The purpose of this still running study at the University of Education in Heidelberg, Germany, is the documentation of the development of turn-taking in the parent-child dialogue with normally developing infants and infants who are disabled.
The theoretical basis is anchored in the theory of early dialogues between parents and child and the theory of language acquisition.
The questions posed in this study relate to the development of turn-taking (e.g.):
- what signals do parents/infants send
- how do parents/infants respond
- when do parents/infants refuse to respond
- which differences can be found with the groups
- is there a D.A.D. (Dialogic Acquisition Device)?
The first results focus the vocalisation and dialogic echo.
For the analyis of video, INTERACT including the add-on modules Sequence Analysis and Highlight Movie Creator are used in this study.
The poster, that was presented during the ICIS in Kyoto by Ms Professor Horsch, can be found here.
