The
Language ENvironment Analysis (LENA) System is a relatively new recording
technology that can be used to investigate typical child language acquisition
and populations with language disorders. The purpose of this paper is to
familiarize language acquisition researchers and speechlanguage pathologists
with how the LENA System is currently being used in research. The authors
outline issues in peer-reviewed research based on the device. Considerations
when using the LENA System are discussed.
