Small Worlds and Semantic Network Growth in Typical and Late Talkers
Network analysis has demonstrated that systems ranging from social networks to electric power grids often involve a small world structure-with local clustering but global ac cess. Critically, small world structure has also been shown to characterize adult human semantic networks. Moreover, the connectivity pattern of these mature networks is consistent with lexical growth processes in which chi...
متن کاملNetwork Analysis of a Large Sample of Typical and Late Talkers
The focus of this paper is to examine differences in semantic network structure of late talkers and typical talkers to elucidate potential learning strategies used by late talking children. To address this question, we conducted network analysis on the vocabularies of 2,912 children, with 566 of those being late talkers. Contrary to previously reported findings, the results show that late talke...
متن کاملTemperament in late talkers.
This study examines the temperamental characteristics of children who were identified at age two as being slow in expressive language development, and those of peers with normal language history. When the children were in first grade (approximately age six), parents and clinicians rated subjects' temperamental characteristics, using a standardized temperament assessment instrument. Subjects wit...
متن کاملReading and metaphonological outcomes in late talkers.
Children with a history of slow expressive language development (SELD) were followed to second grade, at which point outcomes in terms of speech, language, cognitive skills, reading achievement, and metaphonological performance were evaluated. Although there were some statistically significant differences between groups, children with a history of SELD generally performed within the normal rang...
متن کاملTypical Worlds
Hugh Everett III presented pure wave mechanics, sometimes referred to as the many-worlds interpretation, as a solution to the quantum measurement problem. While pure wave mechanics is a deterministic physical theory with no probabilities, Everett sought to show how the theory might be understood as making the standard quantum statistical predictions as appearances to observers who were themselv...
