dc.description.abstractThe present study examined the developmental progression of attention to prosodic information in speech (namely word stress) at 4-6, 8, and 12 months of age in both typically­developing infants and infants at risk for developing ASD. Four to six month-olds were tested on their perception of word stress, 8-month-olds were tested on their ability to segment words using stress, and 12-month-olds were tested on their use of stress to map novel words to objects. Infants' language ability was measured at 12 months using a parent report measure of receptive and expressive language and gesture use, which was correlated with performance on each task. While group-level differences were present only at 4-6 months, differential processing of prosody was present within each group. That is, infants who exhibited sensitivity to prosody early in development were also more likely to demonstrate stronger, early language competence at 12 months.
