Research project studying the impact of child-produced speech on infant language development through various assessments and play sessions.
Description
The current proposal investigates how a specific aspect of infant’s experiences—speech from young children—shapes language development. Using in-lab tasks, naturalistic play sessions, and longitudinal assessments, the research aims to understand how speech from young children influences infants' language processing and development, especially in relation to older siblings.
