Mother-Child Interaction and Children's Speech Progress: A Longitudinal Study of the First Two Years.

Olson, Sheryl L.; And Others

Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v32 n1 p1-20 Jan 1986

Longitudinally examines interrelations between mother-child interactions and children's developing speech progress at six, 13, and 24 months of age. Children with large differentiated vocabularies showed superior in developmental progress relative to peers. Vocabulary progress was most closely linked to frequent responsive mother-child language interaction, even when family social class and maternal education were controlled. (Author/BB)
