“…These types of parenting differences have been posited as contributing to the higher prevalence of language difficulties in children experiencing adversity (Conger et al., ). Where population studies suggest around six to ten percent of young children have persistent speech, language, and communication needs (Law, Boyle, Harris, Harkness, & Nye, ), the rate increases to around one‐third within cohorts experiencing adversity (Law, Rush, Schoon, & Parsons, ; Ryan, Gibbon, & O'Shea, ).…”

Variations in parenting have been suggested as contributing to a higher prevalence of language difficulties in children experiencing economic, environmental, and social adversity. Within these cohorts, the contribution of responsive and intrusive parenting to child language has been investigated; specific responsive and intrusive behaviors encapsulated within these parenting styles have yet to be fully examined. Additionally, the role of the mother–child dynamic in moderating mother–child associations has also not been explored. This study aimed to augment current research by identifying specific responsive and intrusive maternal behaviors associated with child language in a cohort experiencing adversity, as well as exploring the role of the fluency and connectedness of mother–child conversation in moderating associations (n = 249). Specific behaviors and the fluency and connectedness of the mother–child interaction were coded from free‐play videos at child age 12 months. Child language measures were derived from transcripts of free play at 24 months. Linear regression models were used to examine maternal–child associations. The moderating role of fluency and connectedness was then explored. Maternal imitations were positively associated with the child's total words; successful redirectives were negatively associated with the child's mean length of turn. Both associations were moderated by the fluency and connectedness of the interaction.

“…Within the literature, estimated rates of language difficulties in cohorts of children experiencing adversity have been found to range from 30.5% (ages 3;0-4;11 years) (Ryan, Gibbon, & O'Shea, 2016), to 40% (5;0-12;0 years) (Law et al, 2011) up to 56% (3;0-4;3 years) (Locke, Ginsborg, & Peers, 2002). Moreover, when compared to other child outcomes, language development has been found to be particularly vulnerable to the impact of adversity (Duncan & Brooks-Gunn, 2000).…”

“…That is, the nature of our sample cohort can affect the difference in SD . A recent study (Ryan, Gibbon, & O'shea, 2016) also found that the profile of superior expressive compared with receptive language is apparent in children with language delay and socioeconomic status (SES) factors such as parent–child interaction styles, level of maternal education, maternal sensitivity, income‐to‐needs ratio, and environmental variables may have a greater influence on receptive rather than expressive language. In addition, some data suggest a tendency for speech and language interventions to be more effective to improve expressive than receptive skills (Law, Garrett, & Nye, 2004)—this may be relevant because all of the children in the present study were receiving speech therapy services.…”

This study investigated whether current state‐of‐the‐art deep reasoning network analysis on psychometry‐driven diffusion tractography connectome can accurately predict expressive and receptive language scores in a cohort of young children with persistent language concerns (n = 31, age: 4.25 ± 2.38 years). A dilated convolutional neural network combined with a relational network (dilated CNN + RN) was trained to reason the nonlinear relationship between “dilated CNN features of language network” and “clinically acquired language score”. Three‐fold cross‐validation was then used to compare the Pearson correlation and mean absolute error (MAE) between dilated CNN + RN‐predicted and actual language scores. The dilated CNN + RN outperformed other methods providing the most significant correlation between predicted and actual scores (i.e., Pearson's R/p‐value: 1.00/<.001 and .99/<.001 for expressive and receptive language scores, respectively) and yielding MAE: 0.28 and 0.28 for the same scores. The strength of the relationship suggests elevated probability in the prediction of both expressive and receptive language scores (i.e., 1.00 and 1.00, respectively). Specifically, sparse connectivity not only within the right precentral gyrus but also involving the right caudate had the strongest relationship between deficit in both the expressive and receptive language domains. Subsequent subgroup analyses inferred that the effectiveness of the dilated CNN + RN‐based prediction of language score(s) was independent of time interval (between MRI and language assessment) and age of MRI, suggesting that the dilated CNN + RN using psychometry‐driven diffusion tractography connectome may be useful for prediction of the presence of language disorder, and possibly provide a better understanding of the neurological mechanisms of language deficits in young children.
