Toddlers' language development: Sex differences within social risk.

Abstract: Sex differences in the association between environmental risk and language development were examined in a longitudinal study of 54 high-social-risk families. Measures of the environment included information about family stress and coping, opportunities for cognitive and linguistic stimulation, the nature of learning experiences, and the affective quality of the infant-mother relationship. Despite apparently similar family conditions and early experiences, there were significant sex differences favoring girls o… Show more

“…However, in previous studies (Klengberg et al, 2001;Lin et al, 1999;Quiroga et al, 2011;Santacreu et al, 2010) sex was not related to d2 test scores. This shows that unlike other psychological processes such as language (Fenson et al, 1994;Huttenlocher, Haight, Bryk, Seltzer, & Lyons, 1991;Morisset, Barnard, & Booth, 1995) whose development occurs earlier in girls than in boys, attention seems to develop in a more stable manner over time in healthy children, regardless of sex.…”

“…Similarly, sex differences did not emerge in this study, which is not as unexpected since there are mixed findings with regard to sex differences and vocabulary performance in the literature (Morisset et al, 1995). As a follow-up to these results, an independent sample t-test was conducted using the continuous PLS total combined standardized score as the outcome to examine if the categorization of the PLS score into a dichotomous variable obscured potential differences.…”

“…Because child sex has historically been associated with child language performance with mixed findings (Morisset et al, 1995), we included it as a potential risk factor. Sex of the child was coded 0 for female (45%) and 1 for male (55%).…”

“…Robust effects of biological and social contextual factors such as child gender, temperament, birthweight premature birth, caregiver interactive style, culture, and demographics on multiple specific aspects of language development have also been reported, which may account for some of this variation Goldfield & Snow, 2005;Hart & Risley, 1995;Landry et al, 1997;Massey, 1996;Morisset, Barnard, & Booth, 1995;Spiker et al, 2002).…”
