On the Binding Problem in Artificial Neural Networks (2020, background): “By the age of eighteen months, young children have acquired the ability to use gestures symbolically to refer to objects or events (Acredolo and Goodwyn, 1988).”
Gesture Paves the Way for Language Development (2005, background): “…referent is more transparent than the arbitrary relation between most words and their referents, gesture can provide children with a temporary way to communicate about objects, allowing them to circumvent difficulties related to producing speech (Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1988; Werner & Kaplan, 1963).”
The Development of Pointing: From Personal Directedness to Interpersonal Direction (2010, unknown): “…Darwin, 1877; Piaget, 1937/1954, 1945/1962, 1936/1963; Preyer, 1890/1973; Stern & Stern, 1909/1999], but there are fewer recent studies using this methodology [e.g., Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1985, 1988; Adolph et al., 2008; Bates, Camaioni, & Volterra, 1976; Canfield, 2007; Zinober & Martlew, 1985].”
The Changing Role of Iconicity in Non-Verbal Symbol Learning: A U-Shaped Trajectory in the Acquisition of Arbitrary Gestures (2004, background): “However, these indexic gestures are more like those that children are learning at these ages (see, e.g., Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1988).”
Enactive intersubjectivity: Participatory sense-making and mutual incorporation (2009, background): “The sharing of intentions is most obvious in preverbal requests for help which are answered by the caregiver, starting at the end of the first year of life (Acredolo and Goodwyn 1988).”
A COGNITIVE/FUNCTIONAL PERSPECTIVE ON THE ACQUISITION OF "CLASSIFIERS" (2003, background): “Linda Acredolo has documented a wide range of symbolic gestures used by prelinguistic infants as young as 11 months, and continuing through the early one-word period (Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1988, 1990, 1992).”
Divergence of verbal expression and embodied knowledge: Evidence from speech and gesture in children with specific language impairment (2001, background): “when they are still limited in their verbal abilities ( Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1988; Bates, 1979; Butcher & Goldin-Meadow, in press).”
Verbal Labels and Gestural Routines in Parental Communication with Young Children (2000, background): “We included these “in-hand” gestures because research by Acredolo and Goodwyn (1988) indicated that many of the (empty-handed) symbolic gestures that infants produce are abstracted from routines originally performed with objects in hand.”
Pointing Toward Two-Word Speech in Young Children (2003, background): “For example, a child might open and close her mouth to represent a fish or flap her hands to represent a bird (Iverson, Capirci, & Caselli, 1994; see also Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1985, 1988; Goodwyn & Acredolo, 1998).”
The Role of Gesture in Bilingual Education: Does Gesture Enhance Learning? (2004, background): “Acredolo and Goodwyn (1988) demonstrated that preverbal children who were taught a gesture system before they could talk proficiently talked much sooner and had greater vocabulary than those who were not taught the system.”
Developing a General Outcome Measure of Growth in the Expressive Communication of Infants and Toddlers (2001, background): “Words in communication appear by about 12 months of age, and begin to first supplement and then supplant gestures and vocalizations (Acredolo & Goodwyn, 1988; Crais & Roberts, 1996).”
