A Protocol Materials Evaluation: The Language of Children

At its outset the project staff included Donald Cruickshank (director), Robert Emans, Carol Fisher, Martha King, Victor Rentel, and Frank Zidonis. Sharon Fox and Johanna DeStefano have since joined the staff, as have several graduate assistants —Pat Lyons, Alice Swinger, Tony Goeree, and Mary Kuhner. Technical development has been the responsibility of The Ohio State University Telecommunications Center and the Department of Cinema and Photography. Frank Zidonis now directs the project. Emans, Fisher, Lyons, and Swinger are no longer with the project.
