“…The first change in accent range is the increase between the points marked b and c . This coincides with the onset of cooing vocalizations, early in the precanonical period, at the age of about 1½ months (Capute, Palmer, Shapiro et al ., 1986). During the subsequent “plateau” from c to d , children typically produce a relatively wide accent range that is comparable in magnitude to adult speech.…”

This article describes the longitudinal development of intonation in 18 deaf children who received cochlear implants (CIs) before the age of three years and 12 infants with typical development (TD) who served as controls. At the time their implants were activated, the children with CIs ranged in age from 9 to 36 months. Cross-group comparisons were made when the children had equivalent amounts of robust hearing experience but different chronological ages. This paper reports the results for the 6-month period ending 9 months after activation of the child’s device for children with CIs, and the 6-month period ending at 12 months of age for TD infants. The findings were compared to a model of early intonation development in children with normal hearing. The results indicated that all groups progressed through 1 or more of the stages predicted by the normative model. At the end of the study period, however, children who had received a cochlear implant later than 24 months reached a more mature stage of intonation development than younger CI-recipients. Moreover, the older CI group reached the same stage of development as the TD infants who had 3 additional months of language listening experience. The findings suggest that the developmental advantage which older children had previously demonstrated shortly after activation of their CIs is maintained throughout most or all of the first year of cochlear implant use.

“…The language quotient was derived from the Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scale, standardized on normal infants aged 1 to 36 months and on infants with disabilities (20-24). Although not a measure of cognition (25), the language quotient derived from the Clinical Linguistic and Auditory Milestone Scale is highly correlated (r = 0.74-0.77), with the Mental Development Index derived from the Bayley Scale of Infant Development (21,26). Full correction for gestational age at birth was used for calculating motor and language quotients for the very low-birthweight group.…”

Although very low-birthweight infants had poorer health and required significantly more health care resources than full-term infants, caregivers' quality of life did not differ between the two groups. Caregivers of both groups of infants reported substantial mental and physical health problems but perceived good quality of life. These data will aid parents, physicians, and policy makers as they struggle to make decisions concerning care of high-risk, costly, very low-birthweight infants.

“…Thus, the observed and inferred stages of normal intonation development reflect two discontinuities in the prelinguistic period: an initial increase in average pitch change at 2 months (Capute et al , 1986; MacNeilage & Davis, 1990) and a sharp decrease at about 10 months (Snow, 2006)…”

“…However, large-scale studies of infant vocalizations have provided a preliminary sketch of f 0 patterns that infants produce during the first weeks and months of life. For example, Capute, Palmer, Shapiro, et al (1986) reported that a significant milestone occurs at about 2 months in association with the onset of cooing. Vocalizations emerging at this stage constitute the beginning of intonation because cooing demonstrates for the first time melody patterns that are relatively adult like and that clearly convey affective states (MacNeilage & Davis, 1990).…”

This study describes the development of emerging intonation in six children who had received a cochlear implant (CI) before the age of three years. At the time their implant was activated, the children ranged in age from 11 to 37 months. Spontaneous longitudinal speech samples were recorded from 30-minute sessions in which the child interacted with his or her mother. Data were collected 2 months before activation of each child's CI and at monthly intervals after activation for 6 months. The findings were compared to the typical pattern of early intonation development in children with normal hearing (NH). The results suggested that young CI recipients progress through stages similar to those observed in children with NH. However, the intonation development of children with a CI reflects a marked interaction between chronological age at implantation and amount of CI experience. That is, after 2 months of CI-assisted hearing experience, the older children demonstrated a later stage of intonation development than younger children. These preliminary results support the idea that children acquire some foundations or prerequisites of intonation production through maturation, as measured by chronological age, even without robust auditory experience.Intonation refers to distinctive patterns of vocal melody (Crystal, 1991;Cruttenden, 1997). The melodies of speech are related to virtually all levels of verbal communication, including emotional expression, pragmatics, and syntactic structure. On the acoustic level, melody patterns result from linguistically significant changes in the fundamental frequency (f 0 ) of the voice. The physiological correlate of f 0 is the rate of vibration of the vocal folds. Finally, on the psychological level, "tone" refers to the functional organization of pitch patterns in the phonological system of speakers and listeners.Recent research in infant speech has supported the hypothesis that intonation is an earlydeveloping system. A strong form of the hypothesis, in fact, suggests that children acquire the intonational system before the onset of meaningful speech (e.g., Locke, 1983). Although this strong claim has not been substantiated to-date, the evidence does suggest that children attain significant milestones in the acquisition of intonation during the first year of life. To investigate the typical stages of intonation development in prelinguistic and early meaningful speech, Snow (2006Snow ( , 2007 studied the production of rising and falling pitch patterns in Englishspeaking children with normal hearing (NH) between the ages of 6 and 23 months. The dependent variable was "accent range," that is, how much pitch changed within a tone contour. When infants consistently produced rising or falling utterance-final tones with a width of pitch change that is comparable to that of older children and adults, this was taken as evidence that the infants had acquired those tones.Contact author: David Snow dps@purdue.edu 765-494-3824.
