Objectively Identifying the Cocktail Party Syndrome among Children with Spina Bifida.

Stough, Con; And Others

Exceptional Child, v35 n1 p23-30 Mar 1988

Thirty-three congenitally physically disabled children, aged 4-6 and 14-16, were studied in order to define objective means for identifying children exhibiting the Cocktail Party Syndrome. A measure of the irrelevancy of language content was found to reliably distinguish such children from children of similar age and measured IQ. (Author/JDD)
