Characteristics of children with SLI and of TLD controls—Experiment 1.
| SLI | TLD | Group effect F(1, 26) = p-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age in years, months (range) | 11.6 | 11.9 (9.1–14.6) | Ns |
| (8.7–14.5) | (9.1–14.6) | ||
| Word repetition (SD) | 20.07 | 29.86 | F = 54.02 |
| (4.97) | (0.36) | p < 0.001 | |
| Vocabulary EVIP (SD) | 91.14 | 132.71 | F = 29.81 |
| (22.65) | (17.28) | p < 0.001 | |
| Irregular words (SD) | 7.71 | 19.07 | F = 37.63 |
| (6.68) | (1.82) | p < 0.001 | |
| Regular words (SD) | 10.29 | 19.86 | F = 28.62 |
| (6.67) | (0.53) | p < 0.001 | |
| Pseudo words (SD) | 7.07 | 17.50 | F = 40.34 |
| (5.89) | (1.74) | p < 0.001 |
Word repetition values indicate number of correct responses (out of 30) on the repetition test taken from the L2MA language battery; Values for Vocabulary indicate raw score on the EVIP test; Irregular Words, Regular Words and Pseudo Words values indicate number of correct responses (out of 20) on the reading tests for frequent items taken from Odedys battery. Standard deviations are in brackets.
