    "title": "The Applications and Limitations of the Burstiness Metric in Investigating the Temporal Distribution of Words in Child-Centered Audio",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "As the use of naturalistic speech data of children's language\nexperiences increases, the temporal dynamics of the speech\nenvironment becomes a more obvious aspect of speech to\ninvestigate. To connect the temporal dynamics in child-\ncentered speech to existing experimental work showing that the\ntemporal presentation of items has measurable effects on\nlearning, it is important to develop measures that quantify\ntemporal patterns in speech. The present work explores one\nsuch measure, the burstiness metric, and investigates word\nburstiness and its relationship with frequency, its behavior\nacross different timescales, and whether it can be used to\nquantify constructs of massed and spaced orders. Our findings\nsuggest that while related, word burstiness is not an index of\nfrequency, that burstiness varies across both words of different\nlexical classes and timescales, and that it does not appropriately\ncapture massed and spaced temporal patterns. We discuss\nimplications for how this measure may be used for child-\ncentered audio.",
