Cocquyt, Mie; Mommaerts, Maurice Yves; Dewart, Hazel; Zink, Inge – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2015
Background: For the early detection of children who are at risk of communication problems, we need appropriate assessment instruments. Two Dutch-language standardised screening instruments are available: the Dutch version of the Non Speech Test (NNST) and the Dutch version of the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories (N-CDIs). These…

Background: Understanding lexical abilities in infants and toddlers is important, yet no single tool can be used. Aims: To perform a validation of a new tool (known as the Picture Naming Game, or "PiNG") for assessing lexical comprehension and production in toddlers and to obtain developmental trends for Italian children. Methods &…

Vach, Werner; Bleses, Dorthe; Jorgensen, Rune – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
Several research groups have previously constructed short forms of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) for different languages. We consider the specific aim of constructing such a short form to be used for language screening in a specific age group. We present a novel strategy for the construction, which is applicable…

Thal, Donna; DesJardin, Jean L.; Eisenberg, Laurie S. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2007
Purpose: To examine the validity of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories (CDI) for measuring language abilities in children with profound hearing loss who are using cochlear implants. Method: Twenty-four children with cochlear implants and their mothers participated in this study. Children ranged in age from 32 months to 86…

Heilmann, John; Weismer, Susan Ellis; Evans, Julia; Hollar, Christine – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2005
The present study investigated the validity of the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory (CDI) for a group of toddlers 30 months of age. Study 1 examined the concurrent validity of the CDI for a group of 38 late talkers. Significant correlations were found between the CDI and direct measures of language abilities. Study 2 used…

Peer reviewedThal, Donna J.; O'Hanlon, Laureen; Clemmons, Mary; Fralin, LaShon – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
Two studies examined the validity of parent report for measuring language in children with specific language delay using the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventories for comparison. Results suggest that parent report appears to be valid for measuring language production skills in this population. Validity was strongest for vocabulary…

Rescorla, Leslie; Ratner, Nan Bernstein; Jusczyk, Peter; Jusczyk, Anne Marie – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2005
This study examined the concurrent validity of the Language Development Survey (LDS), a 310-word parent report screening tool for language delay in toddlers, by testing its associations with the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventories: Words and Sentences (CDI:WS), a 680-word parent report instrument. Participants were 239 toddlers…
