The Relationship between the Different Kinds of Vocabulary in Infancy and the Intellectual Abilities in Early Childhood

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between the different kinds of vocabulary at 18 months and the intellectual ability at 4 years. The total of 46 children (N=46) were participated in this study. MCDI-K assessed the children's vocabulary, which included the nouns, verb, adverb, and predicate completed by their mothers at 18 months. Moreover, K-WPPSI assessed the children's intellectual abilities, which was administrated by the examiner at 4 years. The results are as follow: First, there was a significant correlation between the number of nouns at 18 months and the vocabulary subtest scores at 4 years, and between the number of adverb at 18 months and the maze subtest score at 4 years, respectively. However there was no correlation between the expressive vocabulary and intellectual abilities in their development. Second, children whose expressive vocabulary was delayed in infancy had a lower intellectual ability. The study explored the characteristics of noun and vocabulary spurt.
