“…Reduplicated babbling, a notable milestone in infant development, typically emerges around 7 or 8 months of age (Fagan, 2009; Mitchell & Kent, 1990; van der Stelt & Koopmans-van Beinum, 1986). Studies of both canonical and reduplicated vocalizations have typically focused on age of onset, using a proportional measure for canonical syllable onset and documented observations of repetitive vocalization for reduplicated babble onset.…”

“…Hearing infants 1 regularly produce characteristic strings of repetitive syllables (e.g., [dadada]) during a peak period in the second half of the first year (Fagan, 2009; Locke, 1993; Mitchell & Kent, 1990; van der Stelt & Koopmans-van Beinum, 1986). These well-noted vocal behaviors emerge around 7 to 8 months of age on average and are widely recognized by parents and non-parents alike.…”

Why repetition? Repetitive babbling, auditory feedback, and cochlear implantation

This study investigated the reduplicated, or repetitive vocalizations of hearing infants and infants with profound hearing loss with and without cochlear implants using a new measure of repetition in order to address questions not only about the effects of cochlear implantation on repetitive babbling, but also the reason that repetitive vocalizations occur at all and why they emerge around 7 to 8 months of age in hearing infants. Participants included 16 infants with profound hearing loss and 27 hearing infants who participated at a mean age of 9.9 months and/or a mean age of 17.7 months. Mean age at cochlear implantation for infants with profound hearing loss was 12.9 months and mean duration of implant use was 4.2 months. Before cochlear implantation, the data show repetitive vocalizations were rare. However, four months after cochlear implant activation, infants with hearing loss produced both repetitive vocalizations, and repetitions per vocalization, at levels commensurate with hearing peers. The results support the hypothesis that repetition emerges as a means of vocal exploration during the time that hearing infants (and infants with cochlear implants) form auditory-motor representations and neural connections between cortical areas active in syllable production and syllable perception, during the transition from nonlinguistic to linguistic vocalization.

“…Recent evidence suggests this proposition to be incorrect. For example, a parallel development for babbling and gross motor milestones of a voluntary character (e.g., axial rolling; van der Stelt & Koopmans-Beinum, 1986) and between the emergence of fine (but not gross) motor and language abilities (Molfese & Betz, 1986) has been found. As for crying, information on the nature of its relationships with other aspects of motor development is lacking.…”

The development of the crying state was studied in 14 infants from 3 to 18 weeks in two situations: the infant alone and in interaction with the mother. A major transformation occurred in the crying state after 3 months, with the appearance of what is termed interrupted fussing, which consists of rapid alternations between fuss sounds and cooing vocalizations. This change was only found in the alone situation. The functional implications of this finding are discussed within the contexts of motor development and the behavioral state concept.

“…This behavior corresponds to babbling, that the authors define as a "repetition or a combination of articulatory movements during one single expiration cycle with interrupted or continued phonation" [52].…”

While there have been great advances in quantification of the genotype of organisms, including full genomes for many species, the quantification of phenotype is at a comparatively primitive stage. Part of the reason is technical difficulty: the phenotype covers a wide range of characteristics, ranging from static morphological features, to dynamic behavior. The latter poses challenges that are in the area of multimedia signal processing. Automated analysis of video and audio recordings of animal and human behavior is a growing area of research, ranging from the behavioral phenotyping of genetically modified mice or drosophila to the study of song learning in birds and speech acquisition in human infants. This paper reviews recent advances and identifies key problems for a range of behavior experiments that use audio and video recording. This research area offers both research challenges and an application domain for advanced multimedia signal processing. There are a number of MMSP tools that now exist which are directly relevant for behavioral quantification, such as speech recognition, video analysis and more recently, wired and wireless sensor networks for surveillance. The research challenge is to adapt these tools and to develop new ones required for studying human and animal behavior in a high throughput manner while minimizing human intervention. In contrast with consumer applications, in the research arena there is less of a penalty for computational complexity, so that algorithmic quality can be maximized through the utilization of larger computational resources that are available to the biomedical researcher.
