Thrilled to have contributed to this important special issue.

Do infant vocalizations create learning opportunities for infants in childcare settings? New @Infantstudies paper out today with @CDVallotton demonstrates that childcare teachers simplify their speech when responding to infant vocalizations. 1/4

Building on @ElmlingerSteven et al. (2019) finding with mothers, we find that infant vocalizations also elicit more learnable information from non-parental caregivers in childcare. Infants heard shorter, simpler, and less unique speech after babbling vs non-contingent speech. 2/4

Wonderful to return to an in-person conference for #ICIC2022 in Ottawa, CA to present findings from a new collaboration with @CDVallotton at Michigan State University and @LVC alum Morgan Ernst ’21.
@WDWToday Please thank the sea captain at the Beach Club for us! On Friday he made the end of our trip magical by trading pins with my 6 year-old and pulling a coveted Baymax from his pocket as a parting gift. What a way to end #disneymagic #CastCompliment
