background : one language-related area that has recently received more attention from researchers working in the field of stuttering is phonological working memory. this article aimed to identify phonological skills of working memory in children with stuttering in comparison with normal children, and to obtain the relationship between the increase in the number of syllables in non-words and the...

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to design a short-term memory test, to describe quantitative performance in typically language developing children and to verify the relationship between the non-words repetition and oral phonological measure. METHODS The participants included 136 typically language developing children aged from 3 years to 6 years and 11 months old in this study, who were...

In this study, segmental and prosodic aspects of word repetition and non-word repetition in typically developing children aged four to six years were investigated. Focus was on developmental differences, and on how tonal word accent and word length affect segment production accuracy. Prosodically controlled words and non-words were repeated by 44 Swedish-speaking children. Repetition accuracy f...

In this paper, I study the production of consonant clusters by Greek children and examine the consequences of the acquisition data for phonological theory, with particular emphasis on the word initial position. Using a non-word repetition test, I tested the order of acquisition of word initial and word medial sT, TT and TR clusters in 59 children. The results provide evidence against any analys...

The non-word repetition test has been regularly used to examine children’s vocabulary acquisition, and yet there is no clear explanation of all of the effects seen in non-word repetition. This paper presents a study of 25 5-6 year-old children’s repetition performance on three non-word repetition tests that vary in the degree of their lexicality. EPAM-VOC, a model of children’s vocabulary acqui...

background : the aim of the present study was to assess the auditory working memory span of children with (central) auditory processing disorders (c) apd aged 8 to 10 years and to compare the results with normal ones. methods: twenty five children with (central) auditory processing disorders (8-10 years) and 75 normal children (8-10 years) from both genders participated in this comparative stud...

The study investigated the accuracy of non-word production by bilingual and monolingual children. participants (125 children in total) belonged to two groups with different language repertoires one group Lithuanians. analysis revealed that overall performance both was better than group. demonstrated more accurate statistically significant results repeating longer structurally complex non-words....

This paper investigates stress assignment in Dutch aphasic patients in non-word repetition, as well as in real-word and non-word reading. Performance on the non-word reading task was similar for the aphasic patients and the control group, as mainly regular stress was assigned to the targets. However, there were group differences on the real-word reading and non-word repetition tasks. Unlike the...
