Maternal Interactive Behavior	Frequencies of occurrence of 10 categories of behavior were tallied in four viewings of videotaped parent-child interaction. The categories were: labeling, use of color names, verbalization of actions, verbalization of number and shape, solicitation of information from the child, verbal praise, encouragement of divergent use of a toy, nonverbal indication of warmth, reply to child's vocalization, and failure to reply to child's vocalization.	Video recording of parent-child interaction	Pearson's r = 0.48 to 0.74 Cronbach's α = 0.82
