Sensitivity to amplitude envelope rise time in infancy and vocabulary development at 3 years: A significant relationship
(Developmental Science, 2019)
Here we report, for the first time, a relationship between sensitivity to amplitude envelope
rise time in infants and their later vocabulary development. Recent research in auditory
neuroscience has revealed that amplitude ...
Seeing a talking face matters: The relationship between cortical tracking of continuous auditory ‐visual speech and gaze behaviour in infants, children and adults
(ELSEVIER, 2022)
An auditory-visual speech benefit, the benefit that visual speech cues bring to auditory speech perception, is experienced from early on in infancy and continues to be experienced to an increasing degree with age. While ...
A short-form version of the Australian English Communicative Development Inventory
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)
Purpose: The Australian English Communicative Development Inventory (OZI) is a 558-item parent report tool for
assessing language development at 12–30 months. Here, we introduce the short form (OZI-SF), a 100-item, ...
Seeing a talking face matters: Infants' segmentation of continuous auditory-visual speech
(WILEY, 2023)
Visual speech cues from a speaker's talking face aid speech
segmentation in adults, but despite the importance of
speech segmentation in language acquisition, little is known
about the possible influence of visual speech ...
COVID-19 first lockdown as a window into language acquisition: associations between caregiver-child activities and vocabulary gains
(2022)
The COVID-19 pandemic, and the resulting closure of daycare centers worldwide, led to unprecedented
changes in children’s learning environments. This period of increased time at home with
caregivers, with limited access ...
Lexical and Prosodic Pitch Modifications in Cantonese Infant-directed Speech
(Journal of Child Language, 2021)
The functions of acoustic-phonetic modifications in infant-directed speech (IDS) remain a
question: do they specifically serve to facilitate language learning via enhanced phonemic
contrasts (the hyperarticulation ...
Depression and Anxiety in the Postnatal Period: An Examination of Infants' Home Language Environment, Vocalizations, and Expressive Language Abilities
(Child Development, 2020)
This longitudinal study investigated the effects of maternal emotional health concerns, on infants' home language environment, vocalization quantity, and expressive language skills. Mothers and their infants (at 6 and 12 ...
Input quality and speech perception development in bilingual infants' first year of life
(WILEY, 2022)
Individual differences in infants’ native phonological development have been
linked to the quantity and quality of infant-directed
speech (IDS). The effects of
parental and infant bilingualism on this relation in 131 ...
Rhythm discrimination and metronome tapping in 4-year-old children at risk for developmental dyslexia
(Cognitive Development, 2021)
Temporally accurate perception and production of rhythmic patterns are key factors related to
language development and reading acquisition. Here we investigate rhythm discrimination and
rhythm production in children who ...
Prosodic cues in infant-directed speech facilitate young children’s conversational turn predictions
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)
Experienced language users are able to predict when conversational
turns approach completion, which allows them to attend
to and comprehend their interlocutor’s speech while planning
and accurately timing their response. ...
