Adult Judgments of Age and Linguistic Differences in Infant Vocalization

Olney, Rachel L.; Scholnick, Ellin K.

Journal of Child Language, 3, 2, 145-155, Jun 76

Two studies were conducted, one to judge the relative ages of pairs of vocalizations from Chinese and American infants of varying ages, the other to judge the linguistic community of the vocalizer when age was held constant. Judgments were highly accurate in the first study, but not in the second. (Author/RM)
