About the Book

A wealth of research on child language has unearthed many novel strategies that parents and interventionists can utilise to enhance word learning prior to infants producing their first words. These developmentally-appropriate strategies are published in scientific journals, however, rendering them largely inaccessible to parents and non-research professionals. This volume presents research findings and practices in an accessible, user-friendly manner. A sizeable percentage of children entering first grade each year show vocabulary delays. However, best practices for enhancing vocabulary focus on children after they talk or exhibit delays. By addressing what it takes to learn words, this volume informs best practices for building vocabulary from the ground up to prevent delays. It enumerates multiple strategies that primary caregivers naturally exhibit during interaction, and strategies isolated from experimental studies. The book also highlights the word learning of bilingual versus monolingual children, and addresses cultural variations.

About the Author :
Lakshmi Gogate has been a dedicated child-language researcher for 25 years. She has edited two books, Multisensory Perception and Communication: Brain, Behaviour, Environment Interaction, and Development in the Early Years and Theoretical and Computational Models of Word Learning: Trends in Psychology and Artificial Intelligence, as well as a journal special-issue (Developmental Neuropsychology). Her 35 peer-reviewed publications include "Maternal object naming is less adapted to preterm infants' than to term infants' word mapping" in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry (2020) and "Invariance detection within an interactive system: A perceptual gateway to language development" in Psychological Review (2010).

Review :
"In this innovative and accessible book, Gogate not only provides an excellent state-of-the-art summary of scientific research, but also provides guidance for parents and educators about how to facilitate language development. The reader will learn how joint attention, gesture, quality and quantity of verbal input, spatial and temporal cues impact word learning. This is a must-read for anyone interested in language development."Diane Poulin-DuboisProfessor of Psychology; Director, Cognitive and Language Development Laboratory; Research Chair in Developmental Cybernetics, Concordia University, Canada"An Interactive Approach to Enhancing Early Word Learning offers comprehensive coverage of the language acquisition process, from a baby's first sounds to a child's increasing skill in negotiating, explaining, and entertaining with language, whether it's with one, two, or many. The book compiles critical findings in the field of language development, from classic and long-standing effects to the most recent findings. Gogate has cleverly illustrated her points with examples from a wide range of experimental and observational studies, including her own observations, an approach that makes this an essential and comprehensive guide to first language acquisition for parents and students alike."Heather BortfeldProfessor and Chair of Psychological Sciences; Professor of Cognitive and Information Sciences; Cunningham Chair in Cognitive Development, University of California, Merced
