This longitudinal study investigated the relationships between motor, gestural and linguistic abilities using two parent report instruments. Motor skills at 12 months significantly correlated with language production at 16,20 and 23 months, but these associations were mediated by the use of representational gestures.

Abstract
This longitudinal study investigated the relationships between motor, gestural and linguistic abilities using two parent report instruments. Motor skills at 12 months significantly correlated with language production at 16,20 and 23 months, but these associations were mediated by the use of representational gestures.
