Zusammenfassung
Kommunikative Einschränkungen im Jugendalter stellen eine gravierende Barriere zur Teilhabe und Identitätsbildung dar. Der Artikel fasst relevante Störungen der Sprache und des Hörens in dieser vulnerablen Lebensphase zusammen und zeigt an einem Fallbeispiel exemplarisch Herausforderungen und Potenziale in der Praxis mit jugendliche...
Communicative impairments during adolescence pose a serious barrier to participation and personality development. The article summarizes relevant disorders of language and hearing in this vulnerable phase of life. A case study exemplifies challenges and potentials in the clinical practice with adolescent patients.
Rhyme perception is an important predictor for future literacy. Assessing rhyme abilities, however, commonly requires children to make explicit rhyme judgements on single words. Here we explored whether infants already implicitly process rhymes in natural rhyming contexts (child songs) and whether this response correlates with later vocabulary size...
Infants exploit acoustic boundaries to perceptually organize phrases in speech. This prosodic parsing ability is well‐attested and is a cornerstone to the development of speech perception and grammar. However, infants also receive linguistic input in child songs. This study provides evidence that infants parse songs into meaningful phrasal units an...
Children’s songs are a great source for linguistic learning. Here we explore whether children can acquire novel words in a second language by playing a game featuring children’s songs in a playhouse. The playhouse is designed by the Noplica foundation ( www.noplica.nl ) to advance language learning through unsupervised play. We present data from th...
Psychological scientists have become increasingly concerned with issues related to methodology and replicability, and infancy researchers in particular face specific challenges related to replicability: For example, high-powered studies are difficult to conduct, testing conditions vary across labs, and different labs have access to different infant...
Children's songs often contain rhyming words at phrase endings. In this study, we investigated whether infants can already recognize this phonological pattern in songs. Earlier studies using lists of spoken words were equivocal on infants' spontaneous processing of rhymes (Hayes et al., 2000; Jusczyk et al., 1999). Songs, however, constitute an eco...
