Johnston, Judith R.; Weismer, Susan Ellis – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1983
Normal and language-disordered first and third graders (matched for sex and cognitive level) were asked to decide whether two geometric arrays were similarly ordered. Language-disordered children did not differ from normal children in accuracy of judgment or require more training trials, but they did respond more slowly. (Author/CL)

Johnston, Judith R.; Smith, Linda B. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1989
Ten language impaired and 10 language normal children, aged 3-5), were asked to solve verbal and nonverbal problems requiring color and size judgments. There were no group differences on the verbal tasks, but the language impaired children performed less well on the nonverbal tasks especially on problems dealing with size. (Author/DB)
