Adults and toddlers systematically associate pseudowords such as "bouba" and "kiki" with round and spiky shapes, respectively, a sound symbolic phenomenon known as the "bouba-kiki effect." To date, whether this sound symbolic effect is a property of the infant brain present at birth or is a learned aspect of language…

Kalashnikova, Marina; Escudero, Paola; Kidd, Evan – Developmental Science, 2018
The mutual exclusivity (ME) assumption is proposed to facilitate early word learning by guiding infants to map novel words to novel referents. This study assessed the emergence and use of ME to both disambiguate and retain the meanings of novel words across development in 18-month-old monolingual and bilingual children (Experiment 1; N = 58), and…

Gros-Louis, Julie; West, Meredith J.; King, Andrew P. – Language Learning and Development, 2016
Many studies have documented influences of maternal responsiveness on cognitive and language development. Given the bidirectionality of interactions in caregiver-infant dyads, it is important to understand how infant behavior elicits variable responses. Prior studies have shown that mothers respond differentially to features of prelinguistic…

Gardner-Neblett, Nicole; Henk, Jennifer K.; Vallotton, Claire D.; Rucker, Larra; Chazan-Cohen, Rachel – Journal of Early Childhood Teacher Education, 2021
Although there have been calls in the early childhood field for effective approaches to preparing the workforce to support optimal early child development, there is a gap in understanding how different types of professional development predict teachers' beliefs about children and their self-reported classroom practices. Using the National Survey…

West, Eloise; McCrink, Koleen – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2021
This experiment tests the age at which left-to-right spatial associations found in infancy shift to culture-specific spatial biases in later childhood, for both numerical and non-numerical information. Children ages 1-5 years (N = 320) were tested within an eye-tracking paradigm which required passive viewing of a video portraying a spatial…

Kanji, Amisha; Noorbhai, Wasifah – Infants and Young Children, 2021
This research study aimed to explore the experiences of caregivers of children through the early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) process in the public health care sector in South Africa. A qualitative research design was employed. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 8 caregivers from 3 different levels of service delivery in…

Sequential Bilingualism and Language Impairment: The Persian Version of ALDeQ Parental Questionnaire
Karimijavan, Gelavizh; Ebadi, Abbas; Yadegari, Fariba; Dastjerdi Kazemi, Mehdi; Darouie, Akbar; Karimi, Salah Eddin – Early Child Development and Care, 2021
The aim of this cross-sectional study was to investigate the discriminant validity of the Persian version of Alberta Language Development Questionnaire (ALDeQ) in Turkish-Persian bilingual children, aged 75 months with 19 months of exposure to Persian, on average. The study sample included the parents of 22 bilingual children with language…

Flykt, Marjo Susanna; Lindblom, Jallu; Belt, Ritva; Punamäki, Raija-Leena – Infant and Child Development, 2021
This prospective longitudinal study examined how maternal prenatal substance use disorder (SUD) and early mother-infant interaction quality are associated with child social cognition (emotion recognition and mentalization) at school age. A sample of 52 poly-substance-using mothers receiving early interventions and 50 non-users, along with their…

Albon, Deborah – Ethnography and Education, 2021
Scent matters in the lives of humans (and other living creatures). However, thus far, it is largely unexplored in ethnographic work in education. Drawing on and adding to the literature on 'smellscapes' as a way of conceptualising space, this paper adds new insights into early childhood education and care (ECEC) by reporting on the differentials…

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…

Rems-Smario, Julie – ProQuest LLC, 2021
Implemented in 1998, the original intention of the California Newborn Hearing Screening Program (NHSP) was to provide Deaf babies early language opportunities so they can be successful academically. However, 20 years after the inception of the NHSP, Deaf children continue to be the lowest-performing group of students in public schools. One reason…

Lavelli, Manuela; Carra, Cecilia; Rossi, Germano; Keller, Heidi – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Studies conducted in Western countries document the special role of mother--infant face-to-face exchanges for early emotional development including social smiling. A few cross-cultural studies have shown that the Western pattern of face-to-face communication is absent in traditional rural cultures, without identifying other processes that promote…

Infant Mental Health (IMH) and the Pyramid Model (PM) are two frameworks with an important common goal: supporting the mental health and social-emotional well-being of infants, young children and their families. For the first time ever, one book integrates these two frameworks to create a more effective, knowledgeable, and responsive early…

Bergelson, Elika; Swingley, Daniel – Child Development, 2018
To understand spoken words, listeners must appropriately interpret co-occurring talker characteristics and speech sound content. This ability was tested in 6- to 14-months-olds by measuring their looking to named food and body part images. In the "new talker" condition (n = 90), pictures were named by an unfamiliar voice; in the…

Brydges, Ryan; Fiume, Andrea; Grierson, Lawrence – Advances in Health Sciences Education, 2022
Background: Invention and mastery learning approaches differ in their foundational educational paradigms, proposed mechanisms of learning, and potential impacts on learning outcomes. They also differ in their resource requirements. We explored the relative effects of 'invent and problem-solve, followed by instruction' (PS-I) learning compared to…
