✦ Synopsis
In this paper, elements of early mother-child interaction are related to later cognitive and linguistic outcomes in a sample of 53 high social risk mothers and their preschoolers. Mother-child interaction was observed longitudinally when the children were 13 and 20 months old. Multiple regression analyses were used to predict cognitive and linguistic outcomes at 3 and 5 years from measures of early mother-child interaction. The resulu indicated that the quality of early mother-child interaction was a significant predictor of preschool cognitive and linguistic outcomes. This was shown to be true regardless of the contribution of the mother's IQ.
RESUMEN: En este ensayo. se ponen en relacidn 10s elementos de la tcmprana interaccidn entre madre y nifio con 10s resultados cognitivos y lingiiisticos posteriores, en un conjunto-muestra de 53 madres de alto riesgo SOcial y sus nifios de edad preescolar. La interaccidn madre-niiio fue observada longitudinalmente cuando 10s niiios tenfan 13 y 20 meses de nacidos. Se usaron 10s analisis de regresidn mrIltiple pard predecir los resultados cognitivos y lingiiisticos a 10s 3 y 5 aiios, tomando en cuenta las medidas de la interaccidn temprana entre la madre y su nifio. Los resultados de la investigaci6n indicaron que la calidad de esa interaccidn era una medida significativa para predecir 10s posteriores resultados cognitivos y lingiiisticos preescolares. Se demonstr6 la veracidad de este hecho independientemente de la contribucibn del cuociente de inteligencia de la madre.
