Acoustic Phonetic Properties of Infant-and-Child Directed Speech

Studies of the acoustic properties of the speech signal directed to infants and young children, especially how these properties may vary as a function of characteristics of the speaker and addressee, including but not limited to age, communication abilities, and language experience.

 

Perception of Speech Directed Toward Infants and Children

Recent research addressing how infants and children respond to and benefit from infant-directed speech and how this is influenced by diverse factors including, age, language experience, testing methods, and specific properties of this speech register.
