The study of how children develop language skills, from pre-linguistic abilities to word learning.

The field of psychology that focuses on the development of skills that are unique to humans, especially language and social interaction.

The different stages where a child learns to understand and use language, from identifying sounds to combining words into sentences.

The ability of infants to understand and respond to the intentions of others, even before they can speak.

The process of how infants begin to link sounds they hear with specific meanings, leading to their first words.

The ability of language to create and express a limitless range of new words and phrases.

The study of how infants process speech sounds and begin to understand language, before they can speak.

The skills that allow infants to communicate with others before they can actually speak, like gestures and sounds.

The smallest unit of sound that differentiates meaning in a language. For example, 'p' and 'b' are phonemes in English because they distinguish words like 'pat' and 'bat'.

The rhythm and intonation patterns of a language. It involves features like stress, pitch, and pauses.

Infants are able to discriminate between all sounds, even foreign ones, during the first few months of life.

As infants age, their ability to discriminate sounds not present in their native language decreases, while their ability to discriminate sounds from their native language increases.

The statistical analysis infants perform to identify words by tracking how often syllables co-occur within speech.

The ability of infants to recognize words from their language by around 7.5 months old.

The principle that infants are sensitive to the statistical regularities in their language environment, which helps them learn about patterns and structures.

The observation that infants' early babbling initially includes a wide range of sounds, but gradually narrows to focus on sounds from their target language. This is evidence of infants' sensitivity to the phoneme inventory of their language.

A type of speech directed towards babies. It features higher pitch, slower speaking rate, exaggerated intonation, and emphasis on the final words.

A type of speech directed towards adults. It has a lower pitch, faster speaking rate, and less exaggerated intonation.

The ability of infants to recognize and differentiate between meaningful words in a continuous stream of speech.

The process of recognizing and identifying words by their frequency of occurrence in a language.

Using familiar words, like a child's name or "Mommy", to help identify other words in a language.

A study where infants listened to made-up language with repeated sound sequences, demonstrating their ability to extract patterns and identify words.

A study where infants were better at segmenting speech when exposed to IDS than ADS.

The ability of infants to identify and distinguish between different sounds in their native language.

Infants' ability to understand how words are put together to form meaning, like the order of words in a sentence.

Studies conducted in controlled lab settings to examine specific aspects of infant language development.

The challenge of applying findings from controlled lab experiments to the messier realities of infant language learning in everyday life.

The idea that infants are born with predispositions to learn language, like sensitivity to certain sounds or an understanding of basic grammatical principles.

The research area focused on understanding what additional factors contribute to language acquisition beyond the skills infants are born with.

The use of familiar names, like 'Mommy' or 'Daddy,' helps infants segment speech and identify words.

Infants learn to differentiate between native and foreign languages by analyzing the rhythm and prosodic patterns of speech, even before they comprehend the meaning of the words.

The ability of infants to extract statistical regularities from the environment, particularly from language input, allowing them to learn the patterns of their native tongue.

A special style of speech that adults use when talking to infants, characterized by exaggerated intonation, simple vocabulary, and slower pace, which helps infants learn language.

The influence of native language on the production of infant cries, resulting in distinct melodic patterns specific to each language.

The study of how infants learn language, including the development of pre-linguistic skills and early word learning, focusing on the cognitive mechanisms involved.

The ability of human infants to learn rules and patterns underlying language, even before they can speak, suggesting that language is innately programmed in the mind.

Infants initially can discriminate between all sounds, even those not found in their native language. As they are exposed to their native language, they become better at discriminating native sounds while losing the ability to discriminate non-native sounds. This process is called "perceptual narrowing" and helps infants learn their language's sound system.

The foetal auditory system is fully functioning during the last trimester. Newborns prefer their own mother’s voice.
