Abstract: A process-oriented research strategy was employed to examine relations among various aspects of the early home environment and children's language development. Infants' home environments were assessed when they were 6 and 24 months old with the Home Observation for Measurement of the Environment (HOME). When 3 years of age, each child was administered the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities. Results demonstrated that it is possible to specify some of the parameters of early experience related to certain aspects of language development. The HOME subscales "Emotional and Verbal Responsivity of Mother," "Provision of Appropriate Play Materials," and "Maternal Involvement with Child" showed the strongest overall relation to language competence. Among the 10 psycholinguistic abilities measured, auditory reception, auditory association, visual association, and grammatical closure were most strongly associated with the quality of stimulation found in the early environment. Relations differed somewhat depending on the race and sex of the child. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
