If you're at #iascl2024 and interested in how caregivers use gesture when reading picture books with their infants, please stop by my poster #45 today! 😊

Brilliant day at @uniofwarwick yesterday for #comein2024. Lots of inspiring talks and thought-provoking conversation about multimodality in early interactions. Same again next year?

[Dr Suzanne Aussems @SuzanneAussems]

Enjoying the talks so far at the #comein2024 conference on multimodality in early interactions. A lot of talks mention the importance of #iconicity in this context.

Looking forward to a great day of talks and posters on everything multimodality! #comein2024

Our final keynote speaker is @DrLizKirk who is talking to us about how gesture in parent/ child interaction allows us to use the hands to read minds. What a privilege to have the three fantastic keynote speakers we've had today! #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

We are fortunate to have the benefit of the diverse wisdom of @sotarokita @SuzanneAussems @pernipa @MarcusPerlman @DrLizKirk and @vigliocco_g for our careers panel #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Our final ECR talk is by Sofia Russo on the relationship between rhythm perception and language development in infancy. A really diverse range of topics this afternoon, thanks to all our speakers! #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Our next ECR talk is by Yanran Zhang, presenting on the role of empathy and personality traits in multimodal child-directed language #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Unfortunately our first ECR presenter of the afternoon cannot join us in person but we welcome Jiayu Jiang remotely, presenting on what children's gestures reveal about their mental mappings of spatial and temporal distances #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Our second keynote speaker is @pernipa who is speaking about the potential for harnessing iconicity in the visual modality for language learning. Really fascinating stuff! #comein2024

[Dr Suzanne Aussems @SuzanneAussems]

If you're at #comin2024 and are interested in the multimodal behaviours that caregivers produce during shared book reading, please check out @TeruniAhamat poster later today.

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Our final talk of the morning is by Pierre Labendzki on the dynamics of multimodal interaction between infants and caregivers and how caregivers adapt their salience to reflect infants' attentional states. #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Kate Mee is now presenting her research on the sensorimotor properties of word learning for children with Down Syndrome. #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Our first ECR presenter Hannah Lutzenberger is presenting a case study of deaf children learning Kata Kolok, a Balinese sign language where input is more typical to hearing children in the West. Really interesting research! #comein2024

[Kirsty Green @KirstGreen]

Our first keynote tale is underway. UCL's @vigliocco_g is presenting insights from the ECOLANG corpus on 'Learning from others in childhood and adulthood: the role of multimodal input'. Looking forward to the publication of this Corpus soon! #comein2024
