本研究目的在透過縱貫性研究探討12-24個月典型發展幼兒的溝通意圖功能發展對其三年後語言能力表現之預測性。研究者以12-24個月幼兒為研究對象，觀察他們150卷CSBS-DP及113卷Toy-set影片，兩者均具有良好的評分者間信度，接著採用單因子變異數分析、相依樣本單因子變異數分析及LSD事後比較等方法以分析各組差異。並追蹤如今已達4至5歲之研究個案，使用華語兒童理解與表達詞彙測驗(REVT)進行孩童語言能力的評估，再分別以CSBS-DP及Toy-set與REVT進行Pearson積差相關及多元迴歸分析。

本研究結果如下：
一、半結構化情境與自由情境之溝通意圖能力表現達低度相關。
二、12-24個月幼兒的溝通意圖發展變化：在CSBS-DP量表中，情緒與眼光注視、跟隨指示、溝通頻率和行為調控等四個變項上之發展達顯著差異；在一年施測三次之幼兒，在行為調控與溝通意圖總分的發展達顯著差異。在Toy-set中之項目皆未達發展差異性。
三、12-24個月時溝通意圖功能對其未來語言表現的預測性：CSBS-DP量表之注視轉移與理解量表間呈負相關；社會互動與全量表間呈正相關。Toy-set之行為調控與理解量表及全量表間呈負相關；相互注意協調能力與全量表間呈負相關。

This is a three-year longitudinal study exploring the predication of communicative intention development of 12-24 months typically developing children.
As the research began, the researcher needed to collect data of communicative intention behaviors of 12-24 months typically developing children by their 150 CSBS-DP and 113 Toy-set videos, which both have good inter-rater reliability, and analyzed the differences among the four groups of subjects by one-way ANOVA, dependent sample ANOVA, and LSD Post Hoc comparisons.
Three years after the assessments, the researcher followed up the language development of those children who are already 4-5 years old, using Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test (REVT) to assess their language abilities, and then discussed CSBS-DP and Toy-set with REVT for Pearson's correlation and multiple regression analysis.
The major findings of this study were summarized as following :
1.The correlation between semi-structured and freedom situation of intentional abilities is low.
2.The communicative intentions development in 12-24 months children: In the CSBS-DP scale, emotion and eye gaze, gaze following, rate of communication, and behavior regulation development are significant differences. There are no significant differences on Toy-set scale.
3.Predictive data analysis in 12-24 months of intentions and language: In CSBS-DP, gaze shift and receptive scale show negative correlation; social interaction and full scale show positive correlation. In Toy-set, behavior regulation , receptive scale and full scale; joint attention and full scale show negative correlation.
