Language features in a mother and daughter of a chromosome 7;13 translocation involving FOXP2.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The aims of this study were (a) to locate the breakpoints of a balanced translocation (7;13) within a mother (B) and daughter (T); (b) to describe the language and cognitive skills of B and T; and (c) to compare this profile with affected ... Read more...

Behavior predictors of language development over 2 years in children with autism spectrum disorders.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: This exploratory study examined predictive relationships between 5 types of behaviors and the trajectories of vocabulary and language development in young children with autism over 2 years. METHOD: Participants were 69 children with autism ... Read more...

Pauses and intonational phrasing: ERP studies in 5-month-old German infants and adults.

29 Sep 2009 In language learning, infants are faced with the challenge of decomposing continuous speech into relevant units, such as syntactic clauses and words. Within the framework of prosodic bootstrapping, behavioral studies suggest infants approach this ... Read more...
