The Effects of Feedback on Young Children's Inappropriate Word Usage.

Chapmen, Kathy L.; And Others

Journal of Child Language, v13 n1 p101-17 Feb 1986

Describes a study which compared the effects of three types of adult feedback (acceptance, correction with joint labelling, and correction with explanation) on young children's inappropriate word usage. Findings showed that correction with explanation was more effective than correction with joint labelling, which was more effective than simple acceptance. (SED)
