In a previous study, conversational turns assessed on 43 infants using LENA technology at 18 months were found to predict socioemotional competencies at 30 months, controlling for their initial levels, child vocalizations, mother‘s warmth, and cumulative social risk. Using cross-lagged analysis, it was found that the direction was more likely to go from turns at 18 months to socioemotional competencies at 30 months, than the opposite. In this follow-up study, we examine the contribution of conversational turns at 30 months to socioemotional development of 33 children during school age (four years later, at 77 months of age). Using hierarchical regressions, we found that conversational turns at 30 months explained between 14.4% and 20.3% of variance in socioemotional development at 77 months.
