McDuffie, Andrea S.; Sindberg, Heidi A.; Hesketh, Linda J.; Chapman, Robin S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2007
Purpose: The authors asked whether adolescents with Down syndrome (DS) could fast-map novel nouns and verbs when word learning depended on using the speaker's pragmatic or syntactic cues. Compared with typically developing (TD) comparison children, the authors predicted that syntactic cues would prove harder for the group with DS to use and that…
