ABSTRACTThis paper re-opens the question of whether imitation plays a significant role in the acquisition of grammar. Data for this study came from four samples of naturalistic mother-child speech taken over the course of one year from four autistic, four Down's syndrome and four normal children, covering a range of MLU stages. In general, autistic children used more formulaic language, including imitations, than Down's syndrome children, who in turn used more than the normal children. Comparisons of imitative and spontaneous corpora from the same transcripts were made using MLU and the Index of Productive Syntax. The main findings were that, with few exceptions, spontaneous speech utterances were longer, and contained more advanced grammatical constructions than did the imitation utterances. These findings held across all three groups of subjects. We conclude that imitation does not facilitate grammatical development.

SUMMARYThis article casts some light on a neglected area of the health and social services in Britain, namely provision for homeless, single men. It is shown that the services available are grossly inadequate to meet their needs. The paper uses results from a study of Camberwell reception centre which demonstrate that the absolute number of men having either a physical or mental illness who use the centre in any one year is much higher than had previously been calculated. The reception centre is unable to meet their needs which are principally for low-rent accommodation for single people and appropriate health care and social support.

Laryngeal Involvement

AbstractLaryngeal involvement with Candida is usually secondary to pulmonary candidiasis and is seen in patients with impaired immunity. We report a case of isolated laryngeal candidiasis involving the vestibular folds and presenting with stridor in a one-year-old child with Down's syndrome and hypogammaglobulinaemia. Vestibular fold reduction and fluconazole achieved resolution of the disease. Candidiasis should be considered in any potentially immunodeficient child presenting with symptoms of laryngeal disease.

AbstractDown’s Syndrome (DS) is associated with premature and accelerated ageing and a propensity for early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD). The early symptoms of dementia in people with DS may reflect frontal lobe vulnerability to amyloid deposition. The Mismatch Negativity (MMN) is a frontocentral component elicited by auditory violations of expected sensory input and it reflects sensory memory and automatic attention switching. In the typically developing (TD) population, the MMN response has been found to decrease with age. In the cross-sectional phase of this study the MMN was used to investigate the premature neurological ageing hypothesis of DS. In the longitudinal phase, we evaluated the MMN as a potential predictor of cognitive decline. The study found that age predicted MMN amplitude in DS but not in those who are TD, showing that the MMN reflects accelerated ageing in DS. However, a follow-up of 34 adults with DS found that neither amplitude nor latency of the MMN predicted cognitive decline one year later.
