Sentence repetition in German-speaking individuals with Down syndrome. Witecy, B., Tolkmit, T., & Penke, M. In Proceedings of 11th International Conference of Experimental Linguistics, 2020. ExLing Society.
Paper doi abstract bibtex The present study investigated the morphosyntactic abilities of German-speaking individuals with Down syndrome (DS) employing a sentence repetition task. In addition, a nonword repetition task was used to assess verbal short-term memory. The performance of 16 children/adolescents with DS was compared to that of 10 typically developing (TD) children. Group comparisons as well as the inspection of standard scores that were determined based on nonverbal mental age indicated a significant morphosyntactic impairment in most individuals with DS that could neither be solely attributed to the general cognitive delay nor to the observed deficit in verbal verbal short-term memory. Further qualitative results are presented.
