Abstract:
To date, most of what we know in early development comes from research on children in Western, Educated, Industrialized, Rich and Democratic populations (WEIRD; Henrich, Heine, & Norenzayan, 2010). There is much less information about the early environment, learning mechanisms, and language acquisition benchmarks of children who grow up in non-WEIRD conditions. Throughout the dissertation, with different methodological approaches and datasets, I work with populations often underrepresented in developmental research: populations from diverse socioeconomic status (SES) backgrounds and indigenous communities. I contributed to the study of whether linguistic input has a crucial impact on later lexical outcomes across three studies: a meta-analysis exploring the relationship between SES and early lexical development; an empirical study of the effects of SES, lingual status, and age on lexical processing and vocabulary in young French children; and finally, a study using daylong recordings to analyze the quantity and sources of language input afforded to children from a small-scale community in the lowlands Bolivia, the Tsimane'. In the final discussion, I present the benefits and limitations of cross-cultural research and the dangers of generalizing from only one kind of socio-ecological background.
