Bloom, Lois; And Others
Cognitive Development, v8 n4 p431-50 Oct-Dec 1993
This study of early word learning focused on the status of object words in early vocabularies. Fourteen children were followed from nine months to two years of age, and monthly vocabulary growth was analyzed. Results indicated that object words represented approximately one-third, on average, of the different words the children learned. (TJQ)
