Using language transcripts to identify maternal responsiveness

[Schneider, Phyllis]

Crawley and Spiker had a coding system for adult-child interaction that
distinguished directiveness, sensitivity and elaboration in mothers'
language.  Here are two references:

Crawley, S.B., & Spiker, D. (1983).  Mother-child interactions involving
two-year-olds with Down syndrome: A look at individual differences.
Child Development, 54, 1312-1323.  

Their coding system is also available as an ERIC report, #221978.

Spiker, D. (1982).  Early intervention for young children with Down
syndrome: New directions in enhancing parent-child synchrony.  In S.M.
Pueschel and J.E. Rynders (Eds.), Down syndrom: Advances in biomedicine
and the behavioral sciences (pp. 331-338).  Cambridge, MA: Ware.

Dear Colleague,

I am interested in using language transcripts to identify whether
mothers are redirecting or following their child's language/focus.  Do
you have any suggestions on how to proceed with this or which papers
are relevant to this topic?

Thank you,
Sara Schmitt
