how idiosyncratic are children?

[Philip Dale]

I’ve had quite a number of expressions of interest in this paper. I’m checking with my co-authors first to get permission to distribute the paper, and once I have that (in the next week or so, I imagine), I will just post it here on this list as an attachment.

I agree completely with Linda  - the CDI is only useful for variability relatively close to the normal range, i.e., words on the list that show up relatively late or early compared to other children of the same vocabulary size. It complete misses 'far' variability in the sense of words that aren't on the list at all. Useful for some research questions, not others.
