McCathren, Rebecca B.; Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F.

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v42 n4 p915-24 Aug 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)
