Dear Parent or Guardian," a9 t0 d* m" N4 Z1 Q! f% Q
I am Elena Nicoladis, a researcher at the University of Alberta. With graduate student Poliana Barbosa, I
$ r- |! ?" c; e$ Z2 }am conducting a study titled, “Language, Self-Recognition and Attachment Development: Possible pathways”,
* l6 W9 g: i& S' W8 |concerning babies between 6- and 18- months of age. The purpose of the study is to understand how language and
& `: i. {/ y6 q8 P; |8 kattachment are related. For example, we want to know if babies that are good at relating to people around them1 q" ]0 @1 _5 m2 ^+ q
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* @* C5 T! J7 ]$ P2 _8 k3 F
30 minutes, at 6, 9, and 12 months of age. We know that babies are unpredictable so if you would like us to stop
f( D# L3 q Ivideotaping even after we have arrived, we will do so immediately. We can either reschedule for another day or+ H+ [/ S% P" \
simply skip this visit. Every visit, we will ask if we may contact you again for the next visit’s videotaping: you% A' E. }/ t- e+ Y
may say no at any time. In the video we will look for cues your baby might use in order to learn words. If your# b- d9 ` Y6 O1 y9 r' K7 S9 ?! W
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" j% {5 y0 M' X
behaviors. You will chose in a scale from 1 to 7 those behaviors that are more descriptive of your baby (7) and
1 l( P9 S* d, X3 Z1 a: L! O# Pthose that a least descriptive (1). This should last about 15 minutes., U* C8 H( e9 P. @0 w
# Q/ r- _! t0 i" O YStarting in the age of 9 months, we you ask you to take note of any word your baby might spontaneously0 D a$ g6 r0 _. ~- S
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; S7 u- p4 _% T9 {% \! p) E! j I
knows. We will also give you index cards with infants’ common behaviors and ask you to sort them according to

The entire study will take maximum twelve months. You will receive a DVD with all the recordings done* G+ U0 U% g& f8 q' a4 {
over the course of the study. In the future, we would like to visit you and your baby one more time, when he/she% l( ]/ v+ S6 N7 Z y. S
is 24-month old, when we will measure the child’s vocabulary and language development. This last session will Y- l D c" L+ H' Y
take about 30 minutes. If we may contact you to see if you are willing to do this follow-up session, please indicate
