Note. MLUw = mean length of utterance in words; NDW = number of different words (10 min adjusted); MTL = mean turn length in utterances (higher values indicate less turn-taking); QuesR = question rate (per 10 min); Resp% = percentage response to question. N = 119 except 109 for Test de Vocabulario en Imágenes Peabody: Adaptación Hispanoamericana (TVIP; Dunn et al., 1986) and 115 for mother Resp%. Statistics are Pearson correlations. Children's mean ages at Visits 1 and 2 were 2.5 and 3.6 years, respectively.
