Childhood Speech Impairment and Dementia Risks Among U.S. Older Adults
International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Speech problems in childhood have profound implications for learning, communication, as well as the development of social and cognitive skills in adulthood. However, research has yet examined how early life speech problems may be associated with subsequent dementia risks in later life.

International Journal of Language &Communication Disorders, Volume 61, Issue 4, July/August 2026.ABSTRACT Background Speech sound disorder (SSD) is broadly defined as difficulty producing speech sounds in childhood. It can have a lasting impact on academic outcomes and well‐being, making effective early intervention vital. Speech and language therapists (SLTs) consider parental involvement—particularly supporting their child with home practice—as ...

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT The prosodic characteristics of a native language greatly influence early language acquisition. Yet, Japanese mothers are known to use a specific prosodic structure in infant‐directed vocabulary (IDV)—specifically, three‐mora, two‐syllable words with a heavy‐light pattern—which, crucially, differs from the standard prosodic rhythm of adult ...

Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT Human newborns are able to discriminate between certain languages but not others. This ability has long been attributed to sensitivity to rhythm—the temporal regularities in speech of different languages. Here, we demonstrate through a series of computational simulations that this discrimination behavior can be achieved using no temporal ...

Keeping an Eye on Looking Measures: Towards More Robust Developmental Methods
Developmental Science, Volume 29, Issue 4, July 2026.ABSTRACT A persistent challenge in experimental developmental psychology is determining which of many possible outcome measures best captures underlying behaviors and processes. In the looking‐while‐listening paradigm for studying early word comprehension, researchers have developed more than 12 distinct outcome measures, but have limited empirical ...
