The present study aims at the description and analysis of the phonological and lexical development of a child who is acquiring Farsi as his first language. The child's language production at the holophrastic stage of language development, mainly single words, is observed and recorded  longitudinally for nearly seven  months since he was 16 months old until he turned 23 months. An attempt is mad...

Many children with Down syndrome display asynchrony in development with the acquisition of language preceding at a slower pace than the acquisition of other cognitive skills. Recent research suggests that the expressive language delays that are displayed by these children may be associated with an earlier disturbance in the development of nonverbal requesting skills (Mundy, Sigman, Kasari, & Yi...

this cross-sectional study aimed to determine the reliability of static control evaluation with synapsys posturography system (sps, marseille, france) and to compare the static postural control of deaf children with typically developing children. this study was conducted in 2 phases on 81 children of 7 to 12 years old in tehran schools. the first phase examined the reliability of static balance...

Quantum data compression is one of the most fundamental tasks in quantum information theory[1, 2]. Schumacher first provided a tight bound (equal to the von Neumann entropy of the source) to which quantum information may be compressed[3]. From then on, many compression schemes have been proposed[4–13]. In this paper we will consider the universal quantum data compression in the case that we onl...

the present research was an attempt to provide new evidence for the efficacy of task-based techniques to speaking proficiency development. the primary focus of the study was to investigate the effects of task-based techniques on speaking proficiency development. in the second place, it tried to scrutinize the effect of gender on speaking proficiency development under task-based principles of la...

Purpose While most of the children who are identified as late talkers at age 2 years catch up with their peers before school age, some continue to have language difficulties and will later be having developmental disorder. Our understanding which do not is limited. The aim current study was find out if inhibition associated talker outcomes age. Method We recruited 73 school-aged (ages 7–10 year...

Specific Language Impairment (SLI) is a severe limitation in language ability in the absence of other factors that typically accompany language problems (e.g., hearing impairment, low non-verbal IQ, neurological damage). SLI is the most common and most studied type of developmental language disorder, yet research comparing biand monolingual development is surprisingly lacking, leaving potential...

For decades, researchers have attempted to determine whether language development of children with SLI is delayed or deviant (for an overview see Leonard, 2014). This question has been addressed by comparing children with SLI to younger language-matched children to determine similarities/ differences in their linguistic profile. The current study offers a novel approach, comparing bilingual chi...
