To support and develop these skills effectively an understanding of the key components of oral language is required. We examined the oral language skills of monolingual children in Reception (M[subscript Age] = 57.9 months; n = 126) and Year 1…

Bauer, Kathleen; Morin, Kristi L.; Renz, Theodore E., III; Zungu, Sinenhlanhla – Focus on Autism and Other Developmental Disabilities, 2022
The research on autism spectrum disorder (ASD) disproportionately originates from high-income countries, indicating a disparity of research in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). One possible reason for this disparity is a lack of culturally appropriate screening and diagnostic tools for use in LMIC. Although a number of tools are commonly…

This study investigates the influence of semantic maturation on early lexical development by examining the impact of contextual diversity--known to influence semantic development--on word promotion from receptive to productive vocabularies (i.e., comprehension-expression gap). Study 1 compares the vocabularies of 3685 American-English-speaking…

Smith, Elizabeth G.; Condy, Emma; Anderson, Afrouz; Thurm, Audrey; Manwaring, Stacy S.; Swineford, Lauren; Gandjbakhche, Amir; Redcay, Elizabeth – Developmental Science, 2020
The toddler and preschool years are a time of significant development in both expressive and receptive communication abilities. However, little is known about the neurobiological underpinnings of language development during this period, likely due to difficulties acquiring functional neuroimaging data. Functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS)…

Ollas, Denise; Rautakoski, Pirkko; Nolvi, Saara; Karlsson, Hasse; Karlsson, Linnea – Infant and Child Development, 2020
Temperament is important to consider when investigating factors influencing communicative development in infancy.

The present…

Smolander, Sini; Laasonen, Marja; Arkkila, Eva; Lahti-Nuuttila, Pekka; Kunnari, Sari – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Language exposure is known to be a key factor influencing bilingual vocabulary development in typically developing (TD) children. There is, however, a lack of knowledge in terms of exposure effects in children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and, especially, in interaction with age of onset (AoO) of second language…

Thornton, Emma; Patalay, Praveetha; Matthews, Danielle; Bannard, Colin – Child Development, 2021
Language is vital for social interaction, leading some to suggest early linguistic ability paves the way for good adolescent mental health. The relation between age-5 vocabulary and adolescent internalizing symptoms was examined in two U.K. birth cohorts that are nationally representative in terms of sex, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status: the…

Vermeij, Bernadette A. M.; Wiefferink, Carin H.; Scholte, Ron H. J.; Knoors, Harry – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: There is empirical evidence that a developmental language disorder (DLD) in early childhood leads to behaviour problems. However, it is still not clear how changes in language proficiency in these children influence the presence of behaviour problems. Aims: The aim of this study is to examine if changes in language proficiency are…

Choi, Boin; Wei, Ran; Rowe, Meredith L. – Developmental Psychology, 2021
It is well established that deictic gestures, especially pointing, play an important role in children's language development. However, recent evidence suggests that other types of deictic gestures, specifically show and give gestures, emerge before pointing and are associated with later pointing. In the present study, we examined the development…
