We also found that infants who both explored more and received more spatial language input had stronger spatial vocabularies later on.
This suggests a cascading developmental effect shaped by early experiences.

On average, spatial input co-occurred with 44% of object exploration events.
This co-occurrence differed by group:
-Preterm: 36.1%
-Full-term: 52.1%

We found that preterm and full-term infants showed similar levels of object exploration.
However, parents of preterm infants used significantly less spatial language during play sessions.

You might wonder: do infants actually know spatial words before age 3?
According to parent reports, many do! Our results from CDI showed that infants in our sample were already producing several spatial terms by 26 months.
Here’s a summary from our data👇
