Montgomery, James W.; Magimairaj, Beula M.; Finney, Mianisha C. – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2010
Purpose: Children with specific language impairment (SLI) demonstrate significant language impairments despite normal-range hearing and nonverbal IQ. Many of these children also show marked deficits in working memory (WM) abilities. However, the theoretical and clinical characterization of the association between WM and language limitations in SLI…

Conti-Ramsden, Gina; And Others – British Journal of Special Education, 1995
Comparison of 15 English children (mean age 7.5 years) with specific language difficulties and 12 similar children with mathematical difficulties found few differences in their ability to process 2- and 3-digit numbers. Results suggest that a language difficulty may underlie delayed performance in mathematics. (DB)

McGregor, Karla K.; Friedman, Rena M.; Reilly, Renee M.; Newman, Robyn M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002
Two experiments examined children's semantic representations and semantic naming errors. Results suggested that functional and physical properties are core aspects of object representations in the semantic lexicon and that the degree of semantic knowledge makes words more or less vulnerable to retrieval failure. Discussion focuses on the dynamic…

Small, Steven L. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1994
Connectionist (parallel distributed processing) modeling provides a new way to approach the neurological study of language. This method focuses on the interplay between a computational model and the appropriate neurological, neuropsychological, and speech and language data, couched in connectionist mechanisms that map naturally to what is known of…

Snow, David P.; Kiernan, Barbara J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
This study, with 30 preschool children with specific language impairment (SLI) and 30 controls, found a dissociation between limited learning of training targets (words, affixed forms) and limited bound-morpheme generalization (BMG) performance. Results suggest limited BMG reflects problems not with storage or access of facts but with the…

Kamhi, Alan G.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1995
The hypothesis that children with specific language impairments (SLI) have a hierarchical planning deficit was evaluated with 15 boys (ages 5 to 7) with SLI and 15 controls, who built 4 hierarchical structures varying in complexity. Results did not support the idea that a central hierarchical planning mechanism underlies language and nonlanguage…

Children's Auditory Lexical Decisions: A Limited Processing Capacity Account of Language Impairment.

Windsor, Jennifer; Hwang, Mina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
Twenty-three children (ages 10 to 12) with language impairment and 46 typically achieving adults participated in two auditory lexical-decision tasks evaluating effects of phonological opacity on word recognition. Findings indicated that the language-impaired children were less able than controls to identify phonologically opaque…

Cain, Kate, Ed.; Oakhill, Jane, Ed. – Guilford Publications, 2007
Comprehension is the ultimate aim of reading and listening. How do children develop the ability to comprehend written and spoken language, and what can be done to help those who are having difficulties? This book presents cutting-edge research on comprehension problems experienced by children without any formal diagnosis as well as those with…

Trehub, Sandra E.; Henderson, Joanna L. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1996
The MacArthur Communicative Development Inventory (a parent-report measure of vocabulary and syntax) was administered to 103 children (mean age 103 months) who participated in a study of temporal resolution as infants. Children who had performed above the median on the temporal resolution task demonstrated better later language development than…

Tager-Flusberg, Helen – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 1996
This paper discusses language and communication deficits observed in autism within the framework of the "theory of mind" hypothesis, which posits that autistic individuals have profound difficulty interpreting a person's actions within a mentalistic framework. Placing language and communicative deficits within a theory of mind framework…

Rice, Mabel L.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1994
This study compared factors contributing to Quick Incidental Learning of new vocabulary by 50 5-year olds with specific language impairment (SLI) and 2 comparison groups. Although SLI children exhibited a robust representational mapping ability, performance was modulated by a minimum input constraint and apparent problems with storage into…

Moses, Nelson; Shapiro, David A. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996
A taxonomy for assessing development of speech-language clinicians based upon cognitive learning theory was applied in the analysis of videotaped clinical sessions involving three student clinicians. Developmental profiles in three areas of clinical problem solving (perspective taking, variables considered, and solutions generated) were derived.…
