ABSTRACT

This study examined the role of auditory memory in early vocabulary acquisition and picture-book reading. A total of 309 24-month-old-infants and their mothers participated in the study. Infants completed a phonological memory task, a pattern repetition task, and a Corsi-block task. They also completed PPVT(Kim, Chang, Lim, & Beck, 1995). Mothers of the infants completed a vocabulary checklist(Pae, 2002) and filled in a questionnaire measuring their picture-book reading activities at home. In general, high auditory memory ability was associated with more expressive and receptive words. Also more vocabulary was associated with more frequent, longer and more focused picture-book reading activities. Findings suggest that the importance of auditory memory, especially, phonological memory, on early vocabulary acquisition.
