Does early gesture usage contribute alongside oral language to later theory of mind performance and metaphor comprehension? Indications from a longitudinal study with children aged 1–9 years
Longitudinal work has demonstrated both that early gestural skills predict the course of children’s language development and, separately, that language skills are important for the development of theory of mind (ToM) and metaphor comprehension. To extend and connect these findings, the current study explores the contributions of gesture (pointing at 1;0 and iconic gesture comprehension at 3;0) and language skills at 3;0 (productive vocabulary, pr…
Modality switching in children – is there an influence of modality compatibility
Modality switching plays an important role in children’s language processing. During everyday life, especially during school hours, spoken language is often supplemented by visual information, resulting in frequent switching between auditory and visual information processing, as well as between the production of vocal and manual motor responses. Previous studies with adults have shown that modality switching is influenced by modality compatibilit…
Developmental Paths of Pointing for Various Motives in Infants with and without Language Delay
Pointing is one of the first conventional means of communication and infants have various motives for engaging in it such as imperative, declarative, or informative. Little is known about the developmental paths of producing and understanding these different motives. In our longitudinal study ( N = 58) during the second year of life, we experimentally elicited infants' pointing production and comprehension in various settings and under pragmatica…
Decontextualized talk in caregivers’ input to 12-month-old children during structured interaction
Decontextualized talk is assumed to be used only rarely when children are younger than 30 months. Motivated by Bühler's (1934/1999) linguistic theory that describes different dimensions of (de-)contextualization, we provide evidence that this kind of input can already be found in caregivers’ talking to their 12-month-old children. Such early input is characterized by being decontextualized on some dimensions while being grounded in the immediate …

Walking, pointing, talking – the predictive value of early walking and pointing behavior for later language skills
Both walking abilities and pointing gestures in infants are associated with later language skills. Within this longitudinal study we investigate the relationship between walk onset and first observed index-finger points and their respectively predictive value for later language skills. We assume that pointing as a motor as well as a communicative skill is a stronger predictor of later language development than walk onset. Direct observations, par…
The influence of iconic and arbitrary gestures on novel word learning in children with and without SLI
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the role of gestures on novel word learning in preschoolers. In Study 1, 20 children at the average age of 4;9 years were given novel words under 3 conditions: with support of iconic gestures; arbitrary gestures; no gestures, exemplifying a within-subject design. Results indicate scaffolding effects of both types of gestures in comparison to the control condition. No indication of gesture type effects…
