Turn Exchange Characteristics of SLI Children's Simultaneous and Nonsimultaneous Speech.

Craig, Holly K.; Evans, Julia L.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v54 n3 p334-47 Aug 1989

The turn exchange behaviors of 5 specifically language-impaired (SLI) children, aged 8 to 13, were examined in adult-child interaction. Results indicated qualitative differences from those of normal language children in terms of turn errors, interruptions, interactive attention, responsiveness, and turn switch times, as well as variability related to SLI subtype.
