introduction: children of the ages 5-6 are in a distinct educational condition. on the one side, they are biologically inclined toward movement and on the other side their parent’s preference toward straight and categorical education like second language starts. this study investigates the effect of neshaat language and movement integrative program on children’s gross motor development and thei...

Individuals with autism spectrum disorders have impairments in language acquisition, but the underlying mechanism of these deficits is poorly understood. Implicit learning is potentially relevant to language development, particularly in speech segmentation, which relies on sensitivity to transitional probabilities between speech sounds. This study investigated the relationship between implicit ...

In an experiment designed to tap into knowledge of Binding in individuals with Down syndrome (DS), it was found that subjects had specific difficulties assigning appropriate interpretation to reflexives, traditionally claimed to be governed by Principle A of standard Binding Theory, as opposed to pronouns, constrained by Principle B in the same framework. This pattern, not previously evidenced ...

The view of a triad of impairments [(Wing and Gould (1979). Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 9, 11-30] in which impaired imagination is linked with repetitive behaviour is widely accepted. However this categorisation differs from the international classification systems, which link imagination to communication impairments rather than to repetitive behaviours. To investigate this r...

introduction: hearing loss from birth up to the age of 3 years has a negative effect on speech/language development and results in sensory, cognitive, emotional, and academic defects in adulthood by causing delayed development of communicative-linguistic abilities. the present study was performed in order to assess the effect of early intervention on language development in persian children age...

Past research has suggested that language may play an important role in shaping the development of our fundamental concepts, such as number. Oral deaf children, by receiving less aural linguistic input than do typically hearing children of the same age, serve as an experimentally useful population for isolating the effects of language on number development. Because these children are otherwise ...
