Whitehouse, Andrew J. O.; Barry, Johanna G.; Bishop, Dorothy V. M. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2008
Some children with autism demonstrate poor nonword repetition--a deficit considered to be a psycholinguistic marker of specific language impairment (SLI). The present study examined whether there is an SLI subtype among children with autism. We compared the language abilities of children with SLI (n = 34, M age = 11;10 S.D. = 2;3), and children…

Loukusa, Soile; Leinonen, Eeva; Jussila, Katja; Mattila, Marja-Leena; Ryder, Nuala; Ebeling, Hanna; Moilanen, Irma – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2007
This study examined irrelevant/incorrect answers produced by children with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism (7-9-year-olds and 10-12-year-olds) and normally developing children (7-9-year-olds). The errors produced were divided into three types: in Type 1, the child answered the original question incorrectly, in Type 2, the child gave a…

Error Analysis of Pronouns by Normal and Language-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moore, Mary Evelyn – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1995
Spontaneous utterances from 3 conversational contexts were generated by 3 groups of 10 children, including children with specific language impairments (SLI), and analyzed for accuracy of pronoun usage. Results indicated that children with SLI exhibited more total errors than chronological peers but not more than their language level peers. A…

Distinguishing between Phonological Difference and Disorder in Children Who Speak African-American Vernacular English: An Experimental Testing Instrument.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Wilcox, Lydia D.; Anderson, Raquel T. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1998
This study evaluated an experimental articulation testing instrument for differentiating child speakers (N=21, ages 5:0 to 6:6) of African-American Vernacular English (AAVE) with atypical and typical phonologies. Significant group differences were observed, suggesting that the measure can differentiate typical and atypical development in this…

Jacks, Adam; Marquardt, Thomas P.; Davis, Barbara L. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2006
Changes in consonant and syllable-level error patterns of three children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) were investigated in a 3-year longitudinal study. Spontaneous speech samples were analyzed to assess the accuracy of consonants and syllables. Consonant accuracy was low overall, with most frequent errors on middle- and…
