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…

Maternal Responsivity Predicts the Prelinguistic Communication that Facilitates Generalized Intentional Communication.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Warren, Steven F.; Yoder, Paul J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
This study examined whether maternal responsivity would predict the extent to which prelinguistic milieu teaching (PMT) facilitated generalized intentional communication better than a contrast small-group treatment with 58 children (ages 17 to 36 months) with developmental disabilities. If mothers were relatively responsive before treatment, PMT…

Intentional Communication Elicits Language-Facilitating Maternal Responses in Dyads with Children Who Have Developmental Disabilities.
Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 2001
Fifty-eight prelinguistic children with developmental disabilities and their mothers participated in an experimental test of whether intentional communication elicits maternal responses purported to facilitate language development. Results indicated that treatment effects on maternal responses varied by pre-treatment maternal education level and…

Alternative Explanations for the Relationship between Maternal Verbal Interaction Style and Child Language Development.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoder, Paul J.; Kaiser, Ann P. – Journal of Child Language, 1989
Analysis of mothers' pragmatic language use and children's language levels during free play sessions suggested that a mother-driven, direct influence model may be inappropriate for many mother speech-child language development relationships and points to the feasibility of child- and mother-driven explanatory models for indirect relationships.…

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.

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…

Maternal Responsivity Mediates the Relationship between Prelinguistic Intentional Communication and Later Language.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Yoder, Paul J.; Warren, Steven F. – Journal of Early Intervention, 1999
A study involving 58 children (17 to 36 months) with developmental disabilities in the prelinguistic period of development and their mothers found that the relationship between intentional communication and later language was, in part, due to covarying relationships with maternal responsivity.
