Bilingual Learning in Typical and Late Talking Toddlers Ages 2 – 3 Years

Late talking bilingual children have atypically small vocabularies in both their languages, and it is unclear how they leverage the words they know to build their vocabularies from bilingual language input. Therefore, the first goal of this NIH-funded study is to examine how parents talk to their bilingual toddlers. The second goal of this study is to examine whether there are differences in how typical and late-talking toddlers learn words from bilingual input.
