The Shared Book Reading Corpus: An audiovisual collection of 44 multimodal caregiver-infant interactions
摘要
The Shared Book Reading Corpus is a collection of audiovisual recordings of English-speaking caregivers and 13–14-month-old infants (N = 44 dyads) reading together in a controlled lab setting. Caregivers were instructed to read a First 100 Words picture-book with their infant as they naturally would at home. An overview camera recorded the full interaction, while two head-mounted cameras worn by all caregivers and most infants captured their individual perspectives. The corpus also contains detailed caregiver speech transcriptions, comprehensive family demographic and socioeconomic information for all dyads, as well as measures of all infants’ vocabulary and pointing gesture development. The corpus is documented on Databrary and provides a valuable resource for investigating rich multimodal caregiver-infant interactions in early development.
