Children learn language at a far faster pace than adults. One explanation for this learning advantage comes not from differences between children and adults, but from the differences in the way that people talk to children and adults.
A team of rearchers developed a method to experimentally evaluate how parents u what they know about their children’s language when they talk to them. They have found that parents have models of their children’s language knowledge, and u the models to adjust the langua ge they u when speaking to them.
“We have known for years that parents talk to children differently than to other adults in a lot of ways, for example, simplifying their speech and repeating words,” said Daniel Yurovsky, assistant professor in psychology at Carnegie Mellon University. “This helps young kids learn language, but we don’t know whether parents change the way they talk as children are acquiring language.”
Yurovsky adds, “Adults tend to speak to children more slowly. Adults also strengthen their communication with questions to e if children have understood their speech. As the child’s language fluency increas, the ntence structure and complexity ud by adults increas.”
Yurovsky and his team wanted to understand exactly how parents adjusted their interactions to match their child’s speech development. The team developed a game where parents helped their children to pick a certain animal from a t of three. Half of the animals in the matching game were animals children typically learn before age two, and the other half were animals that are typically lear
ned later. The rearchers asked 41 child-adult pairs to play the game. They measured the differences in how parents talked about animals they thought their children knew as compared to tho they thought their children did not know.
The rearchers found that the caregiver ud various techniques to introduce the unknown animal to the child. The most common approach was to u additional descriptors familiar to the child.

A. their own language level
B. the importance of the talk

连续定义C. They asked them to comment on kids’ speech.
