Researchers find way to predict child's vocabulary
Your one-year-old infant\'s ability to group objects according to the names associated with them -- as opposed to their appearance alone -- offers a glimpse into how his or her vocabulary will develop by the time they are 18 months, says a new study.
New York: Your one-year-old infant's ability to group objects according to the names associated with them -- as opposed to their appearance alone -- offers a glimpse into how his or her vocabulary will develop by the time they are 18 months, says a new study.
The study underscores importance of talking to your baby well before they can talk back. In that hypothetical scenario, 12-month-old babies who conclude that all of the primates belong in the same category, despite the fact that parents have referred to each by a different name, tend to have a less developed vocabulary, according to the new findings.
The study examined whether individual differences in the precision of 12-month-olds' ability to link language and object categories was related to both their present and future vocabulary growth.
