Q

What is longitudinal research design?

A

Observe the same infant over an extended period of time

18
Q

Cross sectional research design?

A

Collects data simultaneously from separate groups that infants who represent the different developmental ages of interest

19
Q

Single -Subject experimental design

A

Interest in how infant behavior might be influenced by certain factors

20
Q

Prelinguistic communication

What are the three stages of prelinguistic communication

A
  • Perlocutionary Stages
  • illocutionary Stages
  • Locutionary stages
21
Q

Prelinguistic communication

What is Perlocutionary stage?

A

A phase in which communication is based primarily on caregivers interpretation infants’ behavior

22
Q

Prelinguistic communication

Illocutionary stage

A

Intentions are signal, emerges during the second half of the first year

23
Q

Prelinguistic communication

Locutionary Stage

A

The use of words to express intentions, to emerge around the first birthday

24
Q

Mutual gaze

A

Intensified focus on the partner’s eyes, what some might call “Eye lock”

25
Q

Gaze coupling

A

Alternating, almost flirtatious pattern. It takes on the character of a conversation, with each partner alternately looking at the other, looking away, and looking back

26
Q

Deictic gaze

A

Q

Examples of Motherese

A

Refers to speech with several characteristic features directed at infants by adults and even older children

  • Utterances are produced in closer proximity when infant is attending
  • Utterances are produced at a higher pitch
  • Utterances are produced with greater pitch fluctuations
  • Utterances are produced at a slower rate
  • Utterances are produced with more and longer pauses
  • Utterances are simpler in construction
  • Utterances are produced more fluently and clearly
  • Utterances are based on smaller, restricted set of words
  • Words are frequently nouns for concrete objects
  • Words generally referred to objects or events in the here and now
30
Q

34
Q

Dialogue ( Turn taking)

Speech extended between at least two persons

35
Q

Protoconversations

A

36
Q

Illocutionary Stage of communication

Intentionality

A

Means that infants behavior is consciously directed toward influencing other persons to act on some object

37
Q

Illocutionary Stage of communication

Protoimperitives

A

Infant gestures that seemed to signal that caregivers should retrieve an object that is of interest

Illocutionary Stage of communication

Protodeclaratives

A

Are more “conversational “in nature, just says the term declarative would suggest. These gestures seem to signal that infants primary goal is to attain their caregivers attention

39
Q

Phonetically consistent forms (PCF)

A
  • First they appear to be “units,” in that they have distinguishable utterance boundaries.
  • Second they can be recognized as reoccurring utterances.
  • Third they are reliably associated with certain situations war circumstances.
  • And finally although they are not recognizable as attempts at true words, their phonetic composition is relatively constant
