This paper presents a reanalysis of data collected in a study of abusing mother-infant pairs, emphasizing the failure of infants with a history of physical abuse to develop appropriate language skills. Bayley Mental Development indices of abused infants decreased with age. This decrease was attributable largely to the failure of abused infants to pass verbal items. None of the abused children had any verbal communication skills. Results are discussed in relation to patterns of maternal ignoring and lack of verbal stimulation.
本文对一项针对虐待母婴对的研究中收集的数据进行了重新分析，着重强调了有身体虐待史的婴儿在发展适当语言技能方面的失败。受虐婴儿的贝利智力发展指数随年龄增长而下降。这种下降在很大程度上归因于受虐婴儿未能通过语言项目。没有一个受虐儿童具备任何言语交流技能。研究结果结合母亲忽视和缺乏言语刺激的模式进行了讨论。
