Developments in Early Lexical Comprehension: A Comparison of Parental Report and Controlled Testing.

Harris, Margaret; Chasin, Joan

Journal of Child Language, v26 n2 p453-60 Jun 1999

Six children were studied from the age of 6 months to 1 year and 6 months to chart their developing comprehension vocabularies from the first to the 100th word. Observational data were used in the first instance to identify newly comprehended words and then controlled testing was carried out for each word to confirm and expand the observational data.
