Early language acquisition: cracking the speech code (2004, background): “Social influences on language learning are also seen in studies of speech productio”
Is speech learning 'gated' by the social brain? (2007, background): “Contingency plays a role in human vocalization learning (Bloom, 1975; Bloom & Esposito, 1975; Goldstein et al ., 2003), and in infant cognition (Watson, 1979, 2005).”
Mothers provide differential feedback to infants' prelinguistic sounds (2006, methodology): “Infant vocalizations were coded based on their infraphonological properties (see Goldstein et al., 2003; Oller, 2000).”
Social Feedback to Infants' Babbling Facilitates Rapid Phonological Learning (2008, background): “Data from this study, along with earlier data from our laboratory (Goldstein et al., 2003), show that prelinguistic vocal production is sensitive to social feedback.”
Interpersonal Synchrony: A Survey of Evaluation Methods across Disciplines (2012, background): “perception, the presence of an adult interacting with a child strongly influences learning [45].”
Maternal Responsiveness and the Development of Directed Vocalizing in Social Interactions (2014, background): “We propose that responses to vocalizations produced in social interactions shape the development of pragmatic usage of vocalizations, as has been suggested for phonological development (Goldstein & Schwade, 2008; Goldstein et al., 2003).”
Dynamic Systems Theories (2007, background): “Infants are sensitive to the reactions of caregivers and to their sounds, changing the amount and acoustic form of their babbling in response to changes in the form and timing of their caregivers’ behavior (Goldstein et al., 2003).”
The interactive brain hypothesis (2012, background): “More generally, even very early forms of pro-social behavior, such as the maturing of babies’ vocalizations in terms of syllabic structure and faster consonant-vowel transitions, are shaped by social interaction involving contingent emotional feedback by their carers (Goldstein et al., 2003).”
How Elephants are Opening Doors: Developmental Neuroethology, Attachment and Social Context (2007, background): “…426–436 ª 2007 The Authors Journal compilation ª 2007 Blackwell Verlag, Berlin 427 modalities of smell, taste, touch, vision, and sound and socio-affective interactions form the sensory matrix in which the infant is embedded, and from which the infant learns how to function (Goldstein et al. 2003).”
