Description The present investigation was carried out in Hisar and Rohtak districts of
Haryana to assess the vocabulary development of rural preschooler. Experimental
material comprised 200 preschoolers selected from both the districts Hisar (100) and
Rohtak (100) during the age of 2 to 3½ years. Results regarding profile of children
indicated that majority of children were third born, had two silbings, belonged to
medium level of education, labour occupation, housewife mothers, large size of families
and medium level of income and having low level home environment. No significant
difference were observed in both the age groups on Reynell scale, but significant
difference over Vineland scale and location and no significant difference observed in
both age groups in intelligence testings. Regression and correlation coefficient showed
that vocabulary and intelligence were positively related with each others. Reynell
language scale and Bayley scales shows high relationship between language and
intelligence.
Among socio-economic factors family income in Hisar and educational and
occupational status of parents in Rohtak were the most important factors in terms of
their association with dependent variable.
In home environment, language stimulation and variety in experience in Hisar,
learning stimulation, physical stimulation and academic stimulation in Rohtak were
significantly associated with vocabulary development. In both the states significant
association was found between warmth and affection and modelling with vocabulary
development.
