项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Research on children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) has primarily focused on their expressive deficits. Relative to our understanding of these children's expressive difficulties, their receptive problems are poorly understood. This has led to underspecified theoretical accounts of SLI, a limited array of effective interventions to treat them, and less than favorable language intervention outcomes. The results of meta-analyses, systematic reviews, and clinical trials indicate that language intervention has a smaller effect on language comprehension than on language production (Cirrin & Gillam, 2008; Law et al., 2004; Bishop, et al., 2006). Recently, Leonard (2009) has argued that an inability to process linguistic information in the input is likely to play a prominent role in the comprehension difficulties of children with SLI. Debate exits as to whether the sentence comprehension problems in children with SLI reflect a deficit in the language system (the domain-specific view) or a general deficit in cognitive processing (the domain-general view). The primary goal of this large-scale project is to systematically determine which account provides the better descriptive and explanatory model to characterize sentence comprehension in children with SLI. The proposed 5-year project will address two related specific aims in five integrated studies. 450 children will participate: 150 children with SLI (ages 9;0-11;11), 150 age/nonverbal IQ matched (CA) children, and 150 younger children matched for short-term memory and vocabulary (YMV). Aim 1 employs a psychometric approach to investigate the relationship between several cognitive processing mechanisms (controlled attention, lexical retrieval, retrieval interference, short-term memory, working memory, and processing speed) and the comprehension of noncanonical sentences (Studies 1-2) or canonical sentences (Studies 3-4). We hypothesize that the modeling results will support the domain-general account. As part of this aim, we will also examine whether similar sets of cognitive mechanisms underlie sentence comprehension in children with SLI and CA children (with different a set likely subserving noncanonical and canonical sentences). Aim 2 more specifically examines working memory retrieval in noncanonical sentence processing to determine whether children with SLI fail or are slower to reactivate a prior constituent (NP1) during noncanonical sentence processing. We hypothesize they will be slower relative to CA children, supporting the domain-general view. Overall, the results may lead to four high impact implications for the field of SLI. First, a fundamentally new theoretical understanding of the relationship between cognitive processing and sentence comprehension may emerge. Second, models of normal adult and SLI sentence comprehension may be merged into a coherent developmental framework. Third, clinical cognitive-linguistic profiles of children with SLI will be expanded. And fourth, critical insights may emerge into which cognitive mechanisms could be targeted in alternative language treatments designed to improve the language comprehension of children with SLI.
PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: The proposed project focuses on better understanding the sentence comprehension problems of children with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) by studying how different cognitive difficulties (e.g., poor memory) might relate to their comprehension problems. Results should provide important new information about whether cognitive difficulties in children with SLI relate to their sentence comprehension problems. Results could also have important clinical implications by helping to build a more comprehensive clinical picture of SLI and suggesting cognitive skills that might be good to target in language therapy designed to improve the sentence comprehension of children with SLI.
描述(由申请人提供):对具有特定语言障碍的儿童(SLI)的研究主要集中于他们的表现不足。相对于我们对这些儿童表达困难的理解,他们的接受问题知之甚少。这导致了SLI的理论上指定的理论叙述,有限的有效干预措施对待它们,并且语言干预结果不足。荟萃分析,系统评价和临床试验的结果表明,语言干预对语言理解的影响较小,而不是对语言的产生(Cirrin&Gillam,2008; Law等,2004; Bishop等,2006)。最近,伦纳德(Leonard,2009年)认为,无法处理输入中的语言信息可能在SLI儿童的理解困难中发挥着重要作用。 关于SLI儿童的句子理解问题的辩论是否反映了语言系统的赤字(特定于领域的观点)或认知处理的一般赤字(域总看法)。这个大规模项目的主要目标是系统地确定哪个帐户提供了更好的描述性和解释模型,以表征SLI儿童的句子理解。 拟议的5年项目将在五项综合研究中解决两个相关的特定目标。 450名儿童将参加:150名SLI儿童(年龄9; 0-11; 11),150岁/非语言智商匹配(CA)儿童(CA)儿童,而150名年幼的儿童匹配短期记忆和词汇(YMV)。 AIM 1采用心理测量方法来研究多种认知处理机制(受控注意力,词汇检索,检索干扰,短期记忆,工作记忆和处理速度)与非宗教判决(研究1-2)或规范句子(研究3-4)之间的关系。我们假设建模结果将支持域名账户。作为此目标的一部分,我们还将研究患有SLI和CA儿童儿童的句子理解的类似认知机制(与可能存在的非规范和规范句子)的句子理解是理解的。 AIM 2更具体地检查了在非规范句子处理中的工作记忆检索,以确定SLI儿童是否失败或降低了在非规范句子处理过程中重新激活先前的成分(NP1)。我们假设他们相对于CA儿童会较慢,并支持域将军观点。 总体而言,结果可能会导致SLI领域的四个高影响力。首先,可能会出现对认知处理和句子理解之间关系的新理论理解。其次,正常成人和SLI句子理解的模型可以合并为连贯的发展框架。第三,将扩大SLI儿童的临床认知语言特征。第四,批判性见解可能会出现在旨在改善SLI儿童语言理解的替代语言治疗中的认知机制。
公共卫生相关性:拟议项目的重点是更好地理解具有特定语言障碍儿童(SLI)的句子理解问题,通过研究不同的认知困难(例如,记忆力差)如何与他们的理解问题有关。结果应提供有关SLI儿童认知困难是否与他们的句子理解问题有关的重要新信息。结果还可以通过帮助建立更全面的SLI临床图片并提出认知能力,从而在语言治疗中旨在提高SLI儿童的判决理解,这也可能具有重要的临床意义。
