The Development of Word Retrieval Abilities in the Second Year and Its Relation to Early Vocabulary Growth.
Dapretto, Mirella; Bjork, Elizabeth L.
Child Development, v71 n3 p635-48 May-Jun 2000
Examined word retrieval in 14- to 24-month-olds. Found that children with limited productive vocabularies were less likely to produce labels of hidden objects than children with larger vocabularies, even though all could name them and did well when asked to find them. Pictorial cues facilitated word retrieval. Naming errors peaked among children whose productive vocabularies had begun to expand. (Author/KB)
