Vocabulary Competence in Early Childhood: Measurement, Latent Construct, and Predictive Validity.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bornstein, Marc H.; Haynes, O. Maurice – Child Development, 1998
Examined relations among measures of child language derived from observations of 20-month-olds' speech with mothers, experimenter assessments, and maternal reports. Found that structural equation modeling supported strong relations among the three sources, the loading of multiple measures on a single latent construct of vocabulary competence, and…

Memory and Speed: Their Role in the Relation of Infant Information Processing to Later IQ.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rose, Susan A.; Feldman, Judith F. – Child Development, 1997
Studied the extent to which memory and processing speed accounted for relations between infant information processing and childhood IQ. Found that the relationship of 7-month visual recognition memory and 1-year cross-modal transfer to 11-year IQ were reduced when statistically controlled for factors derived from these measures, suggesting that…
