McCathren, Rebecca B.; Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Children's Communication Development, 1999
Fifty-eight toddlers with developmental delays participated in a 12-month longitudinal study of the relationship between prelinguistic representational ability and later expressive vocabulary. Results indicated that representational play was a significant predictor of later expressive vocabulary, but vocabulary comprehension was not. (Author/DB)
