SUMMARY: British version of the MacArthur CDI?

[Patrick Griffiths]

The following people were kind enough to respond to my query of 12 November
regarding a UK adaptation of the CDI.  Many thanks to all of you!

Sonia Mariscal
Carmel Houston-Price
Annabelle David
Virginia Marchman
A.Karmiloff-Smith
Marilyn Nippold
Philip Dale
Tom Klee

Here is a list of the main points that I very much appreciate having gained:

A section of the CDI website lists adaptations and contact information:
	http://www.sci.sdsu.edu/cdi/foreign.html

A 412-item form "typically" used for the age range 11-26 months, can be
downloaded from the Oxford Baby Lab website:

	http://epwww.psych.ox.ac.uk/babylab/BabyLabResearch.htm

This is described in a paper by Antonia Hamilton, Kim Plunkett & Graham
Schafer (2000)  JCL 27: 689-705.

Tom Klee and Claire Harrison, at the U of Newcastle upon Tyne, did a British
English adaptation of the Toddler CDI, which they gave a paper on at the
most recent Child Language Seminar.

A 100-item short form of the CDI, adapted to British English, was developed
by Philip Dale. See the following paper:

Plomin et al (1998) Nature Neuroscience, 1: 324-8.

Again, my thanks
