Preterm-born children's development: A bioecological perspective

Lisseth Barra et al.

Summary: This review applies Bronfenbrenner's bioecological model of human development to understand the factors that shape the developmental trajectories of preterm infants. It discusses the definitions and relevance of preterm birth from a public health perspective, as well as the neurobiological risk factors for optimal development. The review also explores the influence of psychosocial factors on the development of preterm infants and emphasizes the importance of considering a developmental science perspective in clinical practices and research related to preterm infants.

Semantic Contingency of Maternal Verbal Input Directed at Very Preterm and Full-Term Children

Nicoletta Salerni et al.

Summary: Several studies have shown the importance of responsive linguistic input for children's language acquisition and development. This study specifically examined the use of semantically contingent linguistic input by mothers towards very preterm children compared to full-term children. The results revealed that mothers of full-term children used a higher proportion of semantically contingent utterances and this was associated with the children's more advanced communicative-linguistic outcomes.

Infants' preferences for approachers over repulsers shift between 4 and 8 months of age

Alessandra Geraci et al.

Summary: The study found that 8-month-old infants showed a preference for agents displaying prosocial behavior, while 4-month-old infants did not exhibit this preference. This indicates that infants' evaluation of agents is influenced by social information and reflects their ability to avoid choosing agents involved in unpleasant interactions as partners.

Infant-Directed Speech From a Multidimensional Perspective: The Interplay of Infant Birth Status, Maternal Parenting Stress, and Dyadic Co-regulation on Infant-Directed Speech Linguistic and Pragmatic Features

Maria Spinelli et al.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the linguistic and pragmatic features of infant-directed speech (IDS) during mother-infant interactions at 3 months of age. The results showed few differences in IDS linguistic characteristics between preterm and full-term infants. Additionally, full-term mothers adjusted their IDS pragmatic features based on the quality of co-regulation, while preterm mothers did not. Parenting stress was associated with specific linguistic IDS features regardless of birth status.

Assessing the Quantity and Quality of Language Used by Mothers and Fathers of Children with Down Syndrome During Shared Book Reading

Elizabeth HILVERT et al.

Summary: This study examines the quantity and quality of language input from mothers and fathers during book reading interactions with children with DS. The findings show that mothers are more talkative and use more descriptive language, whereas fathers spend more time reading the book text. Additionally, maternal and paternal input are correlated with different measures of child language, suggesting divergent approaches in language development support.

Keep the Ball Rolling: Sustained Multiturn Conversational Episodes Are Associated With Child Language Ability

Molly Beiting et al.

Summary: This study examined the relationship between interaction quality and child language ability. The findings suggest that child language ability is positively associated with the frequency of multiturn conversational episodes and the number of verbal-nonverbal turns, but not with the number of single verbal turns. It highlights the importance of considering nonverbal contributions to conversation when assessing child language ability.

Where language meets attention: How contingent interactions promote learning

Lillian R. Masek et al.

Summary: The contingent interactions between caregivers and infants are crucial for language learning, with three pathways proposed for how they promote language skills: temporal, semantic, and pragmatic. Attention facilitates interactions, helping infants understand communicative intent, while interactions promote attention, allowing infants to better learn language. This new framework suggests that interactions operate through domain-general skills, establishing a broader foundation for learning.

Neuroplasticity associated with changes in conversational turn-taking following a family-based intervention

Rachel R. Romeo et al.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between children's early language environments and neurodevelopment, finding that family-based intervention can increase conversational turns between adults and children, enhance language and executive functioning, promote cortical thickening, and support children's language development.

Language and socioemotional development in early childhood: The role of conversational turns

Esteban Gomez et al.

Summary: This study found that the language environment (number of conversational turns) at 18 months significantly influences socioemotional competencies at 30 months, and the relationship between conversational turns and emotional competencies is more likely to go from turns to socioemotional development. The study also maintained this correlation even after controlling for other factors.
