Undergraduate Papers
Single-parent households are often viewed as a risky family context associated with children’s negative outcomes such as social difficulties, psychopathology, and lower academic performance. While single-parent households are becoming more common, particularly in the United States, not all children who grow up in single-parent households go on to develop negative outcomes.

Results suggest that the synchrony of speech plays a strong role in infants' attention to speech, whereas nativeness of language does not.
