Mit der vorliegenden Studie wird die Interaktionsqualit{\"a}t im Rahmen einer naturwissenschaftlichen Lerngelegenheit in 34 schweizerischen Vorschulgruppen differenziert erfasst und sowohl qualitative (verbale Lernunterst{\"u}tzung der PFK) als auch quantitative Aspekte (Redeanteile der Kinder und PFK) und deren Effekt auf das inhaltliche Lernen der Kinder untersucht. Die Befunde zeigen, dass die Redeanteile zwischen PFK und Kindern {\"a}hnlich verteilt sind, die der PFK jedoch umfangreicher sind. Zudem belegen Ergebnisse aus Mehrebenenanalysen einen positiven Zusammenhang zwischen aktiver Beteiligung der Kinder in den Kleingruppengespr{\"a}chen und dem naturwissenschaftlichen Lernen. Je mehr die PFK dabei das Vorwissen der Kinder aktiviert, desto gr{\"o}ßer ist dieser Effekt, sodass von einem Interaktionseffekt zwischen Lernunterst{\"u}tzung der PFK und aktiver Gespr{\"a}chsbeteiligung der Kinder auf das Lernen ausgegangen wird.

The results were compared to those of Japanese children to draw insights on general mechanisms that underlie the acquisition of words in the color lexicon. For both languages, input frequency and category size contributed to the ease of learning.

Concurrently, research from other domains highlights the importance of domain-specific language skills for conceptual development. The current study examined the relative contributions of emotion-specific and general vocabulary to individual differences in multiple early-acquired components of emotion understanding (e.g., facial emotion recognition) and later-acquired components (e.g., knowledge of emotion regulation strategies) in 4- to 9-year-old children (N = 86). Emotion-specific vocabulary was measured by size (i.e., number of emotion words children use) and depth (i.e., adult-like use of emotion words). Findings emphasize the role of children's emotion-specific vocabulary rather than general vocabulary for early-acquired and later-acquired components of emotion understanding, especially when measured by expressive tasks. At preschool age, the size of emotion-specific vocabulary explains children's knowledge of emotion regulation strategies. In primary school, however, the depth of emotion-specific vocabulary becomes relevant for individual differences in emotion understanding.}, subject = {Sprachkompetenz}, language = {en} } @article{GrosseStreubelGunzenhauseretal., author = {Große, Gerlind and Streubel, Berit and Gunzenhauser, Catherine and Saalbach, Henrik}, title = {Let's Talk About Emotions}, series = {Affective Science}, volume = {2}, journal = {Affective Science}, number = {2}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Cham}, issn = {2662-205X}, doi = {10.1007/s42761-021-00040-2}, pages = {150 -- 162}, abstract = {Learning to use language in an adult-like way is a long-lasting process. This may particularly apply to complex conceptual domains such as emotions. The present study examined children's and adults' patterns of emotion word usage regarding their convergence and underlying semantic dimensions, and the factors influencing the ease of emotion word learning. We assessed the production of emotion words by 4- to 11-year-old children (N = 123) and 27 adults (M = 37 years) using a vignette test. We found that the older the children, the more emotion words they produced. Moreover, with increasing age, children's pattern of emotion word usage converged with adult usage. The analysis for semantic dimensions revealed one clear criterion—the differentiation of positive versus negative emotions—for all children and adults. We further found that broad covering emotion words are produced earlier and in a more adult-like way.}, subject = {Kleinkind}, language = {en} }
