exposure to other cultures/languages

[Laura Morett]

Hi Jen,
In terms of questionnaires designed to measure bilingual language  
exposure, I'm aware of the LEAP-Q (Marian, Blumenfeld, & Kaushanskaya  
(2007) and a similar measure used by Bosch and Sebastian-Galles  
(2001).  The former is intended for use with adult bilinguals, and is  
normed.  The latter is intended for use with parents of infants and  
young children, but is not normed.  I'm including the references  
below. I'm not aware of any questionnaires intended to measure  
exposure to culture.

Salutations from Pittsburgh!
