Abstract:

The proposed NICHD R03 project will use an existing dataset to investigate language input and child language outcomes contextualized within intergenerational adversity exposure. The proposed project includes two aims: 1) determining the impact of adversity exposure on parent-child linguistic interactions, and 2) examining intergenerational effects on parent-mediated language input and child language outcomes.
