| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to investigate how caregivers' (mothers') gesture affect the language development of children. Healthy 3 pairs of mother and child (children were 18 months-olds from 8 months) were participated. They played freely in the playroom and this situation was recorded and analyzed. As a result, it was rare that children react immediately to mothers' gesture, but children's spontaneous speech and gestures were seen more. From this results, it might be difficult to promote the language development of children by mothers' gesture. Instead, it is suggested that if mothers respond appropriately to children's spontaneous speech, the language development will be prompted.
