconclusive. There has, moreover, been little research compared the relative influences of child-based…
