Janna B. Oetting – Language Learning and Development, 2024
Shin and Mill (2021) propose four steps children go through when learning "variable form use."

Fortunately, Shin and Miller recognize this and encourage tests of their ideas. In support of their work, I share data…

Hendricks, Alison Eisel; Jerard, Jillian; Guo, Ling-Yu – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: Measures of grammatical accuracy are effective measures of children's language skills.
