Marinis, Theodoros; Saddy, Douglas – Language Acquisition: A Journal of Developmental Linguistics, 2013
Twenty-five monolingual (L1) children with specific language impairment (SLI), 32 sequential bilingual (L2) children, and 29 L1 controls completed the Test of Active & Passive Sentences-Revised (van der Lely 1996) and the Self-Paced Listening Task with Picture Verification for actives and passives (Marinis 2007). These revealed important…

Wiersema, Jan R.; van der Meere, Jacob J.; Roeyers, Herbert – Neuropsychologia, 2007
The aim of the study was to investigate the developmental trajectory of error monitoring. For this purpose, children (age 7-8), young adolescents (age 13-14) and adults (age 23-24) performed a Go/No-Go task and were compared on overt reaction time (RT) performance and on event-related potentials (ERPs), thought to reflect error detection…

Normal 6-, 7-, and 8-year-olds performed better than language impaired age-matched peers, and language-impaired 9- and 10-year-olds performed better than younger impaired subjects. (Author/DB)

Visual selective attention is the ability to attend to relevant visual information and ignore irrelevant stimuli. Little is known about its typical and atypical development in early childhood. Experiment 1 investigates typically developing toddlers' visual search for multiple targets on a touch-screen. Time to hit a target, distance between…
