Maternal Emotional Availability Supports Child Communicative Development Regardless of Child Temperament—Findings From the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study
The interplay of emotional availability (EA) and child temperament in association with early language development is understudied. We explored associations between maternal EA and infant communicative development and possible moderations by child temperament. Participants were 151 mother‐child dyads from the FinnBrain Birth Cohort Study. Path models of associations between 8‐month maternal EA and 14‐month communicative development and moderation …
The temporal relationship between speech and manual communicative gesture in children with specific language impairment
This study examined the relationship between word frequency and timing of communicative gestures in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically-developing (TD) children. Nine children with SLI and twelve age-matched TD children produced a narrative after watching an animated cartoon. Redundant gesture-speech pairs were identified and coded for temporal alignment between gesture and speech onset and gesture duration. Word freque…
Do statistical segmentation abilities predict lexical-phonological and lexical-semantic abilities in children with and without SLI
This study tested the predictions of the procedural deficit hypothesis by investigating the relationship between sequential statistical learning and two aspects of lexical ability, lexical-phonological and lexical-semantic, in children with and without specific language impairment (SLI). Participants included forty children (ages 8;5–12;3), twenty children with SLI and twenty with typical development. Children completed Saffran's statistical word…
Gesture–speech integration in narrative
Speakers sometimes express information in gestures that they do not express in speech. In this research, we developed a system that could be used to assess the redundancy of gesture and speech in a narrative task. We then applied this system to examine whether children and adults produce non-redundant gesture–speech combinations at similar rates. The coding system was developed based on a sample of 30 children. A crucial feature of the system is …
