{ "pk": 49920, "title": "Looking beyond parental reports: systematic biases in early word recognition assessment", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "This study examines convergence between parental reports and behavioral measures in assessing early word knowledge of twenty-eight 14-month-old Korean infants. We compared infants' word recognition patterns with parental reports using full and shorter versions of the Korean MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (MCDI-K). Our analyses revealed three key patterns. First, while parents showed consistent judgment between the full CDI and the target-word checklist, the checklist demonstrated better convergence with eye-tracking measures, which accounted for baseline looking biases. Second, parents' reporting accuracy varied systematically with item difficulty: for early-acquired words, parents showed higher agreement with eye-tracking than for later-acquired words. Third, exploratory analyses suggested a possible asymmetry in word category recognition, with infants showing stronger recognition of nouns than verbs in the eye-tracking task, contrasting with more balanced verb-noun knowledge in parental reports. These findings show that assessment methods capture different aspects of early word knowledge.", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "Psychology; Cognitive development; Language acquisition; Language Comprehension; Eye tracking; Quantitative Behavior" } ], "section": "Papers with Poster Presentation", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/7511s972", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Jun Ho", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Chai", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Sunway University", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Margarethe", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "McDonald", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "University of Kansas", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Eon-Suk", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Ko", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Chosun University", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2025-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/49920/galley/37882/download/" } ] }
