Sensitivity of narrative organization measures using narrative retells produced by young school-age children
Analysis of children’s productions of oral narratives provides a rich description of children’s oral language skills. However, measures of narrative organization can be directly affected by both developmental and task-based performance constraints which can make a measure insensitive and inappropriate for a particular population and/or sampling method. This study critically reviewed four methods of evaluating children’s narrative organization ski…
Oral Language and Reading in Bilingual Children
This article examines the question: Do lexical, syntactic, fluency, and discourse measures of oral language collected under narrative conditions predict reading achievement both within and across languages for bilingual children? More than 1,500 Spanish–English bilingual children attending kindergarten–third grade participated. Oral narratives were collected in each language along with measures of Passage Comprehension and Word Reading Efficiency…
The structure of mother-child play
The structure of mother–child play
This study explored developmental changes and effects of Down syndrome on mothers' structuring of their children's play. Mothers and their young children with Down syndrome (n = 28) were compared with socioeconomically matched samples of mothers and their mental age-matched (n = 28) and chronological age-matched (n = 28) typically developing children. Mothers of typically developing children exhibited more object demonstrations with their develop…
Early receptive and productive language skills in preterm and full-term 8-month-old infants
Mothers' speech to their 1-year-old infants in home and laboratory settings
Using microcomputers to advance research in language disorders
We are at a critical point in advancing our knowledge of language disorders in both children and adults. The past decade of research has made clear that human verbal communication can no longer be productively studied in isolation from cognitive, social, and physiological developments. The complexity of verbal communication, the length of the acquisition period, the basis of its origins, and the variety of disorders documented to date require bro…
Length Variables in Sentence Imitation
The present study was designed to determine which of three indices of sentence length most effectively predicted pre-schooler's correct sentence imitations : total number of words; number of content words only; or the density of content words within a sentence. Twenty-four pre-school children, mean age 3.11 years, were asked to imitate 32 sentences which varied in total number of words, number of content words, and lexical density. Analysis of th…
Sentence Imitation in Pre-School Children
Surface structure complexity, transformational sentence type and sentence length were investigated as variables in a sentence imitation task with pre-school children. Sentences were varied on Yngve depth (High-Low), transformational sentence type (active, negative, wh- question and passive) and sentence length (5-9 words). Sentence length was found to affect sentence imitation in a consistent manner. As sentence length increased, correct imitatio…
