Acquisition of Speech Prosody in a Non-native Tone Language by Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder / Si CHEN in Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 56-6 (June 2026)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Autism and Developmental Disorders > 56-6 (June 2026) . - p.2258-2272 Titre : Acquisition of Speech Prosody in a Non-native Tone Language by Children With and Without Autism Spectrum Disorder Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Si CHEN, Auteur ; Yixin ZHANG, Auteur ; Meixuan LI, Auteur ; Bin LI, Auteur ; Shuang LU, Auteur ; Angel CHAN, Auteur ; Haoyan GE, Auteur ; Tempo TANG, Auteur ; Zhuoming CHEN, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.2258-2272 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Purpose: Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often show abnormal speech prosody. Tonal languages can pose more difficulties as speakers need to use acoustic cues to make lexical contrasts while encoding the focal function, but the acquisition of speech prosody of non-native languages, especially tonal languages has rarely been investigated. Methods: This study aims to fill in the aforementioned gap by studying prosodic focus-marking in Mandarin by native Cantonese-speaking children with ASD (n = 25), in comparison with their typically developing (TD) peers (n = 20) and native Mandarin-speaking children (n = 20). Natural prosodic marking of different types of focus was elicited by picture-based prompt questions, recorded and analyzed acoustically. Results: The autistic children made use of fewer acoustic cues and produced less evident on-focus expansion in these cues than TD, especially the native-Mandarin speaking peers. They also demonstrated a clear preference to on-focus expansion than to post-focus compression. These children, together with their native Cantonese-speaking peers, also hyper-performed in tone realization, prioritizing lexical prosody over focus marking. Such hyper-performance may further limit their use of prosodic cues in focus marking. However, the difficulties the autistic children faced in the acquisition of speech prosody in a non-native tone language, though found, are not more than those they face in their mother tongue. Conclusion: Multilingual exposure may help the autistic children master the use of some focus marking strategies though they still need interventions to help them to implement their focus-marking knowledge more sufficiently in both native and non-native languages.

Research Review: Grandparental care and child mental health - a systematic review and meta-analysis / Yihang WANG in Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 65-4 (April 2024)  

Public ISBD [article]  inJournal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry > 65-4 (April 2024) . - p.568-586 Titre : Research Review: Grandparental care and child mental health - a systematic review and meta-analysis Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Yihang WANG, Auteur ; Xintai CHEN, Auteur ; Anzhuo WANG, Auteur ; Lucy PORTER JORDAN, Auteur ; Shuang LU, Auteur Article en page(s) : p.568-586 Langues : Anglais (eng) Index. décimale : PER Périodiques Résumé : Background The number of children residing in grandfamilies is growing worldwide, leading to more research attention on grandparental care over the past decades. Grandparental care can influence child well-being in various forms and the effects vary across contexts. In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we synthesize the evidence on the relation between grandparental care and children's mental health status. Methods We identified 5,745 records from seven databases, among which 38 articles were included for review. Random effects meta-analyses were used to synthesize evidence from eligible studies. We also examined the variability across study and participant characteristics, including study design, recruitment method, child age, child gender, study region, family type, comparison group, and outcome rater. Results The meta-analysis consisted of 344,860 children from the included studies, whose average age was 10.29, and of which 51.39% were female. Compared with their counterparts, children being cared for by their grandparents had worse mental health status, including more internalizing problems (d = 0.20, 95% CI [ 0.31, 0.09], p = .001), externalizing problems (d = 0.11, 95% CI [ 0.21, 0.01], p = .03), overall mental problems (d = 0.37, 95% CI [ 0.70, 0.04], p = .03), and poorer socioemotional well-being (d = 0.26, 95% CI [ 0.49, 0.03], p = .03). The effects varied by study design and child gender. Conclusions The findings highlight that grandparental care is negatively associated with child mental health outcomes with trivial-to-small effect sizes. More supportive programs and interventions should be delivered to grandfamilies, especially in disadvantaged communities.
