  • Maternal Linguistic Input and Child Language in a Cohort at Risk of Experiencing Social Adversity

    Jodie Smith, Penny Levickis et al.ARTICLELanguage Learning and Development2021

    Specific features of adult linguistic input may play a larger, or smaller role, at different child ages, across different language outcomes, in different cohorts. This prospective, longitudinal study explored associations between the quantity and quality (i.e. diversity and responsiveness) of maternal linguistic input and child language. This study was derived from an Australian population-based intervention trial. Participants were mother–child …

  • The role of joint engagement in the development of language in a community-derived sample of slow-to-talk children

    Open AccessLaura Conway, Penny Levickis et al.ARTICLEJournal of Child Language2018

    We explored whether supported (SJE) or coordinated joint engagement (CJE) between mothers recruited from the community and their 24-month-old children who were slow-to-talk at 18 months old were associated with child language scores at ages 24, 36, and 48 months ( n = 197). We further explored whether SJE or CJE modified the concurrent positive associations between maternal responsive behaviours and language scores. Previous research has shown th…

  • Associations between Maternal Behaviors at 1 Year and Child Language at 2 Years in a Cohort of Women Experiencing Adversity

    Open AccessJodie Smith, Penny Levickis et al.ARTICLEInfancy2018

    Variations in parenting have been suggested as contributing to a higher prevalence of language difficulties in children experiencing economic, environmental, and social adversity. Within these cohorts, the contribution of responsive and intrusive parenting to child language has been investigated; s pecific responsive and intrusive behaviors encapsulated within these parenting styles have yet to be fully examined. Additionally, the role of the mot…

  • Tokens in the Tower: Perceptual Processes and Interaction Dynamics in Academic Settings with ‘Skewed’, ‘Tilted’ and ‘Balanced’ Sex Ratios

    Open AccessMiles Hewstone, Richard J Crisp et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2006Cited by: 2References: 33

    We tested Kanter’s (1977a, 1977b) theory concerning the effects of group proportions (sex ratios) on visibility, polarization and assimilation, using natural groups of women and men in academia. Study 1 compared male-skewed and male-tilted settings and found evidence of greater polarization by minority women than majority men. The only effect of group proportions occurred for perceived dispersion as a measure of assimilation; replicating Brown an…

  • Children's Knowledge of Binding and Coreference: Evidence from Spontaneous Speech

    Paul Bloom, Andrew Bar et al.ARTICLELanguage1994Cited by: 7

    In experiments requiring sentence comprehension, young children sometimes appear to accept coreference in sentences such as Thelma touched her. This has motivated the claim that 4- and 5-year-olds lack knowledge of the principles of binding and coreference. Another option, however, is that the requisite principles are present from the very start and children's poor performance is due to performance factors. We test this claim through a longitudin…
