Infant attention to audiovisual events and social competence predict childhood temperament
Individual differences in child temperament predict socioemotional skills, academic achievement, and psychopathology in middle to late childhood. However, early predictors of child temperament remain understudied. Here, we investigate the role of multisensory attention skills (sustained attention, intersensory matching, and shifting/disengaging) and social competence in infants and toddlers as early predictors of child temperament (effortful cont…
Intersensory processing of faces and voices at 6 months predicts language outcomes at 18, 24, and 36 months of age
Intersensory processing of social events (e.g., matching sights and sounds of audiovisual speech) is a critical foundation for language development. Two recently developed protocols, the Multisensory Attention Assessment Protocol (MAAP) and the Intersensory Processing Efficiency Protocol (IPEP), assess individual differences in intersensory processing at a sufficiently fine‐grained level for predicting developmental outcomes. Recent research usin…
Effects of English versus Spanish language exposure on basic multisensory attention skills across 3 to 36 months of age
Recent research has demonstrated that individual differences in infant attention to faces and voices of women speaking predict language outcomes in childhood. These findings have been generated using two new audiovisual attention assessments appropriate for infants and young children, the Multisensory Attention Assessment Protocol (MAAP) and the Intersensory Processing Efficiency Protocol (IPEP). The MAAP and IPEP assess three basic attention ski…
Intersensory matching of faces and voices in infancy predicts language outcomes in young children
Parent language input is a well-established predictor of child language development. Multisensory attention skills (MASks; intersensory matching, shifting and sustaining attention to audiovisual speech) are also known to be foundations for language development. However, due to a lack of appropriate measures, individual differences in these skills have received little research focus. A newly established measure, the Multisensory Attention Assessme…
The Multisensory Attention Assessment Protocol (Maap): Characterizing individual differences in multisensory attention skills in infants and children and relations with language and cognition
Multisensory attention skills provide a crucial foundation for early cognitive, social, and language development, yet there are no fine-grained, individual difference measures of these skills appropriate for preverbal children. The Multisensory Attention Assessment Protocol (MAAP) fills this need. In a single video-based protocol requiring no language skills, the MAAP assesses individual differences in three fundamental building blocks of attenti…
Assessing individual differences in the speed and accuracy of intersensory processing in young children: The intersensory processing efficiency protocol
Detecting intersensory redundancy guides cognitive, social, and language development. Yet, researchers lack fine-grained, individual difference measures needed for studying how early intersensory skills lead to later outcomes. The intersensory processing efficiency protocol (IPEP) addresses this need. Across a number of brief trials, participants must find a sound-synchronized visual target event (social, nonsocial) amid five visual distractor ev…
Enhanced attention to speaking faces versus other event types emerges gradually across infancy
The development of attention to dynamic faces versus objects providing synchronous audiovisual versus silent visual stimulation was assessed in a large sample of infants. Maintaining attention to the faces and voices of people speaking is critical for perceptual, cognitive, social, and language development. However, no studies have systematically assessed when, if, or how attention to speaking faces emerges and changes across infancy. Two measure…
Intrasensory Redundancy Facilitates Infant Detection of Tempo: Extending Predictions of the Intersensory Redundancy Hypothesis
Research has demonstrated that intersensory redundancy (stimulation synchronized across multiple senses) is highly salient and facilitates processing of amodal properties in multimodal events, bootstrapping early perceptual development. The present study is the first to extend this central principle of the intersensory redundancy hypothesis ( IRH ) to certain types of intrasensory redundancy (stimulation synchronized within a single sense). Infan…
