Direct linkHouston, Derek M. – Child Development Perspectives, 2022
Spoken language outcomes after cochlear implantation are highly variable. Some variance can be attributed to individual characteristics. Research with typically hearing children suggests that the amount of language directed to children may also play a role. However, several moderating factors may complicate the association between language input…

Wilson, Kyra; Frank, Michael C.; Fourtassi, Abdellah – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2023
In order for children to understand and reason about the world in an adult-like fashion, they need to learn that conceptual categories are organized in a hierarchical fashion (e.g., a dog is also an animal).

Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Hoff, Erika; Rowe, Meredith L.; Tamis-LeMonda, Catherine S.; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – Child Development, 2019
Sperry, Sperry, and Miller (2018) aim to debunk what is called the 30-million-word gap by claiming that children from lower income households hear more speech than Hart and Risley ([Hart, B., 1995]) reported.

Farrant, Brad M.; Maybery, Murray T.; Fletcher, Janet – Child Development, 2012
The hypothesis that language plays a role in theory-of-mind (ToM) development is supported by a number of lines of evidence (e.g., H. Lohmann & M. Tomasello, 2003). The current study sought to further investigate the relations between maternal language input, memory for false sentential complements, cognitive flexibility, and the development of…

Zyzik, Eve; Gass, Susan – Bilingualism: Language and Cognition, 2008
The five papers in this issue cover a range of perspectives on the acquisition and use of the Spanish copulas "ser" and "estar" in a variety of contexts, including language contact, bilingual language acquisition, and classroom second language learning. The fact that these papers cite work in this area as far back as the early part of the 20th…
