title = "Exploring quantitative differences in mothers' and fathers' infant-directed speech to Australian 6-month-olds",
abstract = "Children vary greatly in the rate at which they acquire language in the first years of life. A growing body of research indicates that the quantity of parental speech input significantly influences individual differences in child language development. This study uses the Language Environment Analysis System (LENA) to explore the relationship between the quantity of mothers and fathers speech input and infant language development in a group of Australian infants. Results from 10-14 hour recordings of 11 6-month-old infants reveal that turn-taking quantity is positively related to the quantity of child vocalisations.",
