Cognitive Skills Associated with the Onset of Multiword Utterances.

Kelly, Charleen A.; Dale, Philip S.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v32 n3 p645-56 Sep 1989

The relationship between early language and cognition was studied in 20 children between 1 and 2 years of age. Four cognitive areas were tested: object permanence, means-end, play, and imitation. Results indicated that specific cognitive skills seem temporarily associated with some linguistic abilities, although attainment of skills can be evidenced first in language or cognition.
