Beyond breadth of vocabulary
This study investigates the impact of socio-economic status (SES) on children's vocabulary, focusing on the distinction between vocabulary breadth (number of words known) and vocabulary depth (quality of word knowledge). It aims to determine whether SES affects both dimensions equally and whether the relationship between SES and vocabulary depth is mediated by vocabulary breadth. Participants were 219 children schooled in France in fourth and fif…
From a Molar to a Molecular Approach to the Developmental Trajectory of Syntax Comprehension of Persons with Intellectual Disability
The aim of our study was to investigate whether the developmental trajectories of syntax comprehension of participants with or without intellectual disability are comparable. We obtained results from a syntax comprehension test of 615 typically developing participants (mean chronological age = 4.61 years, SD = 0.85) and 615 participants with intellectual disability (mean chronological age = 12.22 years, SD = 3.14) matched on a nonverbal cognitive…
Morphological awareness and learning to read
Background In addition to phonological processing and vocabulary, morphological awareness has been clearly identified as contributing to learning to read. While the impact of socio‐economic status (SES) has been identified for both phonological processing and vocabulary, less is known about the SES influence on morphological awareness and its relationship to reading achievement. The study had two aims: to assess the net effect of SES on morpholog…

Item Purification Does Not Always Improve DIF Detection
Item purification is an iterative process that is often advocated as improving the identification of items affected by differential item functioning (DIF). With test-score-based DIF detection methods, item purification iteratively removes the items currently flagged as DIF from the test scores to get purified sets of items, unaffected by DIF. The purpose of this article is to highlight that item purification is not always useful and that a single…
Chronological Age and Performance of Persons With Mental Retardation on Verbal Subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children-Revised, French Version
Chronological Age and Performance of Persons with Mental Retardation on Verbal Subtests of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children—Revised, French Version
The Influence of chronological age on verbal intelligence of persons with metal retardation was studied using the French version of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children--Revised. Participants were 1,101 children and adolescents divided into two groups according to the severity of metal retardation. The first group included 551 participants with moderate mental retardation, the second 550 participants with mild mental retardation. Analyses…
Chronological Age and Receptive Vocabulary of Persons With Down Syndrome
The Test de Vocabulaire en Images (the French version of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale were administered to 29 participants with Down syndrome aged 6.1 yr. to 13.0 yr. Analysis indicated a significant association between chronological age and the Test de Vocabulaire en Images mental age. This finding seems to suggest that the relationship between chronological age and the receptive vocabulary of perso…
Chronological Age and Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test Performance of Persons with Mental Retardation
The Test de Vocabulaire en Images (the French version of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) and the Columbia Mental Maturity Scale were administered to 44 persons with mental retardation who were aged 6.8 yr. to 18.2 yr. Analysis indicated a significant influence of chronological age on the Test de Vocabulaire en Images Mental Age. This influence of chronological age probably explains why receptive vocabulary tests consistently overestimate the…
Evaluation of Toy Variation on Engagement in a Leisure Activity of Two Children with Profound Multiple Handicaps
We conducted two studies to examine whether satiation occurs during leisure activities for children with profound multiple handicaps and whether it can be prevented by the alternate use of a sufficient number of different toys. The two studies were done in a training program in which the use of a switch connected to battery-operated toys was taught to two children with profound multiple handicaps. In Study I (Child 1), two experimental conditions…
