Brief Summary:
The overall objective of this research is to determine whether parentese delivered in the video format Aim 1 and in live interaction Aim 2 facilitates novel word learning in autistic children and to investigate if there are factors that influence the effect of parentese on word learning Aim 3
Detailed Description:
Caregivers frequently use parentese also known as infant-directed speech IDS when speaking to young children Compared to adult registered speech parentese is typically characterized by greater pitch variation longer duration and louder volume Parentese facilitates early language development in typically developing TD children However it remains unknown whether the facilitative effect of parentese on language learning can be generalized to clinical populations such as autistic children given that core autism features eg sensory and social communication differences may interact with how they process and learn from parentese Most autistic children do not reach age-appropriate language ability even if they receive timely early intervention Determining if autistic children can learn language from parentese a common way language input is provided to young children is a critical first step toward understanding whether language input needs to be adjusted to optimize their language development
The overall objective of this research is to determine whether parentese facilitates novel word learning in autistic children and to investigate if the effect of parentese is conditional upon input factors recorded parentese vs live parentese presented in social interaction and child factors extreme responses to auditory input social motivation In Aim 1 the investigators will use a video-based word learning paradigm to determine the effect of recorded parentese on novel word learning in autistic children compared to language-matched TD peers Aim 2 focuses on the effect of live parentese on novel word learning an experimenter will teach children two novel words presented in live parentese or live parentese during social interaction Aim 3 will examine whether child factors extreme responses to auditory input social motivation explain variability in word learning accuracy from recorded parentese and live parentese in the autistic group Childrens extreme responses to auditory input including hyper- and hypo-responsiveness and social motivation will be measured using caregiver questionnaires and will be used to predict word learning accuracy from recorded parentese Aim 1 and live parentese Aim 2 in the autistic group
