A study examined grammatical morphology and sentence imitation in 9 children with specific learning impairments (SLI), 10 with Down syndrome (DS), and 10 controls matched on mean length of utterance. Children with SLI and DS performed significantly more poorly than controls on measures of tense inflections and non-tense morphemes. (Contains references.) (Author/CR)
