A Reconsideration of the Relation between Age and Mean Utterance Length.
Scarborough, Hollis; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v29 n3 p394-99 Sep 1986
A cross-sectional research study and a longitudinal research study failed to replicate previous research findings that indicated a linear relationship between age and mean length of utterance during the preschool years. Instead, a deceleration in age curves, particularly beyond about 36 months, was observed in each sample. (Author/CB)
