Infants’ expectations about gestures and actions in third-party interactions
We investigated 14-month-old infants' expectations toward a third party addressee of communicative gestures and an instrumental action. Infants' eye movements were tracked as they observed a person (the Gesturer) point, direct a palm-up request gesture, or reach toward an object, and another person (the Addressee) respond by grasping it. Infants' looking patterns indicate that when the Gesturer...
متن کاملAbstract rule learning in 11- and 14-month-old infants.
This study tests the hypothesis that distributional information can guide infants in the generalization of word order movement rules at the initial stage of language acquisition. Participants were 11- and 14-month-old infants. Stimuli were sentences in Russian, a language that was unknown to our infants. During training the word order of each sentence was transformed following a consistent patt...
متن کاملImitative Games by 9-, 14-, and 18-Month-Old Infants
Two experiments used a mutual imitation paradigm to assess 9-, 14-, and 18-month-old infants’ developing understanding of intentions in others. In the first study, 1 experimenter imitated the infants’ actions, and another experimenter performed contingent but different actions on an identical toy. From 9 months of age, infants show discrimination between the mimicking and the contingent experim...
متن کامل14-Month-Old Infants Form Novel Word-Spatial Relation Associations.
This study explored 14-month-old infants' ability to form novel word-spatial relation associations. During habituation, infants heard 1 novel word (e.g., teek) while viewing dynamic containment events (i.e., Big Bird placed in a box) and, on other habituation trials, a second novel word (e.g., blick) while viewing dynamic support events (i.e., Big Bird placed on the box). Each novel word was pr...
متن کاملLanguage Discrimination Response Latencies in Two-month-old Infants
There is increasing evidence that infants can discriminate native and non-native speech from an early age. Prosody may be essential to this ability. In this paper, we assess the amount of linguistic information needed by two-month-old infants to recognize whether or not a sentence belongs to their native language. We conducted a cross-linguistic study of French and American 2-month old infants,...
