The present study aimed to develop this proposition and to confirm it with experimental data, more…

Performance of Kindergarten through Fifth-Grade Children on Oral Rote Sequencing and Semiautomated Language Tasks.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Normal-hearing elementary school-age children (N=180) performed rote sequencing language tasks, named colors, and told their birthday. For the six automatic and semiautomatic expressive language tasks, maturational trends were noted for all observations. Central tendency values and standard deviations by grades for the six tasks are reported.…

A program for teaching relational vocabulary in classroom settings has three receptive steps for identifying the target word and three expressive steps for using the target word. These methods focus on the systematic modification of both example presentation (including non-defining characteristics and situational distractions) and response…
