“…In contrast to the positive results of the previous studies, Weil and Middleton (2010) studied the effectiveness of an intervention program (It Takes Two to Talk: Hanen Program for Parents) using LENA and found no statistically significant improvements in either adult word counts, conversational turns, or child vocalizations from pre-intervention to post-intervention.…”

The researchers investigated the effects of adult language input on the quantity of language, vocabulary development, and understanding of basic concepts of deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children who used listening and spoken language. Using audio recording and Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) software, the study involved 30 preschool DHH children who used spoken language as their communication modality and 11 typically hearing same-age peers. The children's language and the language spoken to them during all waking hours over a 2-day period (16 hours per day) were recorded and analyzed quantitatively and were compared to the children's performance on the Boehm Test of Basic Concepts and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test. The results highlight the relationship between the quantity of adult language and the language, vocabulary, and basic concept knowledge of DHH preschool children who use listening and spoken language.

“…Both comparative and longitudinal studies measured the effects of treatment. Treatments including traditional speech therapy (Warren et al, 2010), formal established treatment programs such as Hanen's It Takes Two to Talk (Manolson, 1992;Weil & Middleton, 2011), and treatment associated specifically with provision of LENA feedback (Pae et al, 2016;Suskind et al, 2013). The remaining eleven cross-sectional studies often relied on a single day of recording.…”

“…The authors found that the intervention tested produced minimal effects on parent word count and conversational turns between parents and children. However, they found high levels of participant compliance with the method, suggesting that this naturalistic approach could be used to improve future parent interventions based on real behavioral data (Weil & Middleton, 2010).…”

Individuals’ daily behaviors and social interactions play a central role in the diagnosis and treatment of psychological disorders. Despite this, observational ambulatory assessment methods—research methods that allow for direct and passive assessment of individuals’ momentary activities and interactions—have a remarkably scant history in the clinical science field. Prior discussions of ambulatory assessment methods in clinical science have focused on subjective methods (e.g., ecological momentary assessment) and physiological methods (e.g., wearable heart rate monitoring). Comparatively less attention has been dedicated to ambulatory assessment methods that collect objective, relational data about individuals’ social behaviors and their interactions with their momentary environmental contexts. Drawing on extant social-ecological measurement frameworks, this article first provides a conceptual and psychometric rationale for the integration of daily relational data into clinical science research. Next, the nascent research applying such methods to clinical science is reviewed, and priorities for further research organized by the NIH Stage Model for Clinical Science Research are recommended. These data can provide unique information about the social contexts of diverse patient populations; identify social-ecological targets for transdiagnostic, precision, and culturally responsive interventions; and contribute novel data about the effectiveness of established interventions at creating behavioral and relational change.
