Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Preston, Jonathan L.; Hull, Margaret; Edwards, Mary Louise – American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology, 2013
Purpose: To determine if speech error patterns in preschoolers with speech sound disorders (SSDs) predict articulation and phonological awareness (PA) outcomes almost 4 years later. Method: Twenty-five children with histories of preschool SSDs (and normal receptive language) were tested at an average age of 4;6 (years;months) and were followed up…

Pizzioli, Fabrizio; Schelstraete, Marie-Anne – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2011
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) demonstrate consistent comprehension problems. The present study investigated whether these problems are driven primarily by structural complexity or length. A picture-sentence matching task was presented to 30 children: (1) 10 children with SLI, (2) 10 comprehension-matched children with typical…

Phonology, Decoding, and Lexical Compensation in Vowel Spelling Errors Made by Children with Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bernstein, Stuart E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2009
A descriptive study of vowel spelling errors made by children first diagnosed with dyslexia (n = 79) revealed that phonological errors, such as "bet" for "bat", outnumbered orthographic errors, such as "bate" for "bait". These errors were more frequent in nonwords than words, suggesting that lexical context helps with vowel spelling. In a second…

Hwang, Shoou-Lian; Gau, Susan Shur-Fen; Hsu, Wen-Yau; Wu, Yu-Yu – Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2010
Background: The underlying mechanism of time perception deficit in long time intervals in attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is still unclear. This study used the time reproduction dual task to explore the role of the attentional resource in time perception deficits among children and adolescents with ADHD. Methods: Participants…

Gunn, Deborah M.; Jarrold, Christopher – Research in Developmental Disabilities: A Multidisciplinary Journal, 2004
The aim of this study was to investigate the types of errors produced by three participant groups (individuals with Down syndrome, with moderate learning disability, and typically developing children) whilst completing the Raven's Coloured Progressive Matrices task. An analysis of error categories revealed that individuals with Down syndrome…

Interviewing Children about Past Events: The Influence of Peer Support and Misleading Questions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

This study investigated the influence of peer support and leading or misleading questions on reports of a neutral event by 48 children (ages 5 to 10). Younger children made significantly more errors in response to directly misleading questions than to indirectly misleading questions. Peer support did not influence children's prompted recall…
