Mean Length of Utterance of Children with Down Syndrome.

Rondal, Jean A.; And Others

American Journal of Mental Retardation, v93 n1 p64-66 Jul 1988

Mean length of utterance (MLU) of 15 Down's Syndrome children, aged 2-12, was examined and found to correlate highly with chronological age despite the children's language delays, at least up to MLU 3.00. MLU also predicted complexity and diversity of bound morphemes and major syntactic structures from MLU 1.00-3.50. (Author/JDD)
