  • Measuring nonverbal cognition in toddlers with autism spectrum disorder

  • Immersion in dual-language programs does not impede children’s native language processing

    Open AccessArmand Neveu, Ishanti Gangopadhyay et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of…2023

    Aims and Objectives: The benefits of dual-language immersion (DLI) versus English-only classrooms for minority-language speakers' acquisition of English have been well documented. However, less is known about the effect(s) of DLI on majority-language speakers' native English skills. Prior studies largely used accuracy-focused measures to index children's language skills; it is possible that processing-based tasks are more sensitive to the effects…

  • Changes in executive function over time in bilingual and monolingual school-aged children

    Open AccessJisook Park, Susan Ellis Weismer et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2018Cited by: 3

    We examined the development of 3 executive function (EF) components-inhibition, updating, and task shifting-over time in monolingual and bilingual school-age children. We tested 41 monolingual and 41 simultaneous bilingual typically developing children (ages 8-12) on nonverbal tasks measuring inhibition (the Flanker task), updating (the Corsi blocks task), and task shifting (the Dimensional Change Card Sort task; DCCS) at 2 time points, 1 year ap…

  • Language Deficits in Poor Comprehenders

    Hugh W Catts, Suzanne M Adlof et al.ARTICLEJournal of Speech, Language, and…2006

    PURPOSE: To examine concurrently and retrospectively the language abilities of children with specific reading comprehension deficits ("poor comprehenders") and compare them to typical readers and children with specific decoding deficits ("poor decoders"). METHOD: In Study 1, the authors identified 57 poor comprehenders, 27 poor decoders, and 98 typical readers on the basis of 8th-grade reading achievement. These subgroups' performances on 8th-gra…

  • Are Specific Language Impairment and Dyslexia Distinct Disorders?

    Hugh W Catts, Suzanne M Adlof et al.ARTICLEJournal of Speech, Language, and…2005

    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether specific language impairment (SLI) and dyslexia are distinct developmental disorders. Method: Study 1 investigated the overlap between SLI identified in kindergarten and dyslexia identified in 2nd, 4th, or 8th grades in a representative sample of 527 children. Study 2 examined phonological processing in a subsample of participants, including 21 children with dyslexia only, 43 children wi…

  • Continuity in lexical and morphological development in Icelandic and English-speaking 2-year-olds

    Open AccessElin Thordardottir, Elin T Thordardottir et al.ARTICLEFirst Language2002

    Accounts of language development vary in whether they view lexical and grammatical development as being mediated by a single or by separate mechanisms. In a single mechanism account, only one system is required for learning words and extracting grammatical regularity based on similarities among stored items. A strong non-linear relationship between early lexical and grammatical development has been demonstrated in English and, more recently, in I…

  • Mean length of utterance and other language sample measures in early Icelandic

    Open AccessElin Thordardottir, Elin T Thordardottir et al.ARTICLEFirst Language1998

    Adaptations of the widely used MLU measure have been developed in several languages. Such adaptations require numerous modifications, especially in languages that are highly inflected. This study involved the development of a systematic procedure for coding language samples from Icelandic toddlers. Results are reported in terms of mean length of utterance in morphemes (MLU), total vocabulary, total number of different words and type-token ratio (…
