Show gestures direct attention to word-object relations in typically developing and Autistic Spectrum Disorder children
Uniting Jimmy and Jackie
The research program described here is based on an approach to doing developmental research that has at its foundation principles of Ecological Psychology set forth by James Gibson and which has its beginnings in the mentorship provided by Eleanor Gibson. The research summarized covers decades of laboratory studies with infants and young children with a focus on three topics: (a) perceiving and responding to an affordance of nontraversability, (b…
The Role of Speech-Gesture Synchrony in Clipping Words From the Speech Stream
How do young infants discover that a segment of the sound stream refers to a particular aspect of the visual world around them? Speakers do not enunciate each word separately, even to infants; rather, whattheysayrunstogether. To relate an object (say, an apple) to its referent, infants must notice the interactant's target of attention (the apple) and at the same time single out the word that refers to it as the other person speaks (Lookattheapple…
Caregivers' gestures direct infant attention during early word learning
How the hands control attention during early word learning
We have proposed that gestures play a significant role in directing infants’ attention during early word learning when caregivers synchronize the saying of a word with a dynamic gesture; this synchronization functions to bring sight and sound together, providing a basis for perceiving them as belonging together (Zukow-Goldring & Rader, 2001). To test this claim, we presented 9–14 month-old infants with videos of speakers using synchronous dynamic…
