Question 61 • RYLE25 - PSYCHOLOGY - FULL CREDIT

Which of the following statements concerning language development is not correct?

Answer
A
Toddlers will often make errors in their early attempts at using words.
B
A toddler’s early words often represent more objects than actions.
C
Children generally learn more nouns before verbs.
D
Toddlers can often speak more words than they can understand.

Explanation

Toddlers usually understand more words than they can say. Their receptive vocabulary is typically larger than their spoken vocabulary, so the statement that they can speak more words than they understand is not correct. Early word-use errors are common, and young children often learn many nouns before verbs.
