Analysis of Children's Word-Finding Skills in Discourse.

German, Diane J.; Simon, Elaine

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v34 n2 p309-16 Apr 1991

Comparison of the narratives of 16 children with word-finding problems and 16 normal children (grades 1-6) found that children with word-finding disorders did not differ in language productivity but manifested significantly more word-finding characteristics in their narratives. Implications for assessment and intervention are discussed. (Author/DB)
