This investigation examined the relation between features of the home environment (HOME Scale) and domains of development (Griffiths Scales) in 6-month-olds. The sample consisted of 155 families with diverse demographic characteristics who were part of a larger study. Data were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. More favorable eye-hand development was associated with more availability of appropriate play materials. The interaction of appropriate play materials and maternal involvement was related to both social and hearing-speech development. For the infants who had high exposure to appropriate play materials, social and hearing-speech development was more optimal if their mothers were highly involved with them. The analyses were conducted separately for low (n = 87) and middlelhigh (n = 55) socioeconomic status groups from the sample. Partial replication of the interaction effect was present for the middle/high group, but not for the low group. Findings support the importance of examining interaction as well as additive effects of the impact of early environment for relatively large samples in which there is a diversity of experiences. Cette enquète a examiné la relation entre les traits du milieu familial (Echelle HOME) et les domaines de développement (Echelles Griffiths) chez des bébés de 6 mois. L'échantillon témoin a consisté en 155 familles aux caractéristiques démographiques diverses, et qui firent partie d'une étude plus grande. Les données ont été analysées en utilisant une régression hiérarchique multiple. Un développement plus favorable oeil-main était associé à une plus grande disponibilité de matériels de jeu appropriés. L'interac-tion de matériels de jeu appropriés et de la participation maternelle était liée au développement social et aussi au développement de l'ouïe et de la parole. En ce qui concerne les bébés très exposés à des matériels de jeu appropriés, le développement de l'ouïe et de la parole était plus optimal si leurs mères étaient très liées à eux. Les analyses ont été conduites séparément pour les groupes de l'échantillon de statut socio-éonomique bas (n = 87) et moyen/haut (n = 55). Une réplique partielle de l'effet d'interaction était présente en ce qui concerne le groupe “moyen/haut,” mais pas en ce qui concerne le groupe “bas.” Les résultats confirment l'importance de l'examen de l'interaction ainsi que les effets additifs de l'impact du milieu précoce pour des échantillons relativement grands dans lesquels on trouve une diversité d'expériences.
