Designed to provide practical information to those who are
concerned with the development of young children, this book has
three goals. First, the authors offer details about patterns of
language development over the first three years of life. Although
intensive studies have been carried out by examining from one to 20
children in the age range of zero to three years, there has been no
longitudinal study of a sample as large as this--53 children--nor
have as many measures of language development been obtained from
the same children. Examining language development from a broad
perspective in this size population allows us to see what
generalizations can be made about patterns of language development.
This volume's second goal is to examine the impact of such factors
as biology, cognition, and communication input--and the interaction
of these factors--which traditionally have been held to play an
important role in the course of language development. The
comparative influence of each--and the interaction of all
three--were examined statistically using children's scores on
standard language tests at age three.
The volume's third goal is to provide information to beginning
investigators, early childhood educators, and clinicians that can
help them in their practice. This includes information about what
appear to be good early predictors of language development at three
years; language assessment procedures that can be used with
children below age three, how these procedures can be used, what
they tell us about the language development of young children; and
what warning signs should probably be attended to, and which can
most likely be ignored. In addition, suggestions are made about
what patterns of communicative interaction during the different
periods of development seem to be most successful in terms of
language development outcomes at three years, and what overall
indications the study offers regarding appropriate
intervention.
