Development of Conversational Responsiveness: Preschoolers' Use of Responsive Listener Cues and Relevant Comments.
Miller, Lynn Carol; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v21 n3 p473-80 May 1985
In order to determine how use of responsive listener cues (e.g. head nods, yesses, smiles, etc.) changes over preschool years, children were videorecorded as they listened to an adult speaker talk about his experiences. Age and sex differences in preschoolers' responsive behaviors are discussed as well as the relationship between the development of nonverbal and verbal behaviors. (Author/DST)
