Vocabulary Competence in Early Childhood: Measurement, Latent Construct, and Predictive Validity.
Bornstein, Marc H.; Haynes, O. Maurice
Child Development, v69 n3 p654-71 Jun 1998
Examined relations among measures of child language derived from observations of 20-month-olds' speech with mothers, experimenter assessments, and maternal reports. Found that structural equation modeling supported strong relations among the three sources, the loading of multiple measures on a single latent construct of vocabulary competence, and predictive validity of the vocabulary competence latent variable for IQ at 48 months.
