Measurement of Communicative Intentions in Normally Developing Children during Structured and Unstructured Contexts.

Wetherby, Amy M.; Rodriguez, Gary P.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v35 n1 p130-38 Feb 1992

Communication samples were collected from 15 normally developing children (ages 11-27 months) during the prelinguistic, single-word, and multiword stages, using both structured and unstructured contexts. Significantly more requests were used during the structured context, but no significant difference was found between the numbers of comments used in the two contexts. (Author/JDD)
