Raghavendra, Parimala; Fristoe, Macalyne

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v55 n1 p149-59 Feb 1990

Standard or enhanced Blissymbols, designed to represent familiar actions, attributes, and objects, were shown to 20 3 year olds, who guessed their meaning. The number of their guesses that referred to the enhancements was twice as great as the number that referred to the standard Blissymbol base. (Author/JDD)
