Probing the depth of infants’ theory of mind: Disunity in performance across paradigms (2017, methodology): “The Level- 1 short form of the McArthur- Bates Communicative Inventory was administered in French or English to control for infants’ verbal ability (Fenson et al., 2000; Trudeau, Frank, & Poulin- Dubois, 1999).”
Phenotypic "g" Early in Life: On the Etiology of General Cognitive Ability in a Large Population Sample of Twin Children Aged 2-4 Years. (2003, methodology): “The vocabulary measure given at 2 years consisted of a list of 100 words that predicts the 680-word original version of the MCDI with very high accuracy (r=.98) (Fenson et al., 2000).”
Strong systematicity through sensorimotor conceptual grounding: an unsupervised, developmental approach to connectionist sentence processing (2012, methodology): “A total of 352 concrete nouns were selected from the MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI; Fenson et al. 2000) and rated across the 97 feature dimensions by undergraduate participants, while 89 early and / or prototypical verbs from the MCDI as well as Goldberg (1999) were similarly r”

A Model of Grounded Language Acquisition: Sensorimotor Features Improve Lexical and Grammatical Learning. (2005, methodology): “Ratings were collected for 352 noun concepts from the Mac- Arthur Communicative Development Inventory (MCDI, Fenson et al., 2000) in 38 separate phases with approximately 10 concepts each during winter, 2002.”
