We examined mothers' verbal responses to their crawling or walking infants' object sharing (i.e. bids). Fifty mothers and their 13-month-olds were observed for 1 hour at home. Infants bid from a stationary position or they bid after carrying the object to their mothers. Mothers responded with affirmations (e.g. "thank you"),…

Dilley, Laura C.; Millett, Amanda L.; McAuley, J. Devin; Bergeson, Tonya R. – Journal of Child Language, 2014
Pronunciation variation is under-studied in infant-directed speech, particularly for consonants. Regressive place assimilation involves a word-final alveolar stop taking the place of articulation of a following word-initial consonant. We investigated pronunciation variation in word-final alveolar stop consonants in storybooks read by forty-eight…

Clearfield, Melissa W.; Jedd, Kelly E. – Infant and Child Development, 2013
The development of visual attention is a key component of cognitive functioning in infancy and childhood. By the time children in poverty reach school, deficits in attention are readily apparent; however, when these attention delays manifest is unknown. The current study tested attention longitudinally at 6, 9 and 12?months in infants from…

Erlich, Nicole; Lipp, Ottmar V.; Slaughter, Virginia – Developmental Science, 2013
Adult humans demonstrate differential processing of stimuli that were recurrent threats to safety and survival throughout evolutionary history. Recent studies suggest that differential processing of evolutionarily ancient threats occurs in human infants, leading to the proposal of an inborn mechanism for rapid identification of, and response to,…

Gerson, Sarah A.; Woodward, Amanda L. – Infancy, 2013
Means-end actions are an early-emerging form of problem solving. These actions require initiating initial behaviors with a goal in mind. In this study, we explored the origins of 8-month-old infants' means-end action production using a cloth-pulling training paradigm. We examined whether highlighting the goal (toy) or the means (cloth) was more…

Freeman, Laura L.; Brewer, Mackenzie – Journal of Applied Research on Children, 2013
This paper reviews the research of the past two decades that addresses the relationship between family structure and early child health outcomes. Specifically, we focus on family structure's influence on child health during pregnancy, birth, and infancy. We briefly summarize the most pervasive changes to family structure in the US during recent…

Esseily, Rana; Rat-Fischer, Lauriane; O'Regan, Kevin; Fagard, Jacqueline – Cognitive Development, 2013
Our aim was to investigate why 16-month-old infants fail to master a novel tool-use action via observational learning. We hypothesized that 16-month-olds' difficulties may be due to not understanding the goal of the observed action. To test this hypothesis, we investigated whether showing infants an explicit demonstration of the goal of the action…

Ma, Weiyi; Zhou, Peng; Golinkoff, Roberta Michnick; Lee, Joanne; Hirsh-Pasek, Kathy – First Language, 2019
The syntactic structure of sentences in which a new word appears may provide listeners with cues to that new word's form class. In English, for example, a noun tends to follow a determiner ("a"/"an"/"the"), while a verb precedes the morphological inflection [ing]. The presence of these markers may assist children in…

Brandaro, Nicola; Stenfert Kroese, Biza – International Journal of Developmental Disabilities, 2019
Objectives: To explore how much people with Asperger's syndrome know and understand about early attachment behaviors and whether this knowledge can be increased through a DVD. Methods: Adults with Asperger's syndrome who were not parents (N = 28) took part in four experimental conditions: Baseline, pre-intervention, post-intervention, and…

Choi, Ji Young; Horm, Diane; Jeon, Shinyoung; Ryu, Dahyung – Early Education and Development, 2019
Research Findings: This study examined whether children's outcomes at age 3 were predicted by their experiences in Early Head Start (EHS), focusing on 2 key features of infant and toddler care: (a) stability of care and (b) teacher--child interactions. This study further explored potential interaction effects between stability of care and…

We examined associations between child body mass index at 2-5 years and maternal pre-pregnancy body mass index, gestational weight gain, and rapid weight gain during infancy in children with autism spectrum disorder, developmental delays, or population controls. The Study to Explore Early Development is a multi-site case-control study of children,…

Dickson, Martina; Tennant, Lilly – Journal of Women and Gender in Higher Education, 2019
The young female university students of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) today are the first generation of women for whom higher education has become not only a possibility but almost an expectation. Young Emirati women today make up around 77% of students in higher education institutions in the country. However, the societal expectations placed…
