Do Parental Questions and Topic Continuations Elicit Replies from Developmentally Delayed Children? A Sequential Analysis.

Yoder, Paul J.; Davies, Betty

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n3 p563-73 Sep 1990

This sequential analysis tested the relative extent to which several adult utterance types elicited conversational replies from eight developmentally delayed children (mean age 53 months). Among findings were that child replies of any length were elicited by adult topic continuations more than by any other adult utterance type. (Author/DB)
