ABSTRACTIs parental report of comprehension valid for individual words? If so, how well must an infant know a word before their parents will report it as 'understood'? We report an experiment in which parental report predicts infant performance in a referent identification task at 1 ; 6. Unlike in previous research of this kind (i.e. Houston-Price, Mather & Sakkalou, 2007), infants saw items only once, and image pairs were taxonomic sisters. The match between parental report and infant behaviour provides evidence of the item-level accuracy of both measures of lexical comprehension, and informs our understanding of how British parents interpret standardized Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs).
摘要父母对理解能力的报告对于单个单词是否有效?如果是这样,在父母将某个单词报告为“理解”之前,婴儿必须对该单词了解到什么程度?我们报告了一项实验,在该实验中,父母的报告能够预测1岁6个月大婴儿在指称识别任务中的表现。与以往此类研究(即休斯顿-普赖斯、马瑟和萨卡洛,2007年)不同的是,婴儿只看了一次物品,且图像对是分类学上的姐妹关系。父母报告与婴儿行为之间的匹配为两种词汇理解测量方法在项目层面的准确性提供了证据,并有助于我们理解英国父母如何解读标准化的《沟通发展量表》(CDIs)。
