沟通发展量表（CDIs）是父母报告的词汇量和语言发展的其他方面的措施，在非常年幼的孩子。在过去的20年里，它们已经发展成为最受认可的婴儿语言评估之一。特别重要的是，CDI是同类措施中第一个被广泛翻译和改编成许多不同语言使用的措施。这些清单具有多种功能，包括测量早期语言习得，获得语言习得的规范性数据，以及识别和描述早期语言明显延迟的儿童。本文综述了CDIs的发展，总结了大量的研究，已产生的措施的应用范围，并评估其目前的地位作为一种研究工具，并作为一种临床措施。关键从业者信息：CDIs是早期语言发展研究中最常用的研究工具之一，尽管它们被广泛使用，但人们对其有效性和可靠性表示担忧，尽管它们是通用的，有效的和有效的，但它们不应该被认为是儿童语言评估的灵丹妙药，特别是用于预测持续的语言延迟。
The Communicative Development Inventories (CDIs) are parent report measures of vocabulary and other aspects of language development in very young children. They have evolved over the past 20 years to be one of the most well recognised assessments of infant language. Of particular significance is the fact that the CDIs are the first measures of their kind to be widely translated and adapted for use in many different languages. The inventories have served a variety of functions including measuring early language acquisition, deriving normative data on language acquisition, and both identifying and describing children whose early language is significantly delayed. This review describes the development of the CDIs, summarises the volume of research that has been generated in a range of applications of the measures, and evaluates their current standing both as a research tool and as a clinical measure. Issues around the sensitivity and predictive value of the CDIs are also considered.Key Practitioner Message:CDIs are one of the most commonly used research tools in the study of early language developmentDespite their wide use there are concerns about their validity and reliabilityAlthough they are versatile, efficient and valid, they should not be considered a panacea for child language assessment and particularly for predicting persistent language delay.
