A Curvilinear Trend in Naming Errors as a Function of Early Vocabulary Growth.

Gershkoff-Stowe, Lisa; Smith, Linda B.

Cognitive Psychology, v34 n1 p37-71 Oct 1997

Errors in naming pictures were studied for 12 children followed from age 15 months to 22 months and for 60 children of similar ages at three different levels of vocabulary development. An increase in naming errors was found with sudden increases in productive vocabulary, suggesting interference from previously retrieved words. (SLD)
