Purpose Conceptual and methodological confounds occur when non (sense) word
repetition tasks are administered to speakers who do not have the target speech sounds in …

Background: Nonword repetition (NWR) involves the ability to perceive, store, recall and
reproduce phonological sequences. These same abilities play a role in word and morpheme …

Purpose The primary purpose of this study was to identify the brain bases of phonological
working memory (the short-term maintenance of speech sounds) using behavioral tasks …

Deficits in phonological short‐term memory and aspects of verb grammar morphology have
been proposed as phenotypic markers of specific language impairment (SLI) with the …

The purpose of the present study was to examine working memory (WM) capacity, lexical
access and phonological skills in 19 children with cochlear implants (CI)(5; 7–13; 4 years of …

First, we explore the performance of nonword repetition (NWR) in children with specific
language impairment (SLI) and typically developing children (TD) in order to investigate the …

The central assertion in this volume is that the young child uses general skills, scaffolded by
adults, to acquire the complex knowledge of sound patterns and the goal-directed behaviors …

This study examined the relationship between speech recognition, working memory and
conversational skills in a group of 13 children/adolescents with cochlear implants (CIs) …

This study examined how familiarity of word structures influenced articulatory control in
children and adolescents during repetition of real words (RWs) and nonwords (NWs). A …

Purpose The amount of language exposure is correlated with bilingual lexical development,
but findings are mixed on how exposure relates to nonword repetition (NWR), a complex …
