Effects of child age and child intelligence on mothers' use of verbal directives with delayed and nondelayed children ages 2.5 to 3 years and 4.5 to 5 years were examined. Mothers used significantly more directives with 2- and 4-year-old delayed children than with 2- and 4-year-old nondelayed children. The means of mothers' directives for 2- and 4-year-old children were similar for both groups. When mothers' directive scores to nondelayed 2-year-old and delayed 4-year-old children were plotted according to the children's comparable mean lengths of utterance, mothers' directives for the delayed 4-year-old children exceeded those for the nondelayed 2-year-old children with few exceptions.
研究了儿童年龄和儿童智力对母亲与2.5至3岁以及4.5至5岁的发育迟缓儿童和发育正常儿童使用言语指令的影响。与2岁和4岁发育正常的儿童相比，母亲对2岁和4岁发育迟缓儿童使用的指令明显更多。两组中母亲对2岁和4岁儿童的指令方式相似。当根据儿童相当的平均语句长度绘制母亲对发育正常的2岁儿童和发育迟缓的4岁儿童的指令得分时，除少数例外，母亲对发育迟缓的4岁儿童的指令超过了对发育正常的2岁儿童的指令。
