Adaptación de los inventarios de desarrollo comunicativo MacArthur-Bates - CDI al español regional (La Plata y Gran La Plata)

Abstract

Reportedly the first activities undertaken on the adaptation to the Inventories of the Development of Communicative Skills MacArthur - Bates to the regional Spanish involving teachers, researchers and students of the Faculty of Psychology of the UNLP. These inventories provide systematic, fast and way simple info from parents on the language of their children. They comprise two forms: one for children of 8 to 15 months and the other for children from 16 to 30 months. Even though there are versions in Spanish, dialectal peculiarities of the rioplatense spanish demand its adaptation to be used in the country. The interest of such a task lies in ease of application, in the validity and reliability of the results obtained on linguistic development of young children, allowing detection and prognosis of any delays in the language.
