Caregivers' Contingent Comments to 9-Month-Old Infants: Relationships with Later language.

Rollins, Pamela Rosenthal

Applied Psycholinguistics, v24 n2 p221-34 Apr 2003

Examined the relationship between caregiver input to 9-month-old infants and their subsequent language. Mother-infant dyads were videotaped at ages 9, 12, and 30 months. Language comprehension was measured by parent report and correlated with an independent language measure. Found that the total number of words mothers used when their infants were 9 months predicted vocabulary. (VWL)
