  • A Multilab Study of Bilingual Infants

    Open AccessKrista Byers-Heinlein, Angeline Sin Mei Tsui et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Methods and Practices…2021

    From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) than adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet, IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence. This large-scale, multi-site study used the diversity of bilingual infant experiences to explore the impact of different types of linguistic experience on infants' IDS preference. As part of the …

  • The development of gaze following in monolingual and bilingual infants

    Open AccessKrista Byers-Heinlein, Rachel Ka Ying Tsui et al.ARTICLEInfancy2021

    Determining the meanings of words requires language learners to attend to what other people say. However, it behooves a young language learner to simultaneously encode relevant non‐verbal cues, for example, by following the direction of their eye gaze. Sensitivity to cues such as eye gaze might be particularly important for bilingual infants, as they encounter less consistency between words and objects than monolingual infants, and do not always …

  • A multi-lab study of bilingual infants

    From the earliest months of life, infants prefer listening to and learn better from infant-directed speech (IDS) than adult-directed speech (ADS). Yet, IDS differs within communities, across languages, and across cultures, both in form and in prevalence.

  • Quantifying Sources of Variability in Infancy Research Using the Infant-Directed-Speech Preference

    Open AccessMichael C Frank, Katie Alcock et al.ARTICLEAdvances in Methods and Practices…2020

    Psychological scientists have become increasingly concerned with issues related to methodology and replicability, and infancy researchers in particular face specific challenges related to replicability: For example, high-powered studies are difficult to conduct, testing conditions vary across labs, and different labs have access to different infant populations. Addressing these concerns, we report on a large-scale, multisite study aimed at (a) as…

  • The impact of shared book reading on children's language skills

    Open AccessClaire Noble, Giovanni Sala et al.ARTICLEEducational Research Review2019

  • Keeping it simple

    Open AccessClaire Noble, Claire H NOBLE et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2018

    The positive effects of shared book reading on vocabulary and reading development are well attested (e.g., Bus, van Ijzendoorn, & Pellegrini, 1995). However, the role of shared book reading in grammatical development remains unclear. In this study, we conducted a construction-based analysis of caregivers’ child-directed speech during shared book reading and toy play and compared the grammatical profile of the child-directed speech generated durin…

  • Converging and competing cues in the acquisition of syntactic structures

    Open AccessClaire Noble, Faria Iqbal et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2016

    In two studies we use a pointing task to explore developmentally the nature of the knowledge that underlies three- and four-year-old children's ability to assign meaning to the intransitive structure. The results suggest that early in development children are sensitive to a first-noun-as-causal-agent cue and animacy cues when interpreting conjoined agent intransitives. The same children, however, do not appear to rely exclusively on the number of…

  • The semantics of the transitive causative construction

    Open AccessBen Ambridge, Claire Noble et al.ARTICLECognitive Linguistics2014References: 2

    Adults and children aged 3;0–3;6 were presented with ungrammatical NVN uses of intransitive-only verbs (e.g., * Bob laughed Wendy ) and asked – by means of a forced-choice pointing task – to select either a causal construction-meaning interpretation (e.g., ‘Bob made Wendy laugh’) or a non-causal sentence-repair interpretation (e.g., ‘Bob laughed at Wendy’). Both age groups chose casual construction-meaning interpretations on at least 82% of trial…

  • A comparison of book text and Child Directed Speech

    Open AccessThea Cameron-Faulkner, Thea Cameron‐Faulkner et al.ARTICLEFirst Language2013

    This article evaluates the extent to which pre-schoolers’ picture books can be viewed as a form of enriched linguistic input. Twenty best-selling picture books were analysed in terms of syntactic constructions and compared with a sample of Child Directed Speech. The findings of the study demonstrate the prevalence of canonical utterances (i.e. those displaying Subject-Verb (Object) ordering) and Complex constructions within the book sample, both …

  • The Fifteenth-Century Inquisitions Post Mortem

    Michael Hicks, Christine Carpenter et al.BOOKFifteenth-Century Inquisitions…2012

    Essays offering a guide to a vital source for our knowledge of medieval England. The Inquisitions Post Mortem (IPMs) at the National Archives have been described as the single most important source for the study of landed society in later medieval England. Inquisitions were local enquiries into the lands heldby people of some status, in order to discover whatever income and rights were due to the crown on their death, and provide details both of …
