DrBernstein Kept a Thorough Record of Her Child's Behaviour and Progress

question 67

Essay

Dr.Bernstein kept a thorough record of her child's behaviour and progress throughout the first year of life, with careful attention to the sounds and noises her baby made that seemed to lead up to later language usage.She also kept notes on how her own behaviour affected her baby's vocalizing, in an attempt to learn how parent-child interactions influence language development.Later, in developing her own theory, she and her colleagues replicated the project on several dozen other children by observing them weekly throughout their first year of life.(a) What research methods were employed? What type of comparison was used? (b) Why was the research conducted on children other than Dr.Bernstein's? (c) If Dr.Bernstein observed that whenever she talked to the baby, the baby's rate of vocalizing increased, would this mean that her behaviour caused the baby's? Why or why not?
