Infants’ prelinguistic communicative acts and maternal responses: Relations to linguistic development (2014, result): “This suggests that infants’ initial developmental level should be taken into account when considering the role of maternal responses in children’s language development, as previous studies also showed that parent responses vary depending on the developmental level of infants’ communicative behaviors”
