Dear Parent or Guardian,

o0 ?% w7 W3 ?5 |concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and
8 O1 f8 a& t+ X6 s2 \attachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them7 D4 q7 G' \, C, [7 o5 r
will acquire language earlier and faster.; i' k+ x; d4 g. W% K% X) H

In order to find out, we will videotape you and your baby during a free play situation for approximately

simply skip this visit. Every visit, we will ask if we may contact you again for the next visit’s videotaping: you% j( V# X# U8 {6 r# x
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! i7 X c6 ]* h: A+ b
baby starts speaking before 12 months, we will note down the words used.! K/ ^6 `6 C" ]1 B

At 6, 9 and 12 months, we will also ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire with infants’ common

2 X7 V% }2 g* F( [% y& U8 ythose 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

knows. We will also give you index cards with infants’ common behaviors and ask you to sort them according to
