Caregiver-child dynamics in early language development: The influence of children’s interests and parental input on children’s word learning
(2024-10-30)Active child views of children’s development postulate that children are active participants in their own learning and development, choosing what information and from whom to learn. More recently, research has demonstrated ... -
The role of pragmatics in early word learning
(2024-10-10)Young children show remarkable abilities in learning words from highly ambiguous surroundings. Regardless how many languages they learn, they seem to have no effort in linking a novel word to its correct meaning. ... -
Are words special in early development?
(2023-08-03)In the realm of early development, words have been considered as unique due to their ability to facilitate the formation of physical object categories by highlighting common visual features among them. Nevertheless, ... -
Bagger or Bär? The influence of individual interests on early word learning
(2023-01-03)Young children are remarkable word learners: At the end of the first year of life, typically developing children only produce a handful of words, but their vocabularies grow many times over during the second and third year ... -
Phonological and Semantic Overlap Between Words: Effects on Recognition of Familiar and Recently Acquired Words in Early Childhood
(2022-04-14)Classical research on word recognition describes how when adult participants are presented with pairs of words that share phonemes or belong to the same semantic category, the processing of the second word is facilitated ... -

(2021-03-25)Animals exhibit an astonishing diversity of communicative systems, with substantial variation in both the nature and the number of signals they produce. Variation in communicative complexity has been conceptually and ... -
Novel insights into speech production networks of adults with developmental stuttering as revealed by analyses of speech intention, syllable frequency, and long-term therapy effects
(2021-02-25)Stuttering leads to involuntary disruptions of the speech flow. Stuttering is thought to emerge due to impaired speech planning, initiation, sensorimotor integration or inhibition of speech segments. Previous research has ... -
Learning from reliable and unreliable speakers
(2019-11-21)As a way to bypass the need for the many iterations of individual experiences required for trial and error learning, humans and several non-human animal species have evolved a capacity to rely on information provided by ... -
Deeds not Words? Dynamics in Word and Action Learning during Early Childhood
(2019-10-08)Children grow up in a complex, multimodal environment and need to extract information from this environment to learn about the world. When caregivers interact with their children, they often use words and actions concurrently, ... -
Exploring Early Language Acquisition from Different Kinds of Input: The Role of Attention
(2017-10-16)While most research on infant word segmentation has investigated the extraction of words from fluent speech in standard laboratory settings, the series of experiments in this dissertation examined the role of different ...
