Abstract

We investigated gestures that parents used with 12-, 18-, and 24-month-old infants at high or low risk for autism spectrum disorder (ASD; high-risk diagnosed with ASD: n = 21; high-risk classified as no ASD: n = 34; low-risk classified as no ASD: n = 34). We also examined infant responses to parent gestures and assessed the extent to which parent gesture relates to vocabulary development. Parents of three groups gestured in similar frequencies and proportions. Infants, in turn, responded similarly to parent gestures regardless of the infant’s ASD risk and later diagnosis. Finally, parents who gestured more at 12 months had children with better vocabulary at 36 months than parents who gestured less. These findings highlight the importance of examining parent gestures when predicting language development.

One previous paper examined a sub-sample (37%) of the participants included in the present study to examine gesture use in maternal gesture use at a single time point (Talbott et al. 2015). By including a larger sample size (n = 89) and multiple time points at 12, 18, and 24 months, the present study contributes to a more complete picture of parent gestural communication and its contribution to vocabulary development in the infant sibling context.

Given that previous research suggests a significant relation between parent education and gesture use (e.g., Rowe and Goldin-Meadow 2009) and that we found the significant differences in parent education across groups in our sample, we tested whether the finding held with the education controlled. Our finding held, demonstrating that parent gesture did not differ by group, over and above the control for parent education.
