Dear Parent or Guardian, e2 H, K" i9 H* p# E: u
I am Elena Nicoladis, a researcher at the University of Alberta. With graduate student Poliana Barbosa, I
8 m: j# W1 X' `0 ^am conducting a study titled, “Language, Self-Recognition and Attachment Development: Possible pathways”,3 M6 i7 o3 K6 N8 d' d2 C) M
concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and
6 I1 M2 x5 J% W% |+ p, Eattachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them
* ^ V. { I6 o4 u1 {8 [will acquire language earlier and faster.

In order to find out, we will videotape you and your baby during a free play situation for approximately g; o. s( c1 J$ D0 Q
30 minutes, at 6, 9, and 12 months of age. We know that babies are unpredictable so if you would like us to stop; z9 u4 ]* j, j. R/ i* u9 P
videotaping even after we have arrived, we will do so immediately. We can either reschedule for another day or- p5 b- n+ i, o! A9 |, q
simply skip this visit. Every visit, we will ask if we may contact you again for the next visit’s videotaping: you
4 Y4 L/ B8 g9 M9 |4 W& [- S4 f& Kmay say no at any time. In the video we will look for cues your baby might use in order to learn words. If your" i x4 q+ E: r! j; ~
baby starts speaking before 12 months, we will note down the words used.

At 6, 9 and 12 months, we will also ask you to fill out a brief questionnaire with infants’ common, }$ k; s+ L" ~
behaviors. You will chose in a scale from 1 to 7 those behaviors that are more descriptive of your baby (7) and2 L0 h l8 m8 y, U. `* k
those that a least descriptive (1). This should last about 15 minutes.) J) h+ f$ m+ U; |

produce. And at 9, 12 and 18 months of age, we will ask you to mark from a list of words any words your baby% k, I# q; K8 ^% S& z, w4 @ H
knows. We will also give you index cards with infants’ common behaviors and ask you to sort them according to# A) L8 c# g* _$ q
those behaviors that are more like your baby’s own behaviors. It should take around 30 minutes.
