Con la finalidad de comprobar si el desfase o desajuste entre el proceso de comprensión y producción del léxico, que es muy evidente en el niño durante las primeras etapas de adquisición del lenguaje, se manifiesta aún entre los 24 y los 36 meses, y si es igualmente patente para distintas categorías gramaticales, se ha trabajado con 40 palabras pertenecientes a dos de ellas, y diversos campos léxicos y dos tareas de producción y comprensión. Los resultados procedentes de 20 niños de las edades citadas, nos permiten afirmar que existe ese desfase a favor de la comprensión—se comprende antes de poder producer—y a favor de los sustantivos frente a los verbos.
