{"pk":25811,"title":"Infant Locomotion, the Language Environment, and Language Development:\nA Home Observation Study","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Developmental transitions, such as the onset of walking, are\nassociated with changes in a broad range of domains,\nincluding language development and social interactions. This\nstudy used a full-day home observation recording to compare\nthe language environment of age-matched crawling and\nwalking infants. Central to the study was exploring how the\nlanguage environment related to vocabulary development of\neach locomotor group. Adult words, infant vocalizations, and\nparent-child conversational turn-taking were positively\nassociated with infant vocabulary development, but only for\nwalking infants. These findings provide further evidence for\nthe integrated nature of infant locomotion, language\ndevelopment, and the social and linguistic environment","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"language development; motor development;\nsocial development; word learning; infant-adult interaction"}],"section":"Papers","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9m0219bb","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Eric","middle_name":"A","last_name":"Walle","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Merced","department":""},{"first_name":"Anne","middle_name":"S","last_name":"Warlaumont","name_suffix":"","institution":"University of California, Merced","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2015-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25811/galley/15435/download/"}]}
