Infants directed speech: Romanian corpus Coneural > Ioana Goga > PhD research > Psychological studies The data for this corpus was collected during the observation of the structured interaction between pairs of human caregivers-infants, executing a seriated nesting cups task. In our study, the original experiment of the seriated nesting cups task was modified in several ways. The demonstrator was replaced by the child caregiver, who was allowed to interact with the infant in three different conditions. During the first condition the infant and the caregiver were allowed to freely interact and communicate while playing with the nesting cups and two other toys. During the second condition, the caregiver was instructed to demonstrate the seriated nesting cups to the infant, and she was allowed to interact in a limited manner with the infant during the demonstration and imitation periods. In the third condition, the caregiver was instructed to guide child's attention , using linguistic imperatives and gestures, in order to make the child use the most advanced seriating strategy (i.e., the sub-assembly strategy). 7 infants between 12 and 36 months of age were observed and all sessions were recorded on video and transcribed using the CHAT system (Codes forHuman Analysis of Transcripts). The resulted corpus SeriatedCups was contributed to the CHILDES database.
