Infants temporally coordinate gesture-speech combinations before they produce their first words
This study explores the patterns of gesture and speech combinations from the babbling period to the one-word stage and the temporal alignment between the two modalities. The communicative acts of four Catalan children at 0;11, 1;1, 1;3, 1;5, and 1;7 were gesturally and acoustically analyzed. Results from the analysis of a total of 4,507 communicative acts extracted from approximately 24 h of at...
متن کاملInfants can learn decontextualized words before their first birthday.
Can infants below age 1 year learn words in one context and understand them in another? To investigate this question, two groups of parents trained infants from age 9 months on 8 categories of common objects. A control group received no training.

A head-turn preference paradigm was used to compare infants' interest for familiar words against rare words. Lists of familiar words were auditorily presented to each ...
متن کاملBefore Speech: Cerebral Voice Processing in Infants
In this issue of Neuron, Grossmann et al. provide the first evidence of voice-sensitive regions in the brain of 7-month-old, but not 4-month-old, infants. We discuss the implications of these findings for our understanding of cerebral voice processing in the first months of life.
متن کاملTurkish- and English-speaking children display sensitivity to perceptual context in the referring expressions they produce in speech and gesture.
Speakers choose a particular expression based on many factors, including availability of the referent in the perceptual context. We examined whether, when expressing referents, monolingual English- and Turkish-speaking children: (1) are sensitive to perceptual context, (2) express this sensitivity in language-specific ways, and (3) use co-speech gestures to specify referents that are underspeci...
