Communicative, Sensorimotor, and Language Skills of Young Children with Downs Syndrome.
Smith, Lars; von Tetzchner, Stephen
American Journal of Mental Deficiency, v91 n1 p57-66 Jul 1986
The transition from preverbal to verbal communication of 13 retarded and nonretarded children was explored in a prospective, longitudinal study. Mental development was tested at ages 13 months and at 2 and 3 years. Results seem to support the postulate of a skill-specific homology in the transition from preverbal to verbal communication.
