concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and
5 s1 R0 C2 C6 e( c0 uattachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them# R+ R: T% o! M+ ^/ K) S2 y2 H
will acquire language earlier and faster.0 Y8 j" K0 z4 U3 D

In order to find out, we will videotape you and your baby during a free play situation for approximately
% g! ~& E0 R4 ^30 minutes, at 6, 9, and 12 months of age. We know that babies are unpredictable so if you would like us to stop3 ]0 u5 {0 X1 S0 V
videotaping even after we have arrived, we will do so immediately. We can either reschedule for another day or
: Y7 W# `2 T1 c9 T2 s$ |- [simply skip this visit. Every visit, we will ask if we may contact you again for the next visit’s videotaping: you

At 6, 9 and 12 months, we will also ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire with infants’ common o: I4 e( M- ^- p
behaviors. You will chose in a scale from 1 to 7 those behaviors that are more descriptive of your baby (7) and' T9 }% w, {2 i
those that a least descriptive (1). This should last about 15 minutes.

Starting in the age of 9 months, we you ask you to take note of any word your baby might spontaneously; ^; r* d' x: `* R" Z
produce. And at 9, 12 and 18 months of age, we will ask you to mark from a list of words any words your baby( }: H( s* g- ^* ~! o( l
knows. We will also give you index cards with infants’ common behaviors and ask you to sort them according to( Q1 c* p3 j, z( Y D6 i
those behaviors that are more like your baby’s own behaviors. It should take around 30 minutes.

Finally, at 12 and 18 months we will measure your son/daughter language through a standard test. In this,
