Keywords

• children's comprehension at an early age is an essential precursor to their verbal and nonverbal abilities at an older age. however
• an objective assessment of the level of understanding is also very problematic at an early age. direct examination of the child by experts requires the correct motivation on the part of the child and reliable interpretation of the results of the assessment by experts. in this study
• we present one of the direct approaches to examining understanding through the subtest of the munich functional developmental diagnostics (köhler - coulin
• 1981). we adapted the subtest items to slovak-speaking children and
• at the same time
• verified the validity of the whole subtest in the assessment of comprehension through the test of communication behaviour questionnaire (kapalková et al.
• 2010). finally
• the study presents the pilot results of the evaluation of children (n = 35 children) aged 17-36 months
