DOI: 10.1037/h0081731Many children in the world grow up learning two or more languages simultaneously from birth. We are currently undertaking a number of studies comparing language development in bilingual and monolingual infants and children. These include a) studies of the brain bases of how bilingual newborn infants separate their two languages from birth; b) studies of speech sound discrimination in bilingual in comparison to monolingual infants; c) studies of word learning in bilingual infants (do they assume that each object can have only one label as monolingual infants do? Or are they more willing to accept two labels for each object?); and, d) studies investigating how knowledge of a heritage language influences spoken language and literacy, at both brain and behavioral levels.
There is continuing debate as to whether speech perception is characterized by critical periods, i.e. windows in development when the perceptual system is most open to experience-based tuning. Recent work suggests that Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA: an inhibitory neurotransmitter) circuit maturation triggers the critical period for visual cortical plasticity, as exemplified by premature onset in mice treated with benzodiazepines. Given that GABA triggers visual cortical plasticity in mice, I am now collaborating with T. Hansch at Harvard University, and T. Oberlander in the Centre for Community Child Health to study the relationship between speech perception in human infants exposed to benzodiazepines and other drugs during prenatal and early pre- and perinatal development, asking whether exposure to these substances changes the timing of perceptual plasticity for speech sounds, and whether differential timing of the onset of plasticity has the cascading effects on subsequent language development. We are now completing writing up the follow-up study with older children.
Studying the link between vocabulary development in infancy and later literacy
Previous work has shown a link between vocabulary development in infancy and later language and literacy. We are now exploring whether this link holds in infants growing up in bilingual homes since bilingual children typically have smaller vocabularies in each of their languages (but as large or larger across both) than monolingual children.
Every day, our researchers work towards breakthroughs to transform the lives of kids in BC and around the world. Learn about our latest innovations and advancements in child health.
Welcome to this month’s Research Roundup, a recurring overview of recent studies published by researchers at BC Children’s Hospital Research Institute (BCCHR) and the University of British Columbia, and their collaborators.
Approximately one in ten pregnant women experience depression. Poorly treated, this serious mental health condition affects the mother’s health and quality of life and can have lifelong consequences for the unborn baby such as behaviour problems, learning disabilities and a higher risk of diabetes and obesity later in life. Anti-depressant medications can successfully treat depression…
At BC Children’s, we are making discoveries that save lives and transform health care for children in our province and around the world. Our research portfolio includes basic, clinical, population, and public health research.
