Direct linkDirect link
Fey, Marc E.; Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F.; Bredin-Oja, Shelley L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: The authors sought to determine whether a program of 5 weekly doses of milieu communication teaching (MCT) would yield improvements in children's communication and word use compared with a once-weekly delivery of the same treatment. Method: Sixty-four children with intellectual and communication delay were randomly assigned to receive…

The Relationship between Prelinguistic Vocalization and Later Expressive Vocabulary in Young Children with Developmental Delay.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCathren, Rebecca B.; Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
This study examined the relationship between prelinquistic vocalization and expressive vocabulary one year later in 58 toddlers (ages 17- to 34-months old). Rate of vocalizations, rate of vocalizations with consonants, and rate of vocalizations used interactively were all positively related to later expressive vocabulary. (Author/DB)

Relative Treatment Effects of Two Prelinguistic Communication Interventions on Language Development in Toddlers with Developmental Delays Vary by Maternal Characteristics.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2001
Prelinguistic children (N=58) with developmental delay received one of two staff-implemented treatments designed to increase intentional communication ability. Results confirmed the prediction that treatment effects on children's receptive and expressive language 6 and 12 months after intervention would vary as a function of pretreatment maternal…

Representational Ability as a Predictor of Later Expressive Vocabulary.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
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)

Important Distinctions in Measuring Maternal Responses to Communication in Prelinguistic Children with Disabilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoder, Paul J.; McCathren, Rebecca B.; Warren, Steven F.; Watson, Amy L. – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2001
Receptive language, prelinguistic communication, maternal responses, vocabulary level, and expressive language were measured at six-month intervals for 58 young children with disabilities or developmental delays and their primary caretakers. Results supported the importance of caregivers responding differentially to preintentional and intentional…

Prelinguistic Pragmatic Functions as Predictors of Later Expressive Vocabulary.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McCathren, Rebecca B.; Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Early Intervention, 1999
A study tested the relationship between prelinguistic pragmatic functions and later expressive vocabulary of 58 toddlers with mild to moderate developmental delays. Results indicate that rate of joint attention and rate of communication were statistically significant predictors of later expressive vocabulary. Rate of behavior regulation was not a…
