3-058 - Vocabulary Development in Young Children: Contributions of Child Characteristics, the Learning Environment and Bilingual Language Experience
Sat, April 8, 10:30am to 12:00pm, Austin Convention Center, Meeting Room 5BSession Type: Paper Session
Integrative Statement
These four papers explore how characteristics of the child, the learning environment, and prior vocabulary knowledge predict lexical development. Child characteristics include language processing skill and the child's level of engagement. Learning environment includes specific experiences such as prior exposure to a labeled object, parental characteristics such as maternal responsiveness, and home environment factors such as language and literacy exposure. Prior vocabulary incorporates vocabulary knowledge in each of a bilingual child's two languages. In combination, these papers highlight the complex and multifaceted contributions to vocabulary development across diverse contexts.
