Corpus Description

These data are from (1) a longitudinal study of infant vocal learning and its relation to adult vocalizations (Ritwika et al., 2020) and (2) a study of 12 month olds' locomotor abilities, language abilities, and language environments (Walle & Warlaumont, 2015). In the first study, daylong (at least 10 hour) LENA recordings were collected at 3-, 6-, 9-, and 18-months. Two of the participants were twins; these have the same participant ID except for the fourth character being A or B. One participant engaged in some additional monthly recordings and some participants did not complete all four planned recordings. In the second study, LENA recordings were collected once at about 12-13 months old. Participants in the second study have "w" at the beginning of their participant IDs. Data for both studies were collected in the Merced, CA area and include primarily English and Spanish speaking families.

A subset of the recordings are available for public use (see the San Joaquin Valley Public HomeBank corpus).
