The language of 7 children who had used a cochlear implant for 5 years was evaluated by means of the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals-3, the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test-Revised, and the Expressive Vocabulary Subtest of the Test of Word Knowledge. All subjects demonstrated impaired skills relative to normal-hearing children on 1 or more subtests. Variability in performance occurred between subjects and within subjects across subtests. Strengths in semantic skills were evident compared to weaker syntactic and morphological abilities. The nature of the subjects' language impairments is considered with reference to language delay and specific language impairment. The findings support the need for further evaluation of the rate and course of development of language subskills. Investigation of the influences of information processing, and learning styles and strategies, on children's outcomes is also warranted. These findings have implications for implementation of optimal habilitation and education programs for children with cochlear implants.

This study explored the correlations of scores on the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children–III in screening language problems and scores on the three Comprehensive Receptive and Expressive Vocabulary Test subscales. Participants were 243 students ages 6 to 17 years in Grades K–11 who were identified as learning disabled, learning disabled with speech impairment, mentally retarded, and speech impaired. Analysis indicated strong correlations between the two measures, particularly between the CREVT General Vocabulary and WISC–III Verbal IQ ( r = .80), WISC–III Verbal Comprehension Index ( r = .83), and the Vocabulary subtest ( r = .16). These results held across the grades. Supporting earlier studies of relationships of Verbal IQ and Receptive Vocabulary, correlations were lower between participants in Grades K through 2 than those in higher grades on the WISC–III Verbal IQ and the Receptive Vocabulary subtest. An analysis of the accuracy of the WISC–III for classifying students with language problems indicated improvement in classification over chance. These findings suggest that the WISC–III may be an effective screen for language problems.

Naming Test

A new procedure entitled the Double Administration Naming Technique is proposed to assist the clinician in obtaining qualitative information about a client's visual confrontation naming skills. It involves the administration of the standard naming test followed by a readministration of the instrument. A series of naming cues then are presented. By examining the number and types of naming errors produced during the two test presentations, the clinician distinguishes word-finding problems from expressive vocabulary limitations and qualitatively describes the language disorder. The cues that facilitate correct naming are used to plan effective treatment goals.

Purpose We report on a replicated single-case design study that measured the feasibility of an expressive vocabulary intervention for three Cantonese-speaking toddlers with small expressive lexicons relative to their age. The aim was to assess the cross-cultural and cross-linguistic feasibility of an intervention method developed for English-speaking children. Method A nonconcurrent multiple-baseline design was used with four baseline data points and 16 intervention sessions per participant. The intervention design incorporated implicit learning principles, high treatment dosage, and control of the phonological neighborhood density of the stimuli. The children (24–39 months) attended 7–9 weeks of twice weekly input-based treatment in which no explicit verbal production was required from the child. Each target word was provided as input a minimum of 64 times in at least two intervention sessions. Treatment feasibility was measured by comparison of how many of the target and control words the child produced across the intervention period, and parent-reported expressive vocabulary checklists were completed for comparison of pre- and postintervention child spoken vocabulary size. An omnibus effect size for the treatment effect of the number of target and control words produced across time was calculated using Kendall's Tau. Results There was a significant treatment effect for target words learned in intervention relative to baselines, and all children produced significantly more target than control words across the intervention period. The effect of phonological neighborhood density on expressive word production could not be evaluated because two of the three children learned all target words. Conclusion The results provide cross-cultural evidence of the feasibility of a model of intervention that incorporated a high-dosage, cross-situational statistical learning paradigm to teach spoken word production to children with small expressive lexicons.

Zusammenfassung. Die Intelligenzdiagnostik bei Kindern besitzt eine über 100-jährige Tradition, die verschiedenartige Testkonzepte hervorbrachte. Wichtige Konzepte werden am Beispiel von Testverfahren, wie dem Hamburg-Wechsler-Intelligenztest für Kinder (HAWIK-IV), der Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) und dem Snijders-Oomen Non-verbalen Intelligenztest (SON-R 2½ - 7) diskutiert. Auf grundlegende Dimensionen aktueller Intelligenztests wird eingegangen; es zeichnet sich ein Trend zu komplexen Intelligenztest-Verfahren ab.

Zusammenfassung. Der aktuelle Forschungsstand deutet darauf hin, dass entwicklungsbedingte Koordinationsstörungen häufig mit psychischen und sozialen Verhaltensauffälligkeiten sowie kognitiven Defiziten verknüpft sind; insbesondere der Kontakt zur Gleichaltrigengruppe scheint problematisch. Die vorliegende Studie überprüft, ob betroffene Kinder spezifische kognitive Defizite sowie verschiedene Verhaltensprobleme aufweisen. Es besteht die Hypothese, dass psychische Auffälligkeiten sowie Probleme im sozialen Bereich nicht nur unmittelbare Folgen der motorischen Ungeschicklichkeit darstellen, sondern dass bestimmte kognitive Defizite an der Entstehung dieser negativen Begleiterscheinungen beteiligt sind. In der Studie wurden 35 koordinationsgestörte Kinder im Alter von sechs bis elf Jahren mit einer alters- und geschlechtsgematchten Kontrollgruppe (n = 35) anhand ihrer kognitiven Leistungen, ihres Sozialverhaltens sowie bestimmter psychischer Verhaltensauffälligkeiten mittels t-Tests verglichen. Zur Absicherung der Diagnose einer entwicklungsbedingten Koordinationsstörung wurde der Motoriktest Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC-2) eingesetzt. Die Überprüfung der kognitiven Leistungen erfolgte mittels des Hamburg-Wechsler-Intelligenztest für Kinder – IV (HAWIK-IV). Psychische und soziale Verhaltensabweichungen wurden mithilfe des Elternfragebogens der Intelligence and Developmental Scales (IDS) und der Lehrereinschätzliste (LSL) erfasst. Anhand von Mediatoranalysen wird überprüft, ob ein indirekter Zusammenhang zwischen motorischer Leistung und verschiedenen Verhaltensauffälligkeiten besteht, der durch bestimmte kognitive Defizite vermittelt wird. Die Kinder weisen im Vergleich zur Kontrollgruppe ein erhöhtes Maß an psychischen Auffälligkeiten, Einschränkungen im Sozialverhalten sowie signifikante Intelligenzunterschiede auf. Das Wahrnehmungsgebundene Logische Denken (HAWIK-IV) vermittelt den Zusammenhang zwischen der motorischen Gesamtleistung sowie den LSL-Skalen Einfühlungsvermögen und Kooperation. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass verschiedene Wahrnehmungsdefizite den Umgang mit der Gleichaltrigengruppe erschweren.
