美国对移民适应的研究强调居住时间、语言使用、学校所在地以及与移民过程有关的其他因素在决定移民结果方面的重要性。研究还指出，移民及其后代在美国遇到的不同接收环境中的社会经济流动性存在差异。本文将这一模式扩展到幼儿，并探讨了家庭和社区的语言环境如何相互作用，产生差异的发展结果。这些分析依赖于早期儿童纵向研究出生队列（ECLS-B）和2000年美国人口普查的数据。儿童的认知得分因母亲的出生地和家庭语言隔离而有很大差异;这一结果在很大程度上受到语言隔离家庭中儿童生活贫困的可能性更大的影响。社区的语言隔离程度也与认知得分有关，但在美国出生的母亲的孩子中，社区之间的得分差异最大。(C)2012 Elsevier Inc.

Studies of immigrant adaptation in the United States emphasize the importance of duration of residence, language use, location of schooling and other factors related to the migration process in determining outcomes for immigrants. Research also points to the variability of socioeconomic mobility among immigrants and their descendants across receiving contexts encountered in the United States. This paper extends this model to young children and examines how the linguistic environment of the family and the community interact to produce differential developmental outcomes. The analyses rely on data from the Early Childhood Longitudinal Study-Birth Cohort (ECLS-B) and 2000 US Census. Children's cognitive scores vary considerably by mothers' nativity and household linguistic isolation; a result that is largely influenced by the greater likelihood of living in poverty for children in linguistically isolated homes. The level of linguistic isolation in the community is also associated with cognitive scores but the greatest variation in scores across communities occurs among children of US born mothers.
