幼儿更喜欢儿童指向语（CDS）而不是成人指向语（ADS） （Cooper and Aslin 1990），其结构和韵律特征有助于学习（Thiessen et al., 2005; Graf Estes and Hurley, 2013）。然而，人们对cd韵律的实时动态如何影响幼儿的参与和学习知之甚少。在实验1中，我们通过测量儿童瞳孔大小同步性来评估音调变化的瞬间处理（Kang和Wheatley， 2017）。24- 30个月大的儿童在cd和ADS中听故事，我们发现cd的学生同步性比ADS高。接下来，我们使用分层聚类，从自然cd语料库中发现了4个主要的词级音高轮廓，并识别了轮廓（特别是U形和倒U形轮廓），分别引发了较低和较高的同步性。在实验2中，我们发现孩子们在高同步和低同步的情况下能更好地学习新单词。不…
Young children prefer child-directed speech (CDS) to adult-directed speech (ADS) (Cooper and Aslin 1990), and its structural and prosodic features are known to facilitate learning (Thiessen et al., 2005; Graf Estes and Hurley, 2013). However, little is known about how the real-time dynamics of CDS prosody affect young children’s engagement and learning. In Experiment 1, we evaluated moment-to-moment processing of pitch variation using measures of pupil size synchrony across children (Kang and Wheatley, 2017). 24-to-30-month-old children listened to a story in CDS and ADS, and we found that pupil synchrony was higher for CDS than ADS. Next, using hierarchical clustering, we uncovered 4 main word-level pitch contours from a natural CDS corpus and identified contours (specifically, U- and inverted-U-shaped contours), which elicited lower vs. higher synchrony, respectively. In Experiment 2, we found that children learned novel words better when they were presented in higher- vs. lower-synchrony contours. Impo...
