  • Thesis Opportunity: Early Mother–Infant Interaction and Toddler Language Development

    Are you interested in how early mother–infant interaction supports later language development? This thesis project investigates how features of early mother–infant vocal interaction, such as the quantity and timing of maternal responses, relate to children’s vocabulary size at age two.

    The central hypothesis is that mothers’ timely responses to infants’ vocalisations may help infants understand the communicative function of language, thereby supporting later language development. The study aims to shed light on why young children differ so much in their early language skills, as these differences can have important implications for later development, academic achievement, and well-being.

    Supervisors:
    Dr Laura Diprossimo & Prof. Dr Joscha Kärtner
