Fast Mapping of Words in Event Contexts by Children with Down Syndrome.

Chapman, Robin S.; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v55 n4 p761-70 Nov 1990

Fast mapping of novel words for objects was compared in 48 children/adolescents with Down syndrome and 48 mental-age matched children. The groups did not differ in their ability to infer a connection between the novel word and referent, comprehend the novel word after a single exposure, and produce the novel word correctly.
