Conversational and narrative language samples from 47 subjects with Down syndrome (ages 5 to 20) were compared with those from 47 control subjects matched for nonverbal mental age. Down syndrome children differed from controls in number of different words, in total words, in mean length of utterance, and in total utterance attempts per minute. (Author/DB)
