An individual's early interactions with their environment are thought to be largely passive;
through the early years, the capacity for volitional control develops. Here, we consider: how …

During development we transition from coregulation (where regulatory processes are
shared between child and caregiver) to self‐regulation. Most early coregulatory interactions …

Long-form audio recordings have had a transformational effect on the study of infant
language acquisition by using mobile, unobtrusive devices to gather full-day, real-time data …

Infant-directed singing has unique acoustic characteristics that may allow even very young
infants to respond to the rhythms carried through the caregiver's voice. The goal of this study …

Children learn what words mean from hearing words used across a variety of contexts.
Understanding how different contextual distributions relate to the words young children say …

How do age and the acquisition of independent walking relate to changes in infants'
everyday experiences? We used a novel ecological momentary assessment (EMA) method …

Previous research has suggested that children raised in unpredictable and unresponsive
environments show worse executive control of attention. Here, we leverage recent findings …

The progression from crawling to walking in infancy is associated with changes in infant
language development. One possible explanation for such change is the infant's language …

While naturalistic daylong audio recordings of children's auditory environments have the
potential to reveal key insights about the input children receive and inform our theories of …

During development we transition from co-regulation (where regulatory processes are
shared between child and caregiver) to self-regulation. Most early co-regulatory interactions …
