- Disambiguation by Children with Specific Language Impairment: The Effects of Word and Context Factors
- A disambiguation study looks at how a child interprets a speaker's intended use of a word.
- The purpose of the research is to test word and context factors that affect the way children learn names of objects. The information gained by this investigation can lead to a better understanding of how language is learned and how to help children who have difficulties with language.
- The Effect of Morphosyntactic Cues on Toddlers' Verb Comprehension
- A "Looking while Listening" paradigm is used to assess children's comprehension of action words. Toddlers are seated on their parents' laps while viewing side-by-side video clips of children performing actions.
- Sentences are presented with various verb endings - verbs have either the grammatical ending (-ing), an ungrammatical ending (-est), or a nonsense ending (-il). Eye gaze toward the target action video is assessed to determine the children's comprehension.
