项目摘要

Project Summary The proposed study is a randomized clinical trial that uses a Sequential Multiple Assignment Randomized Trial (SMART) study design. The study will directly compare the efficacy of an innovative intervention that combines explicit and implicit approaches to a traditional implicit treatment approach to teach true grammatical forms to children with developmental language disorder (DLD). The study will also compare interventions that include sequences of Explicit- added and Implicit-only treatments. Participants will include 5- through 8-year-old children with DLD who present with significant grammatical weaknesses. In Phase 1, 155 participants will be randomized 1:1 to an Explicit-added treatment group or an Implicit-only treatment group. Each participant will complete 32 sessions targeting four unique grammatical forms (8 sessions/form). In Phase 2, “Masters” will be re-randomized to receive no treatment 32 sessions of the same treatment, or 32 sessions of the alternative treatment. “Non-Masters” will be re-randomized to receive 32 additional sessions of the same treatment or 32 sessions of the alternative treatment. Performance will be measured on acquisition, maintenance, and generalization probes obtained immediately,1-, 6-, and 12- months post-intervention. The SMART study design will be used to determine if child factors, including expressive and receptive language abilities, nonverbal IQ, and executive function skills can reliably predict the treatment sequence that optimizes language learning. Study results will help to determine the best sequence approach to ameliorate grammatical weaknesses, one of the core deficits of young children with language impairment.

项目概要拟议的研究是一项使用序贯多重分配的随机临床试验随机试验（SMART）研究设计将直接比较一项研究的疗效。将显性和隐性方法结合起来的创新干预措施向语言发展儿童教授真正语法形式的治疗方法该研究还将比较包括显式序列的干预措施。参与者将包括 5 至 8 岁的儿童。在第一阶段，将有 155 名存在严重语法缺陷的 DLD 参与者。以 1:1 的比例随机分配至显式添加治疗组或仅隐式治疗组。参与者将完成 32 节针对四种独特语法形式的课程（8 节/表格）。在第二阶段，“Masters”将被重新随机化，接受相同治疗的 32 次治疗。治疗，或 32 次“非大师”替代治疗将被重新随机分配。接受 32 次额外的相同治疗或 32 次替代治疗。性能将根据获得的采集、维护和泛化探针进行测量 SMART 研究设计将用于干预后立即、1、6 和 12 个月。确定儿童因素（包括表达和接受语言能力、非语言智商）是否和执行功能技能可以可靠地预测优化的治疗顺序研究结果将有助于确定最佳的语言学习顺序方法。改善语法弱点，这是幼儿语言的核心缺陷之一损害。
