Parent–Child Relations in Western Europe and North America, 1500–Present
Gender Identity, Sexual Orientation, and Eating-Related Pathology in a National Sample of College Students
Refining the Notion of Maturing Out
Objectives. Our aim was to determine if the decrease in drug use disorders with age is attributable to changes in persistence, as implied by the notion of maturing out. Also, we examined the association between role transitions and persistence, recurrence, and new onset of drug use disorders. Methods. We performed secondary analysis of the 2 waves of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions data (baseline assessment 200…
Reliability of self-report of health in juvenile offenders
The aim of the present study was to investigate the accuracy of self-reports of juvenile offenders on physical factors (e.g. sleep difficulties, weight-related behaviours and weight perceptions), health risk behaviours (e.g. alcohol use), trauma history (e.g. physical and sexual abuse) and psychological factors (e.g. anxiety, suicidal and self-harm behaviours). Self-reports obtained via a Health Questionnaire from 242 incarcerated juvenile offend…
A study of relative clauses in Williams syndrome
Despite growing empirical evidence to the contrary, claims continue to be made that the grammar of people with Williams syndrome (WS) is intact. We show that even in a simple elicited imitation task examining the syntax of relative clauses, older children and adults with WS (n = 14, mean age = 17;0 years) only reach the level of typical five-year-old controls. When tested systematically in a number of different laboratories, all aspects of WS lan…

From sentential to discourse functions
Although it has been established that children progressively develop metalinguistic awareness about certain aspects of the linguistic system, nothing is known about their awareness of discourse functions. We distinguish between textual coherence and textual cohesion and present a new methodology for studying children's and adults’ metalinguistic knowledge of the cohesive, discourse‐level properties of spoken language. Discourse‐level properties (…
The social-interactional context of maternal speech to infants
Eight mother-infant pairs were videotaped in a longitudinal study. Analysis of relations between maternal speech and the contiguous nonverbal context revealed that the pattern of close correspondence between conversational topic and context, which had emerged at nine months, persisted at sixteen months, with the majority of changes in topic being in response to an action carried out by the child. A large proportion of maternal utterances continue…
The nonverbal context of mothers' speech to infants
Six infants were videotaped twice between six and ten months of age while engaged in a free play session with their mothers. Division of the mothers' utterances into verbal episodes revealed that for all mothers, the majority of episodes began in response to something done by the child: from session 1 to session 2, the number of episodes initiated by a shift in the child's gaze decreased and the number initiated by a child action increased. Durin…
