A Framework For Linking Sequential Pattern Rules in DLD: Perception in Adults

NCT04996472 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 933

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This broad aim of this clinical study is to assess the hypothesis that morphological and phonological deficits are linked by a broader deficit in sequential pattern learning. This hypothesis applies to learning in general, but is especially critical as an avenue for developing earlier assessments and more powerful interventions for children with developmental language disorder (DLD; AKA specific language impairment). Other populations, such as at-risk toddlers, may also benefit from this new approach.

Conditions

  • Developmental Language Disorder
  • Speech Sound Disorder
  • Specific Language Impairment

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Sensitivity to phonological rules: Adults

Assess whether adults are sensitive to different phonological patterns that are predicted to align with development of morphosyntax or the lexicon.

BEHAVIORAL

Sensitivity to semantic category cues: Adults

Assess whether adults show improved learning of OR or family resemblance rules when a semantic category cue is used.
