Lexical Development during Middle Infancy: A Mutually Driven Infant-Caregiver Process.

Dunham, Philip; Dunham, Frances

Developmental Psychology, v28 n3 p414-20 May 1992

Mothers' utterances were measured during interactions with their 13-month-old infants and correlated with measures of infants' productive lexical development at 13 and 24 months. Correlations between maternal measures and infants' lexical development were lower for employed mothers than for mothers who were full-time caregivers. (BC)
