Who shall be Called Language Disordered? Some Reflections and One PerspectiveAmerican Speech Language Hearing Association - Tập 55 Số 4 - Trang 612-620 - 1990
Margaret Lahey
This paper discusses some issues involved in identifying children who have
language problems. The perspective taken is that (a) the goal of identification
must be clearly distinguished from other goals of assessment; (b) identification
of children with language disorders is better based on language performance than
on inferences about the language knowledge that underlies this performance; (c)

The Identification of Language Impairment in the Selection of Specifically Language-Impaired SubjectsAmerican Speech Language Hearing Association - Tập 55 Số 3 - Trang 468-475 - 1990
Rebecca J. McCauley, M. J. Demetras
This review focused on the methods used to identify language impairment in
specifically language-impaired subjects participating in 72 research studies
that were described in four journals from 1983 to 1988. The single most frequent
source of information used in the identification process was found to be test
data. There was, however, considerable variability and, often, a lack of clarity

Selection of Children with Specific Language DeficitsAmerican Speech Language Hearing Association - Tập 46 Số 2 - Trang 114-122 - 1981
Rachel E. Stark, Paula Tallal
A standard approach to the selection of children with specific language deficit
was devised. The approach was based on a current definition of specific language
deficit that depends heavily on exclusion criteria. Children with known language
deficit who had hearing impairment, cognitive deficit, neurologic deficit, or
emotional or behavioral disorder were excluded. Both the exclusion criteria and

On the Subject of SubjectsAmerican Speech Language Hearing Association - Tập 50 Số 3 - Trang 282-286 - 1985
Howard Goldstein, Susan Wickstrom, Laurie Johnson
Recent child language intervention literature was analyzed to determine the
content and consistency of subject descriptions. The amount and type of
descriptive information varied widely both within and among journals. In view of
the potential importance of such descriptions and the apparent lack of standards
for acceptability, suggestions were developed and forwarded as a working model
for describ... hiện toàn bộ

Auditory Dysfunction Accompanying Noise-Induced Hearing LossAmerican Speech Language Hearing Association - Tập 41 Số 3 - Trang 374-380 - 1976
Robert C. Findlay
Two groups of 16 young male subjects with normal low- and midfrequency hearing
were compared on a series of audiometric measures. One group was composed of
subjects with 12- to 24-month histories of noise exposure and hearing loss at
4000 Hz greater than 40 dB; the other group was composed of normal-hearing
subjects with no history of unusual noise exposure. On fixed-frequency Bekesy
audiometry at... hiện toàn bộ
Subcortical Lesions and AphasiaAmerican Speech Language Hearing Association - Tập 55 Số 1 - Trang 90-100 - 1990
Donald A. Robin, Steven Schienberg
Recent evidence suggests that subcortical lesions can give rise to aphasic
symptoms. Two subcortical structures thought to participate in the pathogenesis
of aphasia are the basal ganglia and the thalamus. This paper reports on 3
patients with lesions of the thalamus and 10 patients with lesions of the basal
ganglia, most of whom had persistent aphasias. The role of subcortical
structures in aphas... hiện toàn bộ
