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, ... -
Acceptance of lexical overlap by monolingual and bilingual toddlers
(International Journal of Bilingualism, 2019)Aims and Objectives: Mutual exclusivity refers to children’s assumption that there are oneto-one correspondences between words and their referents. It is proposed to guide the process of fast-mapping when children encounter ... -
Acoustic features of infant-directed speech to infants with hearing loss
(The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2020)This study investigated the effects of hearing loss and hearing experience on the acoustic features of infant-directed speech (IDS) to infants with hearing loss (HL) compared to controls with normal hearing (NH) matched ... -
Bilingual Infants Readily Orient to Novel Visual Stimuli
(APA, 2023)Bilingualism has been shown to modify infants’ responses in a range of domains. In particular, early bilingual experience is associated with greater flexibility and openness in infant perception and learning. In this study, ... -
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 ... -
Delayed development of phonological constancy in toddlers at family risk for dyslexia
(Infant Behavior and Development, 2019)Phonological constancy refers to infants’ ability to disregard variations in the phonetic realisation of speech sounds that do not indicate lexical contrast, e.g., when listening to accented speech. In typically-developing ... -
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 ... -
Effects of maternal depression on maternal responsiveness and infants’ expressive language abilities
(PLOS, 2023)High levels of maternal responsiveness are associated with healthy cognitive and emotional development in infants. However, depression and anxiety can negatively impact individual mothers’ responsiveness levels and ... -
Everyday language input and production in 1001 children from 6 continents
(PNAS, 2023)Language is a universal human ability, acquired readily by young children, who otherwise struggle with many basics of survival. And yet, language ability is variable across individuals. Naturalistic and experimental ... -
Impaired neural entrainment to low frequency amplitude modulations in English-speaking children with dyslexia or dyslexia and DLD
(ELSEVIER, 2023)Neural synchronization to amplitude-modulated noise at three frequencies (2 Hz, 5 Hz, 8 Hz) thought to be important for syllable perception was investigated in English-speaking school-aged children. The theoretically-important ... -
Infants use phonetic detail in speech perception and word learning when detail is easy to perceive
(Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2020)Infants successfully discriminate speech sound contrasts that belong to their native language’s phonemic inventory in auditory-only paradigms, but they encounter difficulties in distinguishing the same contrasts in the ... -
Infants’ Sensitivity to Lexical Tone and Word Stress in Their First Year: A Thai and English Cross- Language Study
(Taylor & Francis, 2022)Non-tone language infants’ native language recognition is based first on supra-segmental then segmental cues, but this trajectory is unknown for tone-language infants. This study investigated non-tone (English) and ... -
Infant‐directed speech to infants at risk for dyslexia: A novel cross‐dyad design
(Wiley, 2020)When mothers speak to infants at risk for developmental dyslexia, they do not hyperarticulate vowels in their infant‐directed speech (IDS). Here, we used an innovative cross‐dyad design to investigate whether the absence ... -
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 ... -
Integrating Bilingualism, Verbal Fluency, and Executive Functioning across the Lifespan
(Journal of Cognition and Development, 2019)Bilingual experience has an impact on an individual’s linguistic processing and general cognitive abilities. The relation between these linguistic and non-linguistic domains, in turn, is mediated by individual linguistic ... -
Language development in infants with hearing loss: Benefits of infant-directed speech
(ELSEVIER, 2022)The majority of infants with permanent congenital hearing loss fall significantly behind their normal hearing peers in the development of receptive and expressive oral communication skills. Independent of any prosthetic ... -
Language specificity in cortical tracking of speech rhythm at the mora, syllable, and foot levels
(NATURE, 2022)Recent research shows that adults’ neural oscillations track the rhythm of the speech signal. However, the extent to which this tracking is driven by the acoustics of the signal, or by language-specific processing remains ... -
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 ... -
Maternal Depression Affects Infants’ Lexical Processing Abilities in the Second Year of Life
(Brain sciences, 2020)Maternal depression and anxiety have been proposed to increase the risk of adverse outcomes of language development in the early years of life. This study investigated the e ects of maternal depression and anxiety on ... -
Novel word learning deficits in infants at family risk for dyslexia
(Dyslexia, 2020)Children of reading age diagnosed with dyslexia show deficits in reading and spelling skills, but early markers of later dyslexia are already present in infancy in auditory processing and phonological domains. Deficits ...
