“…Right and left concepts are usually introduced and very much used at school. The scarce use of these terms by LSES parents may be due in part to differences related to the spatial organization of the environment were children everyday life occurs and the scarce years of formal education of SES parents (Báez y Gómez, 2000;Alonqueo & Orellana, 2013;Boudon & Cid, 2012).…”

This study explored whether parental directions about location differ by socioeconomic status (SES) and whether children’s performance is associated with parental spatial directions. We designed a task in which parents hid a toy in one of five identical boxes in a small-scale space, and then verbally guided their children’s search. Middle-SES(MSES) parents employed more language in general than low-SES(LSES) parents. However, groups used the same amount of spatial terms, suggesting that providing effective spatial directions is probably a matter of quality than quantity. Parents differed in the use of frames of reference; withLSESparents scarcely using them, which resulted in ambiguous reference.MSESparents showed a higher rate of person frames of reference and proximity terms, and their children performed better in the task. Our results suggest that spatial communication including person frames of reference combined with proximity information might be an effective strategy to communicate location.
