It is suggested that metalinguistic abilities may serve as potential test measures for facility in learning a second language. School children (ages 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13) were tested for their ability to detect ambiguous…

This study evaluated (1) whether the metalinguistic difficulties of younger children with language impairments are similar to those of older children and (2) whether there are any age differences in the ability of children to use encoding and retrieval strategies provided them. Fifty-two younger children (ages 5.0 to 8.9 years) and 88 older…
