Child Language Diaries |
Bates - Carnevale
Elizabeth Bates and George Carnevale contributed this diary of the development of their daughter from birth to age 1.4.
Bowerman
Melissa Bowerman contributed these diary materials on
her two daughters' learning of English.
Isaacs
Susan Isaacs wrote two books on child development, which we converted to text using OCR.
Isaacs recorded interesting
interactions with children often in nearly verbatim form. These data
are rich guides to many aspects of cognitive development, reasoning
skills, inferencing, and scientific reasoning in school aged children.
The children's ages range from 2;11 to 7;5. There are selections from
both boys and girls. These are upper-middle and upper class British
children in a school setting. These selections from the books are entered into the
computer file as a series of dated episodes.
