Two special sessions (below) dedicated to the acoustics of child-directed speech and the perception of child-directed speech, broadly defined. 20-minute lectures are planned for each session, accompanied by a general poster session and a final panel discussion.
Session descriptions:
(1) "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.
(2) "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.
