I am Elena Nicoladis, a researcher at the University of Alberta. With graduate student Poliana Barbosa, I# l2 X: o. f5 b3 K* C0 z: c: _0 X2 J

concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and* K0 q* a ]" D2 J
attachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them
