New work with @skucker.bsky.social! Screen time isn't just associated with a reduction in children's vocabulary size, but it also relates to the specific types of words they're learn first. More screen time is associated with knowing fewer body part words but more people and furniture words.

Check out our new work in JSLHR where we consider ethical issues in collection of daylong audio recordings in children with language delays and disabilities. This work was part of a bioethics supplement from NIDCD. @dmessinger.bsky.social
Using automated, digital data collection -- e.g., daylong audio recordings of children's language environments -- is yielding important insights for research in CSD. But ethical issues have yet to be thoroughly explored. This study does just that. on.asha.org/45hnjh5

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

"Their findings, published in Developmental Science, show that a higher proportion of shape-based nouns in a child’s vocabulary shortly after cochlear implantation was associated with better language development for the next three years." << wow! From: news.miami.edu/as/stories/2... #keeplistening
Study sheds light on language development in children with hearing loss
University of Miami researchers find a link between early vocabulary composition and later language development in children with cochlear implants.

Check out our new work in Developmental Science! The more shape-based nouns (e.g., chair, cup) children knew shortly after implantation, the better their language outcomes, 1-3 years later.
