Direct linkBenders, Titia; St. George, Jennifer; Fletcher, Richard – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Although both fathers and mothers speak differently in infant-directed speech (IDS) compared to adult-directed speech (ADS), the acoustic characteristics of present-day paternal IDS are still insufficiently understood. To extend this understanding, 11 fathers and 17 mothers in The Netherlands were recorded interacting with their infant…

Thiele, Maleen; Hepach, Robert; Michel, Christine; Haun, Daniety B. M. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
In direct interactions with others, 9-month-old infants' learning about objects is facilitated when the interaction partner addresses the infant through eye contact before looking toward an object. In this study we investigated whether similar factors promote infants' observational learning from third-party interactions. In Experiment 1,…

Dean, Bethan; O'Carroll, Sinéad; Ginnell, Lorna; Ledsham, Victoria; Telford, Emma; Sparrow, Sarah; Boardman, James P.; Fletcher-Watson, Sue – Infant and Child Development, 2021
Preterm birth is associated with reduced social attention in infancy. Are these early social attention differences linked to later interactive ability? This study draws on a well-characterized preterm cohort in whom we have previously demonstrated a reduced attentional preference for social information in infancy, using eye-tracking. States of…

Davies, Catherine; Hendry, Alexandra; Gibson, Shannon P.; Gliga, Teodora; McGillion, Michelle; Gonzalez-Gomez, Nayeli – Infant and Child Development, 2021
High-quality, centre-based education and care during the early years benefit cognitive development, especially in children from disadvantaged backgrounds. During the COVID-19 pandemic and its associated lockdowns, access to early childhood education and care (ECEC) was disrupted. We investigate how this period affected the developmental advantages…

Williams, Dorinda Silver; Mulrooney, Kathleen – ZERO TO THREE, 2021
This article focuses on the fundamental role that early childhood educators (ECEs) play in the lives of infants and very young children and their families--underscoring the power of early interactions and relationships between infant--toddler and preschool educators and the children in their programs. The authors explore the ECEs' unique roles,…

François, Clément; Rodriguez-Fornells, Antoni; Teixidó, Maria; Agut, Thaïs; Bosch, Laura – Developmental Science, 2021
Recent findings have revealed that very preterm neonates already show the typical brain responses to place of articulation changes in stop consonants, but data on their sensitivity to other types of phonetic changes remain scarce. Here, we examined the impact of 7-8 weeks of extra-uterine life on the automatic processing of syllables in 20 healthy…

Sacrey, Lori-Ann R.; Zwaigenbaum, Lonnie; Bryson, Susan; Brian, Jessica; Smith, Isabel M.; Roberts, Wendy; Szatmari, Peter; Vaillancourt, Tracy; Roncadin, Caroline; Garon, Nancy – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Despite considerable progress in characterizing the early signs of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), more remains to be learned about how symptoms emerge in the first year of life. Parents with a new baby who already had at least one biological child diagnosed with ASD (high-risk) or no family history of ASD (low-risk) completed two measures when…

Di Lorenzo, Renata; Munsters, Nicolette M.; Ward, Emma K.; de Jonge, Maretha; Kemner, Chantal; van den Boomen, Carlijn – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2021
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) show atypical processing of facial expressions. Research with autistic toddlers suggests that abnormalities in processing of spatial frequencies (SFs) contribute to such differences. The current event-related-potential (ERP) study investigated differences between 10-month-old infants with high- and…

Cohen, Julie; Andujar, Paola – ZERO TO THREE, 2021
States need a policy and systems infrastructure that creates a robust continuum of mental health supports and services for infants, young children, and families. One critical element of this continuum is developmentally appropriate diagnosis. "DC:0-5[TM]: Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and…

Harries, V.; Brown, A. – Early Child Development and Care, 2019
The transition to motherhood can be challenging. The baby book market has taken advantage of this, publishing a range of books that suggest adopting strict routines for infant sleep, feeding, and general care. Despite their multi-million sales, their impact has not been established. The aim of this study was to explore the maternal experience of…

Kalashnikova, Marina; Goswami, Usha; Burnham, Denis – Developmental Science, 2018
Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental disorder manifested in deficits in reading and spelling skills that is consistently associated with difficulties in phonological processing. Dyslexia is genetically transmitted, but its manifestation in a particular individual is thought to depend on the interaction of epigenetic and environmental factors. We adopt…

Twomey, Katherine E.; Westermann, Gert – Developmental Science, 2018
Infants are curious learners who drive their own cognitive development by imposing structure on their learning environment as they explore. Understanding the mechanisms by which infants structure their own learning is therefore critical to our understanding of development. Here we propose an explicit mechanism for intrinsically motivated…

Kirby; Bahar Keceli-Kaysili; Tiffany G. Woynaroski – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Early differences in sensory responsiveness may contribute to difficulties with communication among autistic children; however, this theory has not been longitudinally assessed in infants at increased familial versus general population-level likelihood for autism (Sibs-autism vs. Sibs-NA) using a comprehensive battery of sensory responsiveness and…

Cara L. Kelly; Gerilyn Slicker; Jason T. Hustedt – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2024
Supportive early relationships are critical to young children's development. Previous research has focused primarily on aspects of specific parenting practices that impact infants' and toddlers' development. However, additional research is needed for a more nuanced understanding of the relationships among family experiences, parenting behaviors,…

Using a habituation paradigm with a three-switch design, the present study investigated whether 20-month-old French-learning infants use noun and verb morphosyntactic cues to learn novel words in dynamic events differentially when both the agent and the action interpretations are possible. Of particular interest was whether infants' initial…
