Spoken word recognition in adolescents with autism spectrum disorders and specific language impairment

چکیده
Spoken word recognition, during gating, appears intact in specific language impairment (SLI).

Adolescents with ALI required more speech input to initially identify low-frequency words with low competitor density than those with SLI and those with TLD, who did not differ. These differences may be due to less well specified word form representations in
