Comprehension of Relational Concepts: Use of Bilingual Children to Separate Cognitive and Linguistic Factors.

Lindholm, Katherine J.; And Others

Hispanic Journal of Behavioral Sciences, v1 n4 p327-43 Dec 1979

The study examined 120 bilingual Mexican American and 24 monolingual Anglo American (pre-K-1) children's comprehension of 26 relational concepts by manipulating the natural language to separate and evaluate cognitive and linguistic variables. Six hypotheses were proposed as operating principles applicable to, but not necessarily limited to, duo-language acquisition. (SB)
