Creating an SLI performance profile with load
… may contribute to Specific Language Impairment (SLI). This study attempted to simulate a performance profile of SLI in typically developing children within a grammaticality judgment task, featuring structures historically difficult (third person singular –S and auxiliary BE) and easy (plural –S …

Effects of Verb Familiarity on Finiteness Marking in Children with SLI
… of weakness in specific language impairment (SLI). Given these weaknesses, the question arises of whether these two dimensions are related in children with SLI and/or typically developing children. One way to examine this question is to assess the hypothesis that verb familiarity influences …

The neuropsychological endophenotype of specific language impairments and autism spectrum disorders: Category or continuum?
… variables of the specific language impairment (SLI) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD) neuropsychological endophenotypes and to clarify the nature of overlap between SLI and ASD. Group differences in cognitive functioning, epidemiological factors including proband comorbidity and health …

"Da sind gar kein grün" : dyadische Kommunikation sprachentwicklungsgestörter Kinder
… and deficits of specific language impaired (SLI) children in child-to-child communication and especially in role-play compared with their age-matched peers. Most of the children with SLI have limited socio-pragmatic skills (Bishop, 2000; Craig, 1993; Fujiki et al., 2001; Liiva & Cleve, 2005; …

Comparing the oral language abilities of children with autism spectrum disorder and specific language impairment using the Comprehensive Assessment of Spoken Language (CASL)
… in children with specific language impairment (SLI). It appears that a comprehensive test such as the CASL has not been used to investigate the differences in language impairment in children with ASD and SLI. The aim of the present study was to compare the oral language abilities of children in …

Specific Language Impairment and Executive Function: Parent and Teacher Ratings of Behavior
… Children with specific language impairment (SLI) demonstrate difficulty on many performance-based measures of executive function, although their executive performance on ratings of behavior is not well understood. The current investigation used the <em>Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive …

Whole-exome sequencing variant prioritization in individuals with tense and agreement marking deficit— a clinical marker of specific language impairment
Specific language impairment (SLI) has been studied at the genetic level for over 25 years, with varied assessments of language ability defining the SLI phenotype across studies. In the current study, the SLI phenotype is defined by performance on a sensitive and specific measure of grammar …

Challenging the Limitations of the Streitwieser Lithium Indicator Acidity Scale with Cyclopentadiene Derivatives
… on linking the Streitwieser Lithium Indicator (SLI) acidity scale to the aqueous Bronsted-Lowry scale to give true pKa values to carbon acids measured on the SLI scale. To achieve this goal, we needed at least one carbon acid that is both water- and THF-soluble and that has an acidity …

The Effect of Test Revision: Comparing the Performance of Preschool Children with SLI and Typical Controls on the PPVT-III and the PPVT-IV
… the performance of preschool children with SLI and controls on the PPVT-III and PPVT-IV to determine the effect of test revision on identification of language impairment. </p> <p><em>Method: </em>Twenty preschool children with SLI and 20 typically developing controls served as the …

Recognition of Facial Expressions of Six Emotions by Children with Specific Language Impairment
… in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their typically developing peers. As such, this study is a follow-up investigation of the work done by Spackman, Fujiki, Brinton, Nelson, & Allen (2006). Children with SLI and their age- and gender-matched peers were asked to identify the …

Neurophysiological bases of frequency discrimination in children with Auditory Processing Disorder or Specific Language Impairment
… Disorder (APD) or Specific Language Impairment (SLI) could discriminate three different frequency changes behaviorally and electrophysiologically. Behavioral frequency discrimination and event-related potentials were examined using a 1000Hz pure tone base frequency. Typically developing children …

Pushing the Limits of the Lithium Indicator Carbon Acidity Scale Using Cyclopentadiene Chemistry and 19F NMR Spectrometry
… prominent is the Streitwieser Lithium Indicator (SLI) scale. The term "indicator scale" implies that acids have been measured against one another in sequential fashion. The SLI scale uses lithium ion as the conjugate-base counterion and THF as the solvent. Historically, the SLI scale has …

Nonverbal Cognitive Assessment in Specific Language Impairment: A Meta-Analysis
… of children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their typically developing (TD) peers. In addition, variability in effect sizes across studies and its relation to the nonverbal cognitive test used, the cut-off criterion employed, participants’ age, and their linguistic skills were …

Auditory Temporal Processing in Children with Specific Language Impairment Compared to Same-Age Controls
… in children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) originates from immature auditory temporal integration (ATI), but results are inconsistent. We compared electroencephalographic data from 25 children with SLI aged 6-11 years to 25 typically developing peers. Participants’ neural responses to a …

Event Related Potentials of Syntactic Language Processing in Two Children with Specific Language Impairment: A Case Study
… two children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) and two aged-matched peers while listening to syntactically correct sentences versus syntactically incorrect sentences. The study specifically analyzed the N400 and P600 components. The N400 component is a negative wave occurring approximately …

An improved audiometer for specific language impaired children
… impairment. Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a very common type of impairment found in many children. Generally, children with SLI are often diagnosed with developmental language disorder and as they grew older they may find difficulty in learning new words and making a conversation. …

A Multiple Perspective Study of Specific Language Impairment and Verbal Communication: Exploring Perceptions of Collaborative Learning
… that students with specific language impairment (SLI) encounter during peer collaboration activities, as well as the supports and resources that enable students with SLI to successfully engage and participate in collaborative groupwork. This study utilized a phenomenological approach to explore …

Guidance Index for Shallow Landslide Hazard Analysis
<p>Rainfall-induced landslides are one of the most frequent hazards on slanted terrains. They lead to considerable economic losses and fatalities worldwide. Intense storms with high-intensity and long-duration rainfall have high potential to trigger rapidly moving soil masses due to changes in pore …

Predicting Language Impairment Status: A Risk Factor Model
<p>The etiology of specific language impairment (SLI) is multifactorial. Research has shown that genetic, environmental, and developmental factors may influence the course of its development. Because many of these factors are present even before a child is born, it is possible that a child's risk …
