Title:Living on the Edge of Communicative Competence: Speed of Processing
Description:
Children with SLI often perform tasks more slowly. Not just language tasks. Example ... It is impolite to stare(d) at people at the mall. Tense omission ... – PowerPoint PPT presentation
SLI and NLI groups less sensitive (accuracy) to violations overall
F(2 172) 33.3 p lt .001 partial 2 .28
No interaction of group and sentence type
Tense omission was not more vulnerable than other violations
24 Assessing residual difficulties word monitoring
Same types of sentences
Respond to target word should be slower following grammatical violation
Sample
106 NLD
47 SLI
25 NLI
25 Assessing residual difficulties word monitoring
Results
Interaction of group with grammaticality of sentence was significant only for Tense Omission
SLI and NLI groups were not slowed by tense omission but were slowed by other violations
26 New analysis
No significant group RT effects for either sentence processing task
Has overall processing speed deficit resolved
Combined data for both experiments
27 Preliminary results
Collapsing group means in a quick dirty manner
Effect of group is significant but small
F(2 172) 3.1 p lt .05 partial 2 .04
28 Summary
Children and adolescents with language impairment
show evidence of overall slow processing
but we dont know if it is truly generalized
processing speed may predict grammar growth
adolescents with LI are slower and less accurate to process sentences
Detection of tense omission may continue to be compromised even when production is accurate
