Beyond enriching people's lives, these innovations are the result of public investments in science and engineering made by the NSF. The National Science Foundation is seeking a candidate for a Program Director position in the Perception, Action and Cognition Program within Division of Behavioral and Cognitive Sciences (BCS), Directorate for Social and Behavioral Sciences, Arlington, VA. BCS supports research to develop and advance scientific knowledge focusing on human cognition, language, social behavior and culture, as well as research on the interactions between human societies and the physical environment. The Perception, Action & Cognition Program promotes scientific research on basic cognitive and perceptual processes involved in human vision, memory, language, and action. The program solicits research proposals of theoretical importance in all substantive and theoretical subfields within the discipline of Cognitive and Psychological Sciences. Ideally, the candidate would have knowledge in high-level cognition such as memory, categorization, and concept formation.

There are two possible ways in which this can be done. The first is fro the author to simply post the article directly on GoogleGroups. You can do this by clickling on the "Files" button on the right of the GoogleGroups interface and then uploading your file directly. Info-CHILDES is given 100MB of space and currently none of this is being used. I had recommended this method to Marie Hoejholt, but I guess she did not want to make the article generally available. If the author does not wish to post the article, it is, of course, fine for individuals to request the article from the author. However, when doing this, it is better to write directly to the author, rather than posting your message to the list. If you look at the top of an email message, you will see the sender's address. For example, Marie Hoejholt's email address is mariehojholt at stofanet.dk.

On my system, which is outlook express, on the incoming message, I see on the header: info-childes at google.com on behalf of Brian Macwhinney (or whoever posted the message) It's not so obvious that you have to click on Brian's name to reveal the actual e-mail address which is hyperlinked. It seems that to send just to Brian, you have to copy this address and create a new e-mail and paste this address onto it. It does not seem that you can write to the individual by doing a "reply" and then just choosing Brian, because his name doesn't show up on the reply function, only on the incoming e-mail. It's a bit ungainly, but doable if you figure that not everyone needs to see your response.

However, I would agree that the way in which the IRB implements this requirement could indeed be handled in a more flexible way. For example, they could let you list the schools with which you plan to work and then make approval for work with that school contingent upon receipt at the IRB office of a letter from the specific school. This would avoid the need for an amendment in each case and should cut down on delays.

Where you ended up is a common arrangement here. That is, you can have the research approved in general but you are required to submit an amendment once you have the specific permission from the schools. I agree in general that this is a pain of a complication -- I've never worked in a preschool without talking to the director first and I can't imagine how one would get access to the recruitment process (let alone running the subjects!) without the positive good will of someone in the school administration. >From the IRB's perspective, though, they want to be sure that you're doing things right. Just as importantly, they want the name of someone there in case there are any issues that come up, such as a parent who complains about what's going on. And, since you are going to be talking to the director anyway, it's not really a big deal to get a letter from them (I often just write the letter for them and get them to sign it). The biggest pain is the time lag: I agree that having to wait 3 weeks is just terrible. If you're planning on talking to your IRB, talk about this part because it's the only thing they can likely do much about. What Brian suggests might work, and would require only that a member of the IRB's bureaucratic staff review the letter (as opposed to getting a full member of the board).

Investigators are allowed to start research at schools from which they have obtained permission already (after IRB approval) even if they are waiting to hear back from other schools. One thing to note is that we require permission from the Superintendent of the school district and the principal of each school to prevent any arguments between the two.

Recent work in a variety of linguistic frameworks has shown remarkable similarities between children acquiring a nonnative language (L2) and children diagnosed with Specific Language Impairment (SLI): Similar grammatical phenomena appear to be vulnerable in both cases. The aim of this panel is to bring together researchers working on child L2 and SLI in different languages within a linguistic framework, in order to address and discuss questions such as the following: - To what extent are similarities/differences between child L2 and SLI observed crosslinguistically? - What domains of the grammar seem to be particularly (in)vulnerable in child L2 and SLI crosslinguistically? - Are there aspects of grammatical development that clearly distinguish child L2 learners from children with SLI? - To what extent are the vulnerabilities grammatical phenomena and/or processing phenomena? - What are the implications of these similarities/differences for developmental theories of child L2 and SLI, and for linguistic theorizing more generally? Individual papers will be allotted 20 minutes (plus time for discussion). Submission Instructions: (NB: Do NOT submit abstracts for this panel through SLRF's online submission system.) - Abstracts should be anonymous, clearly titled and no more than 500 words. The text of the abstract should fit on one page, with a second page for examples, figures/tables and references. (Please include a word count at the bottom of the page.) - The title should be no longer than 12 words. - Each submission must also include a 50-word summary, to be published in the conference program. - In a single e-mail message to theres.gruter at umontreal.ca, send the abstract as a pdf file and the summary as a Microsoft Word or RTF file by 15 April 2008. - Title of the paper, author name(s), affiliation(s) and contact information should be included in the body of the e-mail message. Notification of acceptance is anticipated to be by mid-May. For questions and further information regarding this panel, please contact Theres Grueter (theres.gruter at umontreal.ca).

Our well-loved and used camcorders and microphones are just about to be retired and we are seeking to replace them. This seems to be more difficult than in past years as some of the features that we count on are no longer available on many models. We collect all of our data in infants' homes, so mobility and dependability are of great importance. In the past, we have used miniDV camcorders with wireless microphones plugged into the camera's audio input jack (the microphone itself is positioned at shoulder level on the baby hidden in a vest worn over the clothes and the receiver is mounted on the camcorder). This has yielded very good recordings. As we've looked at new camcorders (miniDV), we've noticed that many no longer have the microphone jack, which is a big problem. So, I am wondering if any of you have recently purchased video and audio equipment that you like and find reliable that you could recommend. Since our sessions all involve fairly unstructured play and interaction, we need cameras that aren't too heavy and will still record good images in low lighting situations. We recently purchased new microphones which seem all right, but the microphone itself is quite large and has been the object of much exploration by little hands. So any suggestions for wireless microphones that will interface with a miniDV camcorder would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help! I will post a summary of your responses to the list. Best regards, Jana Iverson Jana M.

URL: From macw at cmu.edu Tue Apr 22 11:40:17 2008 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:40:17 +0200 Subject: equipment recommendations In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear Jana, Just a couple more remarks on the video equipment issue. First, I think that using transmitter mikes is a great idea. In regard to the idea that some new cameras are not coming with audio input plugs, I can say that this is only the case for the very lowest end new equipment. For example, there was a Panasonic hard disk recorder model for about $600 that didn't have one, but the slightly better model for $700 did. Peter is right that the mini-DV is still the most stable and well supported format. He and Anna are right about the importance of avoiding the direct-to-DV recorders at all cost. However, there is another new format coming out now that is worth considering. This is the AVCHD format which provides exceptionally high definition recording in a very small unit with memory stick recording for about one hour on a memory stick. The downside of this format is that you then have to master the software for compressing, but that software will become available more generally in the next year and there is already a great system for Mac. The CHILDES Project continues to test new equipment in this area and I continue to update my suggestions for equipment at http://talkbank.org/dv where this is all discussed in greater depth. --Brian MacWhinney --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We're gradually changing from DVC tape camcorders, to memory card camcorders - at the moment using Sanyo HD2 which produce mp4 files of good quality which can be edited and played back with QuickTime and even on many mobile devices. These cameras are not perfect - the sound levels are nothing like as high as the old SONY DVC camcorders, although the quality is fine. They are very portable and easy to use though and ideal for student use as they can copy the results straight onto their laptop. Yes I agree steer clear of any DVD-based machines as we found them a nightmare to explain to users, and the recordings may or may not play on this or that equipment ! Don't forget that virtually all camcorder sound is compressed. Due to this, in cases where we need pristine sound we don't usually bother with adding microphones to the camcorder, but make simultaneous audio recordings on our Edirol R9's - there is software available to allow to to sync the audio and video back together if absoutely necessary. If we do use microphones these are normally Sennheiser radio mikes.

In-Reply-To: <23076974.4031209145626923.JavaMail.myubc2@brahms.my.ubc.ca> Message-ID: Hi, For what it's worth a student (Ling Yu Guo) and I did some comparisons between Moe et al, Francis and Kucera, and the CHILDES frequency lists. We weren't totally systematic about it, but we did check these three lists out for a pretty wide ranging set of words that we were planning to use in a project. It seems that for high frequency words (words that make it on to Moe et al's list) the relative frequencies are the same across all three lists. That is the really high words are still high and the medium high words are in the middle etc. For low frequency/non Child Directed Speech words, the challenge is that they don't appear at all on Moe, but do appear in F&K. Typically the words that don't appear in CDS appear as very low frequency on F&K. I wouldn't call the lists exactly interchangable, but if you are trying to group words (high/med/low) rather than get a continuous variable, I think that's possible. For what it's worth, F&K is more user friendly as far as searching and dealing with homophones and morphological endings.

There are two possible ways in which this can be done. The first is fro the author to simply post the article directly on GoogleGroups. You can do this by clickling on the "Files" button on the right of the GoogleGroups interface and then uploading your file directly. Info-CHILDES is given 100MB of space and currently none of this is being used. I had recommended this method to Marie Hoejholt, but I guess she did not want to make the article generally available. If the author does not wish to post the article, it is, of course, fine for individuals to request the article from the author. However, when doing this, it is better to write directly to the author, rather than posting your message to the list. If you look at the top of an email message, you will see the sender's address. For example, Marie Hoejholt's email address is mariehojholt at stofanet.dk.

It seems that to send just to Brian, you have to copy this address and create a new e-mail and paste this address onto it. It does not seem that you can write to the individual by doing a "reply" and then just choosing Brian, because his name doesn't show up on the reply function, only on the incoming e-mail.

I appealed this and the IRB has now amended their review - the IRB will grant me permission to see participants on-campus. In order to see participants at their schools, I must submit an amendment to the research protocol to add a school as a participating site once I have obtained approval from that particular school. Assuming that any such amendment would have an expedited review, I would receive the okay from IRB 3 weeks after submitting the amendment.

However, I would agree that the way in which the IRB implements this requirement could indeed be handled in a more flexible way. For example, they could let you list the schools with which you plan to work and then make approval for work with that school contingent upon receipt at the IRB office of a letter from the specific school. This would avoid the need for an amendment in each case and should cut down on delays. These implementational details are under the control of your IRB. --Brian MacWhinney On Apr 8, 2008, at 10:58 AM, Sarita Eisenberg wrote: > > The IRB at my university withheld approval for a project - which > involves collecting conversational samples, narratives, and > expositions from school-age children - because I did not have prior > approval from specific schools for recruitment and on-site data > collection.

Where you ended up is a common arrangement here. That is, you can have the research approved in general but you are required to submit an amendment once you have the specific permission from the schools. I agree in general that this is a pain of a complication -- I've never worked in a preschool without talking to the director first and I can't imagine how one would get access to the recruitment process (let alone running the subjects!) without the positive good will of someone in the school administration. >From the IRB's perspective, though, they want to be sure that you're doing things right. Just as importantly, they want the name of someone there in case there are any issues that come up, such as a parent who complains about what's going on. And, since you are going to be talking to the director anyway, it's not really a big deal to get a letter from them (I often just write the letter for them and get them to sign it). The biggest pain is the time lag: I agree that having to wait 3 weeks is just terrible. If you're planning on talking to your IRB, talk about this part because it's the only thing they can likely do much about. What Brian suggests might work, and would require only that a member of the IRB's bureaucratic staff review the letter (as opposed to getting a full member of the board).

Investigators are allowed to start research at schools from which they have obtained permission already (after IRB approval) even if they are waiting to hear back from other schools. One thing to note is that we require permission from the Superintendent of the school district and the principal of each school to prevent any arguments between the two.

Recent work in a variety of linguistic frameworks has shown remarkable similarities between children acquiring a nonnative language (L2) and children diagnosed with Specific Language Impairment (SLI): Similar grammatical phenomena appear to be vulnerable in both cases. The aim of this panel is to bring together researchers working on child L2 and SLI in different languages within a linguistic framework, in order to address and discuss questions such as the following: - To what extent are similarities/differences between child L2 and SLI observed crosslinguistically? - What domains of the grammar seem to be particularly (in)vulnerable in child L2 and SLI crosslinguistically? - Are there aspects of grammatical development that clearly distinguish child L2 learners from children with SLI? - To what extent are the vulnerabilities grammatical phenomena and/or processing phenomena? - What are the implications of these similarities/differences for developmental theories of child L2 and SLI, and for linguistic theorizing more generally? Individual papers will be allotted 20 minutes (plus time for discussion). Submission Instructions: (NB: Do NOT submit abstracts for this panel through SLRF's online submission system.) - Abstracts should be anonymous, clearly titled and no more than 500 words. The text of the abstract should fit on one page, with a second page for examples, figures/tables and references. (Please include a word count at the bottom of the page.) - The title should be no longer than 12 words. - Each submission must also include a 50-word summary, to be published in the conference program. - In a single e-mail message to theres.gruter at umontreal.ca, send the abstract as a pdf file and the summary as a Microsoft Word or RTF file by 15 April 2008. - Title of the paper, author name(s), affiliation(s) and contact information should be included in the body of the e-mail message. Notification of acceptance is anticipated to be by mid-May. For questions and further information regarding this panel, please contact Theres Grueter (theres.gruter at umontreal.ca).

Our well-loved and used camcorders and microphones are just about to be retired and we are seeking to replace them. This seems to be more difficult than in past years as some of the features that we count on are no longer available on many models. We collect all of our data in infants' homes, so mobility and dependability are of great importance. In the past, we have used miniDV camcorders with wireless microphones plugged into the camera's audio input jack (the microphone itself is positioned at shoulder level on the baby hidden in a vest worn over the clothes and the receiver is mounted on the camcorder). This has yielded very good recordings. As we've looked at new camcorders (miniDV), we've noticed that many no longer have the microphone jack, which is a big problem. So, I am wondering if any of you have recently purchased video and audio equipment that you like and find reliable that you could recommend. Since our sessions all involve fairly unstructured play and interaction, we need cameras that aren't too heavy and will still record good images in low lighting situations. We recently purchased new microphones which seem all right, but the microphone itself is quite large and has been the object of much exploration by little hands. So any suggestions for wireless microphones that will interface with a miniDV camcorder would also be appreciated. Thank you in advance for your help!

URL: From macw at cmu.edu Tue Apr 22 11:40:17 2008 From: macw at cmu.edu (Brian MacWhinney) Date: Tue, 22 Apr 2008 13:40:17 +0200 Subject: equipment recommendations In-Reply-To: Message-ID: Dear Jana, Just a couple more remarks on the video equipment issue. First, I think that using transmitter mikes is a great idea. In regard to the idea that some new cameras are not coming with audio input plugs, I can say that this is only the case for the very lowest end new equipment. For example, there was a Panasonic hard disk recorder model for about $600 that didn't have one, but the slightly better model for $700 did. Peter is right that the mini-DV is still the most stable and well supported format. He and Anna are right about the importance of avoiding the direct-to-DV recorders at all cost. However, there is another new format coming out now that is worth considering. This is the AVCHD format which provides exceptionally high definition recording in a very small unit with memory stick recording for about one hour on a memory stick. The downside of this format is that you then have to master the software for compressing, but that software will become available more generally in the next year and there is already a great system for Mac. The CHILDES Project continues to test new equipment in this area and I continue to update my suggestions for equipment at http://talkbank.org/dv where this is all discussed in greater depth. --Brian MacWhinney --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Info-CHILDES" group.

We're gradually changing from DVC tape camcorders, to memory card camcorders - at the moment using Sanyo HD2 which produce mp4 files of good quality which can be edited and played back with QuickTime and even on many mobile devices. These cameras are not perfect - the sound levels are nothing like as high as the old SONY DVC camcorders, although the quality is fine. They are very portable and easy to use though and ideal for student use as they can copy the results straight onto their laptop. Yes I agree steer clear of any DVD-based machines as we found them a nightmare to explain to users, and the recordings may or may not play on this or that equipment ! Don't forget that virtually all camcorder sound is compressed. Due to this, in cases where we need pristine sound we don't usually bother with adding microphones to the camcorder, but make simultaneous audio recordings on our Edirol R9's - there is software available to allow to to sync the audio and video back together if absoutely necessary. If we do use microphones these are normally Sennheiser radio mikes.

Message-ID: Hello We searched far and wide for such data in our lab recently, and have not had much success. For detailed AoA data, we have relied on the CDI website. Here are two other sources you may like to consult: Zeno, Ivens, Millard, & Duvvuri (1995). The educator's word frequency guide, Touchstone Applied Science Associates (TASA), Inc. It is based on written materials destined to children of all ages. It provides word frequencies per million for each grade-level from K to high school. Sampled a broad spectrum of reading materials destined to children and teenagers used in schools and colleges throughout the USA. Moe, Hopkins, & Rush (1982). The vocabulary of first-grade children. Springfiled, IL, Charles C. Thomas. Compilation of words spoken by first-grade children compiled in 1974 to 1981 Language samples obtained at different times during the first grade year from 329 children and resulted in 6412 different words from a corpus of over 285 000 spoken words Perhaps your search will be more fruitful.

URL: From ajowen at gmail.com Sat Apr 26 13:16:48 2008 From: ajowen at gmail.com (ajowen at gmail.com) Date: Sat, 26 Apr 2008 06:16:48 -0700 Subject: Child word frequency list? In-Reply-To: <23076974.4031209145626923.JavaMail.myubc2@brahms.my.ubc.ca> Message-ID: Hi, For what it's worth a student (Ling Yu Guo) and I did some comparisons between Moe et al, Francis and Kucera, and the CHILDES frequency lists. We weren't totally systematic about it, but we did check these three lists out for a pretty wide ranging set of words that we were planning to use in a project. It seems that for high frequency words (words that make it on to Moe et al's list) the relative frequencies are the same across all three lists. That is the really high words are still high and the medium high words are in the middle etc. For low frequency/non Child Directed Speech words, the challenge is that they don't appear at all on Moe, but do appear in F&K. Typically the words that don't appear in CDS appear as very low frequency on F&K. I wouldn't call the lists exactly interchangable, but if you are trying to group words (high/med/low) rather than get a continuous variable, I think that's possible. For what it's worth, F&K is more user friendly as far as searching and dealing with homophones and morphological endings.
