Parental recall of language milestones

[Alcock, Katie]

Does anyone know of any research into the accuracy of parental recall of
language milestones, after the event (at whatever time interval)? I know
parental recall of milestones is used in medical research, but I can't
find any research into their accuracy either for motor or language
milestones; there seems to be a little on language loss in children with
subsequently diagnosed autism but again I can't find any work validating
the actual parent report.

Thanks
