Prosodic Abilities in Children with Specific Language Impairment.

Meulen, Sjoek Van Der; And Others

Journal of Communication Disorders, v30 n3 p155-70 May-Jun 1997

A study that compared the receptive and expressive prosodic abilities of 30 Dutch children (ages 4-6) with language impairments to the abilities of typical children, found they performed less accurately on a prosodic imitation task but did not differ on an emotion identification task. Children performed better with increasing age. (Author/CR)
