大家好！
" K, q5 }( ]0 d. K; Y& M2 C9 T& u我们研究室的一个博士生在做婴儿如何学会说话方面的研究，分别在孩子6个月、9个月、12个月时，与孩子见面，一起玩一些游戏，同时录像，然后回来分析录像。

I am Elena Nicoladis, a researcher at the University of Alberta. With graduate student Poliana Barbosa, I
/ N. |% u6 S& p5 n! fam conducting a study titled, “Language, Self-Recognition and Attachment Development: Possible pathways”,
concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and
attachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them
; t( E: Y/ ^: Y8 e$ cwill acquire language earlier and faster.

In order to find out, we will videotape you and your baby during a free play situation for approximately
$ D! Y. {& e6 {30 minutes, at 6, 9, and 12 months of age. We know that babies are unpredictable so if you would like us to stop
videotaping even after we have arrived, we will do so immediately. We can either reschedule for another day or
simply skip this visit. Every visit, we will ask if we may contact you again for the next visit’s videotaping: you
may say no at any time. In the video we will look for cues your baby might use in order to learn words. If your
baby starts speaking before 12 months, we will note down the words used.

At 6, 9 and 12 months, we will also ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire with infants’ common
. w6 \) m4 U9 h, T5 qbehaviors. You will chose in a scale from 1 to 7 those behaviors that are more descriptive of your baby (7) and
7 _9 X" n8 d( E! n! ^. A& Bthose 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
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
$ _3 D' v* q' F5 \7 V: H+ y, p' j% ?knows. We will also give you index cards with infants’ common behaviors and ask you to sort them according to
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,
the child will basically point to pictures and nominate objects.

# f' {; s; w5 R  S* b  nThe entire study will take maximum twelve months. You will receive a DVD with all the recordings done
- l. D% q3 N$ H7 h* gover the course of the study. In the future, we would like to visit you and your baby one more time, when he/she
0 [4 J0 O; K+ G% V0 M+ n$ ?is 24-month old, when we will measure the child’s vocabulary and language development. This last session will
take about 30 minutes. If we may contact you to see if you are willing to do this follow-up session, please indicate

As a default, all videos and computer files are only accessible to those involved in the research. The data
are stored in a room at the University, with access limited to lab personnel. If you are willing to allow us to show
video clips of you and your baby to scientific audiences, please indicate on the next page. No names will be used
