Barton-Hulsey, Andrea; Sevcik, Rose A.; Romski, MaryAnn; Collins, Sara C. – Perspectives of the ASHA Special Interest Groups, 2022
Purpose: Literacy instruction at home and in school, in addition to child speech and language ability, plays an essential role in reading development. The relationship between these factors in children with developmental disabilities during preschool is important to identify and describe in order to develop and test interventions that target…

Colunga, Eliana; Sims, Clare E. – Cognitive Science, 2017
In typical development, word learning goes from slow and laborious to fast and seemingly effortless. Typically developing 2-year-olds seem to intuit the whole range of things in a category from hearing a single instance named--they have word-learning biases. This is not the case for children with relatively small vocabularies ("late…

Margolis, Amy E.; Lee, Sang Han; Peterson, Bradley S.; Beebe, Beatrice – Developmental Psychology, 2019
Prior studies of mother-infant interaction have generally used a variable-centered approach to associate face-to-face communication with psychosocial outcomes. Herein, we use a person-centered approach to identify clusters of infants who exhibit similar behavioral profiles during face-to-face communication with their mothers. Four infant…

Uccelli, Paola; Demir-Lira, Özlem Ece; Rowe, Meredith L.; Levine, Susan; Goldin-Meadow, Susan – Child Development, 2019
This study examines whether children's decontextualized talk--talk about nonpresent events, explanations, or pretend--at 30 months predicts seventh-grade academic language proficiency (age 12). Academic language (AL) refers to the language of school texts. AL proficiency has been identified as an important predictor of adolescent text…

Bergelson, Elika; Amatuni, Andrei; Dailey, Shannon; Koorathota, Sharath; Tor, Shaelise – Developmental Science, 2019
Measurements of infants' quotidian experiences provide critical information about early development. However, the role of sampling methods in providing these measurements is rarely examined. Here we directly compare language input from hour-long video-recordings and daylong audio-recordings within the same group of 44 infants at 6 and 7 months. We…

Janke, Vikki – Journal of Child Language, 2018
Non-obligatory control constructions (NOC) are sentences which contain a non-finite clause with a null subject whose reference is determined pragmatically. Little is known about how children assign reference to these subjects, yet this is important as our current understanding of reference-resolution development is limited to less complex…

Menke, Mandy R. – Journal of Child Language, 2018
Rhotics, particularly the trill, are late acquired sounds in Spanish. Reports of Spanish-English bilingual preschoolers document age-appropriate articulations, but studies do not explore productions once exposure to English increases. This paper reports on the rhotic productions of a cross-sectional sample of 31 Spanish-English bilingual children,…

Obeid, Rita; Brooks, Patricia J. – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2018
Purpose: We aimed to determine whether individual differences in manual dexterity are associated with specific language skills (nonword repetition, receptive vocabulary, and receptive grammar) after controlling for nonverbal abilities (visual-spatial working memory and intelligence). Method: We assessed manual dexterity using the pegboard task and…

Mills, Monique T.; Moore, Leslie C.; Chang, Rong; Kim, Somin; Frick, Bethany – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2021
Purpose: In this mixed-methods study, we address two aims. First, we examine the impact of language variation on the ratings of children's narrative language. Second, we identify participants' ideologies related to narrative language and language variation. Method: Forty adults listened to and rated six Black second-grade children on the quality…

Denman, Deborah; Wilson, Nathan J.; Munro, Natalie; Kim, Jae-Hyun; Speyer, Renée; Cordier, Reinie – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2021
This study investigated speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) perceptions of factors that influence application of a new taxonomy with terminology for describing child language assessment and identified strategies that may facilitate use of taxonomy terminology to collect data on SLP assessment practice. Semi-structured interviews were conducted…

Alt, Mary; Figueroa, Cecilia R.; Mettler, Heidi M.; Evans-Reitz, Nora; Erikson, Jessie A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study examined the efficacy of the Vocabulary Acquisition and Usage for Late Talkers (VAULT) treatment in a version that manipulated the length of clinician utterance in which a target word was presented (dose length). The study also explored ways to characterize treatment responders versus nonresponders. Method: Nineteen primarily…

Jin, Fufen; Schjølberg, Synnve; Eadie, Patricia; Nes, Ragnhild Bang; Røysamb, Espen – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The aims of this study were (a) to examine the relationship between speech intelligibility at the age of 5 years and literacy skills at the age of 8 years, (b) to explore the possible mediating or moderating role of broader language skills at 5 years in the relationship of interest, and (c) to assess whether the potential risk factors…

Shea, Kerry A.; Sellers, Tyra P.; Smith, Sandra G.; Bullock, Andrea J. – Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis, 2020
The World Health Organization identified the promotion of "Nurturing Care Environments" as a global health priority. Responsive caregiving, 1 of 5 domains describing nurturing care, is critical for healthy child development. Relatively little research has evaluated population-level interventions aimed to increase responsive caregiving…

Suzuki, Takaaki; Nomura, Jun – First Language, 2020
Mental state terms are believed to be closely related to the development of Theory of Mind (ToM). This study focuses on mental state verbs (MSVs) and investigates how they are used by Japanese-speaking mother-child dyads compared to their English-speaking counterparts. Analyses of their spontaneous speech from the CHILDES archives show that…

Fais, Laurel; Vatikiotis-Bateson, Eric – Journal of Child Language, 2020
Fourteen-month-old infants are unable to link minimal pair nonsense words with novel objects (Stager & Werker, 1997). Might an adult's productions in a word learning context support minimal pair word-object association in these infants? We recorded a mother interacting with her 24-month-old son, and with her 5-month-old son, producing nonsense…
