Check out our new work in JSLHR where we consider ethical issues in collection of daylong audio recordings in children with language delays and disabilities. This work was part of a bioethics supplement from NIDCD. @dmessinger.bsky.social

"Their findings, published in Developmental Science, show that a higher proportion of shape-based nouns in a child’s vocabulary shortly after cochlear implantation was associated with better language development for the next three years." << wow! From: news.miami.edu/as/stories/2... #keeplistening

Check out our new work in Developmental Science! The more shape-based nouns (e.g., chair, cup) children knew shortly after implantation, the better their language outcomes, 1-3 years later.
