Conversational or Communicative Skill? A Reassessment of Two-Year-Olds' Behaviour in Miscommunication Episodes.
Shatz, Marilyn; O'Reilly, Anne Watson
Journal of Child Language, v17 n1 p131-46 Feb 1990
Examined miscommunication episodes occurring between 2.5-year-olds and their parents during videotaped free play sessions. Although children generally responded appropriately in form to parental clarification requests, they responded more often to and resolved successfully more of those following their own requests than those following their assertions.
