20.500.12556/RUL-166314 Language development in Slovenian toddlers the role of electronic media, parental knowledge of language development, and parental input Introduction: This study examines the relationships between toddlers' language production, parental language input, media exposure, and parental knowledge of early language development. Methods: We used a unique collection of daylong recordings of Slovenian toddlers (age: 16–30 months, N = 40, 18 girls) to measure the language environment, toddlers' language production and media exposure. In addition, parental reports of toddlers' media exposure and language ability (using the Slovenian adaptation of the CDI) were collected. Results: The results indicate that toddlers' average exposure to electronic media was rather low, with exposure varying widely across the sample. Parental language input was related to various measures of toddlers' language. Parents with a greater knowledge of early language development used more parentese, while their toddlers had less exposure to electronic media. In addition, toddlers' media exposure was related to their age, with older toddlers having more exposure to electronic media, and was marginally related to the number of words spoken by adults and parents' education. No significant relationship was found between toddlers' language ability and media exposure when controlling for toddlers' age. Discussion: The findings underline the importance of parental knowledge about language development and the characteristics of the language environment for toddlers' language ability. media exposure language development parental knowledge and practice vocabulary language input toddlers early childhood development parents jezikovni razvoj izpostavljenost medijem malčki zgodnje otroštvo starši true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-01-07 11:46:09 2025-01-07 11:46:12 2025-01-08 04:00:00 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1-14 Vol. 2 19 Dec. 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 159.922.72 2813-7779 10.3389/fdpys.2024.1463991 221161475 Fekonja_Language_development_in_Slovenian_toddlers_the_role_of_electronic_media,_parental_knowledge_of_language_development,_and_parental_input.pdf Fekonja_Language_development_in_Slovenian_toddlers_the_role_of_electronic_media,_parental_knowledge_of_language_development,_and_parental_input.pdf 1 C4FE354D67195B924E2308F4CAB116CA b5e6c0181c53461e53f6d344f855d6f158e584f5eff3933e72a079a665fc6acc c8ca1802-cce4-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197844 https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/developmental-psychology/articles/10.3389/fdpys.2024.1463991/full 1 e886d89e-cce3-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=197842 Filozofska fakulteta 0 0 0
