'Ramesh can count objects and he knows only 1500 to 1900 words'. Then Ramesh may be in the stage of ....................
Answer: B
Ramesh is likely in the pre-childhood (early childhood) stage.
Classic vocabulary norms (Madorah Smith, 1926) put a child's vocabulary at about 1,500 words at four years and about 2,000 at five. Counting objects also develops in the preschool years. A vocabulary of 1,500 to 1,900 words therefore places a child at about four to five years, in the early childhood stage.
In infancy, up to about two years, children know only a few hundred words at most. By later childhood, from about six to twelve, vocabulary grows well beyond 2,500 words, and adolescents know many thousands. So only pre-childhood fits.
