Crandall, Madison Cloud; Bottema-Beutel, Kristen; McDaniel, Jena; Watson, Linda R.; Yoder, Paul J. – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2019
The relation between caregiver follow-in utterances with verbs presented in different states of dyadic engagement and later child expressive verb vocabulary in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) was examined in 29 toddlers with ASD and their caregivers. Caregiver verb input in follow-in utterances presented during higher order supported…

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)

Facilitating Prelinguistic Communication Skills in Young Children with Developmental Delay II: Systematic Replication and Extension.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoder, Paul J.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
Four toddlers with mental retardation were studied in the context of a multiple baseline across subjects design. Results supported the use of a modified version of milieu teaching to increase intentional requesting by these children. Increased intentional requesting was generalized to interactions with mothers.

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…

McCathren, Rebecca B.; Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Early Intervention, 2000
This study tested the predictive validity of the Communication Composite of the Communication and Symbolic Behavior Scales with 58 children (ages 17 to 34 months) functioning at the prelinguistic stage of language development. Evaluation of expressive vocabulary 1 year later found that the Communication Composite and all tested clusters were…

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…
