In a new study led by Associate Professor Lynn Perry, researchers have found that the specific types of words children know first can be an early predictor of language difficulties.
The paper, โLate bloomer or language disorder? Differences in toddler vocabulary composition associated with long-term language outcomes,โ which was recently published in Developmental Science, suggests that the number of words toddlers know that name things that are similar in shape, such as cup, ball, and spoon (i.e., โshape-based nounsโ), can differentiate between children who are considered late bloomers and those who have persisting delays months or years later.
โSome children who are late talkers and show initial delays in their vocabulary as toddlers, eventually catch up to have a typically sized vocabulary. We call these children late bloomers,โ said Perry, who studies child language development in the Department of Psychology. โBut some late talkers do not seem to catch up, and so far, researchers have been unable to predict early on who is going to be who.
