  • The Development of Canonical Proportion as a Function of Community, Multilingualism, and Target Language’s Syllable Complexity

    Open AccessKai Jia Tey, Sarah Walker et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2026

    This study investigates the development of canonical proportion (CP), an indicator of speech development, across diverse language and environmental contexts. Using the Speech Maturity Dataset (SMD) comprising 366 children, aged 0;2-6;4, across 10 different languages and cultures, we explore the influence of multilingual exposure, language syllable complexity, and community type (industrialised, non-industrialised) on CP. We find that monolingual …

  • When they just don’t sleep

    Open AccessKimberly Galvez-Ortega, Kristine Marceau et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    In summary, persistent child sleep disruptions were linked to exacerbated caregiver depression across the sample, while acute child sleep disruptions exacerbate caregiver stress within dyads over time. These findings emphasize the importance of addressing child sleep to enhance caregiver wellbeing and has potential relevance for a wide range of neurogenetic syndromes

  • The effects of service dogs for children with autism spectrum disorder and their caregivers

    Open AccessKerri E Rodríguez, Mandy Rispoli et al.ARTICLEFrontiers in Psychiatry2024

    In conclusion, service dogs were found to positively impact sleep behaviors among children with autism, but may not uniformly relate to other areas of child and caregiver wellbeing. Prospective longitudinal designs, larger sample sizes able to detect small effects, and studies that measure sleep using objective methods are needed to build on these findings

  • Statistical power for longitudinal developmental trajectories

    Open AccessSean P Lane, Bridgette L Kelleher et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2023Cited by: 2References: 2

    Recruiting participants for studies of early-life longitudinal development is challenging, often resulting in practical upper bounds in sample size and missing data due to attrition. These factors pose risks for the statistical power of such studies depending on the intended analytic model. One mitigation strategy is to increase measurement precision by conducting assessments of children as close to a fixed chronological age as possible. We prese…

  • Towards Large-Scale Data Annotation of Audio from Wearables

    Chiara Semenzin, Lisa R Hamrick et al.PREPRINT2020

    Recent developments allow the collection of audio data from lightweight wearable devices, potentially enabling us to study language use from everyday life samples. However, extracting useful information from these data is currently impossible with automatized routines, and overly expensive with trained human annotators. We explore a strategy fit to the 21st century, relying on the collaboration of citizen scientists. A large dataset of infant spe…

  • Describing vocalizations in young children

    Chiara Semenzin, Lisa R Hamrick et al.PREPRINT2020

    Purpose:** Recording young children's vocalizations through wearables is a promising method to assess language development. However, accurately and rapidly annotating these files remains challenging. Online crowdsourcing with the collaboration of citizen scientists could be a feasible solution. In this paper, we assess the extent to which citizen scientists' annotations align with those gathered in the lab for recordings collected from young chil…
