Results: Several cross-sectional and longitudinal studies demonstrate many ecological factors like maternal interactions, child early babbling, motor development, home environment, birth order, and sibling, SES underline the detrimental effects child language development. Thus, input effects on language outcomes persist even in the absence of genetic confounds.
