Specific Language Impairment II

Question 1

Tallal 1967

Answer 1

Temporal processing deficit - auditory repetition task. In SLI, fewer errors with longer gap. However, problems disappear with age + not all subtypes fit

Question 2

Gathercole + Baddeley 1990

Answer 2

SLI performance drops with 2+ syllable non-word repetition. VSTM actually measures phonological awareness - consequence not cause

Question 3

van der Lely + Ullman 2001

Answer 3

Problem with rules not words - SLI past tense formation shows frequency effects for regulars, but surprisingly bad at irregulars

Question 4

Joanisse + Seidenberg 1988

Answer 4

Underlying perceptual (temporal) problems lead to poor phonology. This leads to poor VSTM (poor sentence understanding, but syntax) and poor morphological awareness

Question 5

Temporal processing deficit - auditory repetition task. In SLI, fewer errors with longer gap. However, problems disappear with age + not all subtypes fit
