Do nonword repetition errors in children with specific language impairment reflect a weakness in an unidentified skill specific to nonword repetition or a deficit in simultaneous processing?
This Commentary supports Gathercole’s (2006) proposal on a double deficit in children with specific language impairment (SLI). The author suggests that these children have a limited phonological storage combined with a particular problem of processing novel speech, stimuli. According to Gathercole, there are three areas of skill contributing to memory for nonwords: general cognitive abilities, ...
متن کاملNonword Repetition Problems in Children With SLI
Children with specific language impairment (SLI) consistently show poor nonword repetition (NWR) performance. However, the reason for these difficulties remains a matter of intensive debate. Nonword repetition is a complex psycholinguistic task that heavily relies upon phonological segmentation and phonological knowledge, and even lexical knowledge. This study aims at investigating various ling...
متن کاملIncreases in phonotactic probability facilitate spoken nonword repetition
Lipinski and Gupta (2005) report the results of 12 experiments and numerous analyses that attempted to examine further the effects of phonotactic probability originally reported in Vitevitch and Luce (1998, & further explored in Vitevitch & Luce 1999). They suggested that Vitevitch and Luce s results were due to differences in the duration of the stimuli rather than to differences in phonotacti...
متن کاملLexicality and frequency in specific language impairment: accuracy and error data from two nonword repetition tests.
PURPOSE Deficits in phonological working memory and deficits in phonological processing have both been considered potential explanatory factors in specific language impairment (SLI). Manipulations of the lexicality and phonotactic frequency of nonwords enable contrasting predictions to be derived from these hypotheses. METHOD Eighteen typically developing (TD) children and 18 children with SL...
متن کاملInfluences on Nonword Repetition in Young Children
Nonword repetition (NWR) tasks have become popular in recent years as measures of phonological short term memory (PSTM) in research settings, and as potential markers of language impairment in clinical settings. This has increased interest in the subskills that potentially NWR performance. The current study investigated the influence of PSTM, vocabulary skills, articulatory output skills, liter...
