BackgroundIn a community sample of slow-to-talk toddlers, we aimed to (a) quantify how well maternal responsive behaviors at age 2years predict language ability at age 4 and (b) examine whether maternal responsive behaviors more accurately predict low language status at age 4 than does expressive vocabulary measured at age 2years.Design or MethodsProspective community-based longitudinal study. At child age 18months, 1,138 parents completed a 100-word expressive vocabulary checklist within a population survey; 251 (22.1%) children scored 20th percentile and were eligible for the current study. Potential predictors at 2years were (a) responsive language behaviors derived from videotaped parent-child free-play samples and (b) late-talker status. Outcomes were (a) Clinical Evaluation of Language FundamentalsPreschool Second Edition receptive and expressive language standard score at 4years and (b) low language status (standard score>1.25 standard deviations below the mean on expressive or receptive language).ResultsTwo hundred eight (82.9% of 251) participants were retained to age 4. In adjusted linear regression analyses, maternal expansions predicted higher receptive (p
