Babbling of Prelinguistic Mentally Retarded Children.

Oller, D. Kimbrough; Seibert, Jeffrey M.

American Journal of Mental Retardation, v92 n4 p369-75 Jan 1988

Comparison of canonical (well-formed syllabic) babbling in 36 prelinguistic retarded children (17 to 62 months of age) with nonretarded children indicated a low correlation between babbling and developmental age suggesting substantial independence between cognitive development and babbling among retarded children.
