PURPOSE The authors investigated continuity and discontinuity of vocabulary skills in a population-based cohort in the Netherlands. METHOD Mothers of 3,759 children completed the Dutch version of the MacArthur Short Form Vocabulary Checklist (Zink & Lejaegere, 2003) at 18 months and a Dutch translation of the Language Development Survey (Rescorla, 1989) at 30 months. At both ages, expressive vocabulary delay was defined as vocabulary scores <10th age- and gender-specific percentile. RESULTS…

Early vocabulary delay and behavioral/emotional problems in early childhood: the generation R study.
TLDR
This population-based study showed modest associations between vocabulary delay and behavioral/emotional problems detectable from 18 months onward.
Early Vocabulary in Relation to Gender, Bilingualism, Type, and Duration of Childcare
TLDR
It shows that in the absence of educational disadvantages the duration of early daycare experience of high structural quality is positively associated with vocabulary size but also points to the fact that environmental characteristics, such as type of care, might affect boys’ and girls’ early vocabulary in different ways.
Predicting Literacy Skills at 8 Years From Preschool Language Trajectories: A Population-Based Cohort Study.
TLDR
This study supports the longitudinal association between preschool oral language and school-aged literacy skills and highlights the importance of different LD trajectories across preschool ages in predicting later literacy, and recommends to consider gender-specific cutoffs in relation to language and literacy measures.
Early prediction of language and literacy problems: is 18 months too early?
TLDR
It would not be appropriate to use expressive vocabulary measures alone to screen for language difficulties at 18 months, but children with language impairment at age 4 are at risk of enduring difficulties.
Early Language Delay Phenotypes and Correlation with Later Linguistic Abilities
TLDR
The results highlight the negative effect of early language delay on language skills up to the age of 3 years and lend support to the current literature regarding the universal linguistic picture of early and persistent language delay.
Do infant vocabulary skills predict school-age language and literacy outcomes?
TLDR
Significant longitudinal relationships between preliteracy vocabulary knowledge and subsequent reading support the theory that vocabulary is a cognitive foundation of both reading accuracy and reading comprehension.
Language Status at Age 3: Group and Individual Prediction From Vocabulary Comprehension in the Second Year
TLDR
Decontextualized vocabulary comprehension late in the second year provided the best balance between model fit and parsimony in predicting language skills at age three, and how early stable predictions to language outcomes can be made.
Early language delay : a study of the evolving language environments of preschool children
Primary language impairment (PLI) affects approximately one in 20 young children, who may have difficulties with language in later life. The importance of parent-child interaction (PCI) for language…
Risk and protective environmental factors for early bilingual language acquisition
Young children’s vocabulary skills impact their phonological, semantic and syntactic development (Chiat 2000). It is inevitable, therefore, that small expressive vocabularies showing laboured growth…

Language delay in a community cohort of young children.
TLDR
When social competence is adjusted for in the multivariable model, behavior problems are no longer associated with language delay, suggesting that poor social competence rather than behavior problems may be the critical early correlate of low expressive language development.
Age 17 language and reading outcomes in late-talking toddlers: support for a dimensional perspective on language delay.

TLDR
Results suggest that slow language development at 24-31 months is associated with a weakness in language-related skills into adolescence relative to skills manifested by typically developing peers--findings that are consistent with a dimensional perspective on language delay.
Predicting Language at 2 Years of Age: A Prospective Community Study
TLDR
These early risk factors explained no more than 7% of the variation in language at 24 months, and seem unlikely to be helpful in screening for early language delay.
Use of the language development survey (LDS) in a national probability sample of children 18 to 35 months old.
TLDR
Correlations between LDS scores and problem scores on the CBCL/1 1/2-5 were low, indicating that language delay and emotional/behavior problems were not closely associated in this general population sample of children 18 to 35 months old.
Validation of the language development survey (LDS): a parent report tool for identifying language delay in toddlers.
Two studies are reported demonstrating the reliability, validity, and clinical utility of the Language Development Survey (LDS; L. Rescorla, 1989) as a screening tool for the identification of…
Outcomes of early language delay: I. Predicting persistent and transient language difficulties at 3 and 4 years.
TLDR
Relations between language and nonverbal abilities at 2 years and outcome at 3 and 4 years within the ELD group were highly statistically significant, effect sizes were small, and classification of outcome on the basis of data on 2-year-olds was far too inaccurate to be clinically useful.
Language development and symbolic play in children with and without familial risk for dyslexia.
TLDR
The findings suggest that children with a familial risk for dyslexia and with a history of late talking are at higher risk for delays in language acquisition than children without the familial risk.

TLDR
The Language Development Survey (LDS) was found to have excellent sensitivity and specificity for the identification of language delay, with a criterion of fewer than 50 words or no word combinations at 2 years yielding very low false positive and false negative rates.
Concurrent validity of the language development survey: associations with the MacArthur-Bates communicative development inventories: words and sentences.
TLDR
The study indicates that information obtained about rank ordering of toddlers in terms of their reported vocabulary and mean length of phrases is equivalent to that obtained from the longer CDI:WS.
Concurrent and predictive validity of parent reports of child language at ages 2 and 3 years.
TLDR
The findings suggest that satisfactory vocabulary scores at age 2 are likely to predict normal language skills at age 3, although some children with limited skills atAge 3 will have had satisfactory scores atage 2, and many children with poor vocabulary scoresat 2 will have normal skills at 3.
