Abstract
Global public health organizations such as The World Health Organization and United Nations Children's Fund have prioritized environmental support for infants in their first 1000 days of life, including interventions that target early childhood development (ECD) outcomes. Responsive caregiving practices and interventions that support parents in engaging in them have a positive effect on ECD outcomes. Behavioral research has identified a number of specific caregiver responses that influence infants' early language development, including contingent vocal imitation. This study examined the effects of a brief, asynchronous online parent training using the Cool versus Not Cool™ procedure to teach two mothers and one father to imitate their infants' vocalizations in their natural home settings. All three parents increased the percentage of contingent vocalizations with their infants and positive changes in vocal behavior were observed for all the three infants.
世界卫生组织和联合国儿童基金会等全球公共卫生组织优先考虑在婴儿出生后1000天内为其提供环境支助,包括针对幼儿发展结果的干预措施。支持父母参与的响应性照料做法和干预措施对幼儿发展结果具有积极影响。行为研究已经确定了一些特定的照顾者的反应,影响婴儿的早期语言发展,包括偶然的声音模仿。本研究考察了一个简短的异步在线父母培训的效果,该培训使用Cool versus Not Cool™程序来教两位母亲和一位父亲在自然的家庭环境中模仿婴儿的声音。三位父母都增加了婴儿偶然发声的比例,并且观察到三位婴儿的发声行为都发生了积极的变化。
期刊介绍:
Behavioral Interventions aims to report research and practice involving the utilization of behavioral techniques in the treatment, education, assessment and training of students, clients or patients, as well as training techniques used with staff. Behavioral Interventions publishes: (1) research articles, (2) brief reports (a short report of an innovative technique or intervention that may be less rigorous than a research report), (3) topical literature reviews and discussion articles, (4) book reviews.
