Linguistic Maze Production by Children and Adolescents with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Peer reviewed
Direct linkBangert, Katherine J.; Finestack, Lizbeth H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Previous investigations reveal that children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) produce elevated rates of linguistic mazes (i.e., filled pauses, repetitions, revisions, and/or abandoned utterances) in expressive language samples (Redmond, 2004).

This study used a micro-analytic technique to examine how two facets…
