Twenty-four language-disordered children (ages 3-8 years) were trained, through modeling with a problem-solving set, to produce a question form involving a "wh" word--"who", "what", or "where"--in a structure requiring either auxiliary "is" or auxiliary "does." (Author)

The study examined the relationship between the accuracy of repetition of syntactic structures and phonological sequences by language disordered children, and examined the effect of meaning on the phonological sequence repetition accuracy of a group of language disordered and normal speaking children.

The effects of sentence length and structure on the accuracy of sentence repition by 13 normal speaking and 13 language disordered children were compared. (Author)

A 16-year-old boy, first seen at 4 years of age because of his severe language difficulties, was reexamined to provide data on the later functioning of language-delayed children. (Author/DB)

Examined with 15 linguistically normal and 15 linguistically deviant male children (5 to 7-years-old) was the ability to judge as right or wrong, and to change the sentences judged as wrong, three types of agrammatical sentences. (IM)

The syntactic proficiency of 67 learning disabled children was evaluated during a task requiring them to convey information to a listener. Learning disabled children in all grades were found to produce shorter mean main clauses than nondisabled children even on this relatively simple communicative task. (Author/SEW)

Data on 81 children (3 to 12 years old) enrolled in special education and regular classrooms were studied in order to examine the correlations between scores on various subtests of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities (ITPA) and scores on several other standardized tests commonly used in the diagnosis of language disabilities, and to…
