Stagnitti, Karen; Paatsch, Louise; Nolan, Andrea; Campbell, Kate – Early Years: An International Journal of Research and Development, 2023
Strong oral language skills are foundational for literacy development and begin before a child enters formal schooling. Oral language development has been related to pretend play abilities in children. Children, particularly those from disadvantaged areas, who enter school with low pretend play levels and oral language abilities, are at risk for…

Zigler, Christina K.; Lucas, Nicole; McFatrich, Molly; Gordon, Kelly L.; Jones, Harrison N.; Berent, Allyson; Panagoulias, Jennifer; Evans, Paula; Reeve, Bryce B. – American Journal on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2023
Communication deficits have a substantial impact on quality of life for individuals with Angelman syndrome (AS) and their families, but limited qualitative work exists to support the necessary content of measures aiming to assess communication for these individuals. Following best practices for concept elicitation studies, we conducted individual…

Sarnecka, Barbara W.; Negen, James; Scalise, Nicole R.; Goldman, Meghan C.; Rouder, Jeffrey N. – Journal of Numerical Cognition, 2023
The authors assessed a battery of number skills in a sample of over 500 preschoolers, including both monolingual and bilingual/ multilingual learners from households at a range of socio-economic levels. Receptive vocabulary was measured in English for all children, and also in Spanish for those who spoke it. The first goal of the study was to…

Aldemir, Hülya; Solís-Campos, Adrián; Saldaña, David; Rodríguez-Ortiz, Isabel R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The development of vocabulary size in deaf/hard of hearing (DHH) children and adolescents can be delayed compared to their peers due to lack of access to early language input. Complementary vocabulary interventions are reported in the literature. Our aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of intervention methods for their vocabulary…

Andrey Vyshedskiy; Edward Khokhlovich – Journal of Developmental and Physical Disabilities, 2023
Parents assessed the development of 12,081 two- to six-year-old children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) quarterly for three years on five subscales: combinatorial receptive language, expressive language, sociability, sensory awareness, and health. Longer duration of time spent with an adult actively involved in the same activity (termed here…

Krista Byers-Heinlein; Ana Maria Gonzalez-Barrero; Esther Schott; Hilary Killam – First Language, 2024
Vocabulary size is a crucial early indicator of language development, for both monolingual and bilingual children. Assessing vocabulary in bilingual children is complex because they learn words in two languages, and there remains significant controversy about how to best measure their vocabulary size, especially in relation to monolinguals. This…

Katherine M. Walton; Alayna R. Borowy; Christopher A. Taylor – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2024
Improving social communication is a frequent goal of early autism services. However, it is unclear whether existing models of social communication align with the perspectives and priorities of key stakeholders, including parents, teachers, and expert clinicians. Stakeholder perspectives on social communication characteristics and priorities for…

Clarence Green; Melania Pantelich; Michael Barrow; Daya Weerasinghe; Rachel Daniel – Australian Review of Applied Linguistics, 2024
There are few published estimates of vocabulary sizes amongst students in tertiary education. Research does not offer estimates of the vocabulary size tertiary students might be expected to possess, though estimates exist for K-12 education, some EFL contexts, and the general population. Such research is important. For reading comprehension during…

Imafuku, Masahiro; Seto, Azusa – Early Child Development and Care, 2022
It has been suggested that children's drawings are associated with their representation ability. However, there is little research on the cognitive basis of drawing in young children. In this study, we investigated the relationship between drawing, language ability, and the presence of imaginary companions (ICs) in children aged between three and…

Oh, Chorong; Morris, Richard J.; Wang, Xianhui – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This review was designed to provide a systematic overview of prosody in people with a primary diagnosis of dementia (PwD) and evaluate the potential use of prosodic features for diagnosis of dementia. Method: A systematic search of five databases was conducted using Medical Subject Headings and keywords. Studies included in the review…

Cychosz, Margaret; Munson, Benjamin; Edwards, Jan R. – Language Learning and Development, 2021
Much research in child speech development suggests that young children coarticulate more than adults. There are multiple, not mutually-exclusive, explanations for this pattern. For example, children may coarticulate more because they are limited by immature motor control. Or they may coarticulate more if they initially represent phonological…

Laher, Zakiyya; Dada, Shakila – Augmentative and Alternative Communication, 2023
Aided language stimulation is an augmented input strategy that facilitates the expressive and receptive language skills of persons who require augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). The aim of this study was to determine and compare the acquisition of receptive vocabulary items during implementation of aided language stimulation with…

Purpose: This study evaluates the extent to which automated indices of vocal development are stable and valid for predicting language in infants at increased familial likelihood for autism and/or language impairment and relatively lower likelihood infants. Method: A group of infants with autistic siblings (Sibs-autism; 20 infants) and a comparison…

Mister, Bianca – English Australia Journal, 2023
Facilitating the transformation of vocabulary from receptive to productive can be challenging for second language (L2) teachers. Although some studies have focused on understanding activities that promote productive vocabulary in written modes (e.g., Teng & Xu, 2022), little is known about the effect of activities on productive vocabulary in…

As early identification of autism improves, there is a critical need for interventions to support the development of social communication skills in toddlers. Caregiver coaching and parental involvement is crucial for improving outcomes and providing children with adequate hours of planned active engagement. This pilot study assessed a 4-week…
