Summary/Abstract: Different versions of the Finnish Communicative Development Inventories (FinCDIs) have been used in multiple studies. The research topics include descriptions of typical language development, longitudinal associations between early and later language ability, and investigations of the effect of background factors on language development. The FinCDIs have been applied in typical populations as well as in specific populations (e.g., preterm children). Further research is needed on the use of the FinCDIs to assess language development in older or multilingual children, in cross-linguistic studies, as well as in clinical populations. Different versions of the FinCDIs are being utilised in ongoing studies, which will provide novel information in the future.
