    "title": "More than Words: The Many Ways Extended Discourse\nFacilitates Word Learning",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "Child-directed speech is often temporally organized such that\nsuccessive utterances refer to the same topic. This type of\nextended discourse on the same referent has been shown to\npossess several verbal signatures that could facilitate learning.\nHere, we reveal multiple non-verbal correlates to extended\ndiscourse that could also aid learning. Multimodal analyses of\nextended discourse episodes reveal that during these episodes,\ntoddlers and parents exhibit greater sustained attention on\nobjects, and greater coordination between their behaviors. The\nresults indicate the interconnections between multiple aspects\nof the language-learning environment, and suggest that\nparents’ speech may both shape and be shaped by non-verbal\nprocesses. Implications for understanding how the learning\nenvironment influences development are discussed.",
