Adults' number gestures focus children on numeracy
Iconic number gestures: Naturalistic use by children and parents in the early home environment
A growing body of research suggests that children's use and understanding of cardinal number gestures (e.g., raising two fingers to indicate "two") reflect greater cardinal number knowledge than their number words alone (e.g., Butts, 2025; Gibson et al., 2019, 2022; Gunderson et al., 2015; Orrantia et al., 2024; Oswald et al., 2025). The present study adds to these findings by examining how often, and in what contexts, parents and their young chi…
Infants’ Lexical Processing Efficiency is Related to Vocabulary Size by One Year of Age
By 15–18 months, infants’ skill in interpreting familiar words, or lexical processing efficiency ( LPE ), improves substantially and is correlated with vocabulary size concurrently and several months later. Prior to this age LPE is quite poor, and to date there is little evidence that it is related to vocabulary size. If this relation only emerges once infants have relatively good LPE , and also know a substantial number of words, it could sugges…
