Prelinguistic Gesture Predicts Mastery and Error in the Production of Early Signs.

Cheek, Adrianne; Cormier, Kearsy; Meier, Richard P.; Repp, Ann

Language, v77 n2 p292-323 Jun 2001

Explores the predictors of early mastery versus error in children's acquisition of American Sign Language. Hypothesizes that the most frequent values for a particular parameter in prelinguistic gesture will be the most frequent in early signs and the most likely sources of substitution when children make errors.
