The effect of maternal verbal interaction styleon infants' early vocabulary developmentduring picture book reading

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between infant's vocabulary development and mother's verbal interactional style. A total of forty mothers and their infants(13~36 month olds) participated in this study. The maternal verbal inputs during a wordless picture book reading were categorized into 5 verbal interaction styles: attention -getting, explaining, directing, questioning, and feedback-giving. The measures of infant's vocabulary ability were total number of utterances produced, numbers of words, and word types during picture book reading. Results are as follows: First, mother's feedback were benefit to infant's vocabulary development, especially to infant's word type(R²=.748, p< .001). Second, mother's interaction style gave different impact on different ages. For 13-24 months olds, feedback and attention-getting were significant predictors (R²=.743, R²=.812, respectively, p<.001), whereas for 25-36 months olds, feedback and explaining were significant predictors (R²=.684, R²=.751, respectively, p<.001). These results demonstrate that it is important for mothers to give verbal responses to infant's words, and that it is needed to interact differently depending on infant's age.
