CONVERSATIONAL TURNS
These are simple back-and-forth alternations between a child and an adult.
LENA technology counts that a turn has occurred when an adult speaks and a child follows, or vice versa, with no more than five seconds in between.
Any speech-like, non-cry sound counts as a turn — from an infant's coos to a toddler's words (either real or made up).
There's overwhelming evidence that conversational turns have more brain-building power than adult words alone.
