This study aimed to investigate associations between Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) attendance,…

Lim, Lisa; Arciuli, Joanne; Rickard Liow, Susan; Munro, Natalie – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2014
This study examined whether there are processing differences between children with Down syndrome (DS; n = 22; 7 years 8 months to 13 years 10 months) and typically developing children (TD; n = 22; 6 years 6 months to 10 years 10 months), matched for receptive vocabulary. The TD children performed better on tests of nonverbal intelligence…
