The purpose of this longitudinal study was to determine whether the reported parallels between symbolic play and normal language development were evidenced in 6 children with developmental delays of varying etiologies. Subjects’ play and language behavior over a 6-month period was videotaped and analyzed during free play and modeling tasks. Although results supported the correspondences previously reported between normal language development and symbolic play, the variability across observations in the present subjects was more marked than expected. Implications for clinical assessment are discussed.

Skill Theory

The development of cognitive representation was studied longitudinally in 20 infants between the ages of 12 and 24 months with regard to (1) children's understanding of agency in symbolic play (agent use), (2) recognition of their own mirror image, and (3) object permanence. Results were generally consistent with developmental sequences predicted by Fischer's Skill Theory for agent use and self-recognition. Agent use scale items developed in exactly the predicted sequence, although as might be expected, the predicted microdevelopmental steps among the first three scale items were smaller than the predicted macro-developmental step between those items and the final one. Self-recognition scale items also developed in the predicted sequence, except that children's ability to find a toy from its reflection, and their ability to detect red spots on their noses by looking in a mirror, emerged at the same time instead of in sequence. Also found was a predicted horizontal decalage in cognitive representation across the three content domains: Cognitive representation was found to develop first for object permanence, then for self-recognition and agent use in that order. This result was interpreted in terms of the numbers of different schemes theoretically coordinated in each performance.

Normal Status

This study is a posthumous longitudinal study of consecutive letters written by an elderly woman from age 89 to 93. Findings reveal a consistent linguistic performance during the first 3 years, supporting “normal” status for late elderly writing. She produced clearly written cursive form, intact semantic content, and minimal spelling and stroke errors. A decline in writing was observed in the last 6–9 months of the study and an analysis revealed production of clausal fragmentation, decreasing semantic clarity, and a higher frequency of spelling, semantic, and stroke errors. Analysis of writing samples can be a valuable tool in documenting a change in cognitive status differentiated from normal late aging.
