项目摘要

Abstract Poor language skills are associated with numerous negative outcomes ranging from higher rates of tantrums and difficulty developing friendships to school failure, contact with the justice system, and increased victimization. Although language deficits may be noticed as early as toddlerhood, effective treatment may not begin this early and there is relatively little time to close the language gap before these children are faced with the increased language demands of formal education and the cumulative effects of academic struggle. For the 7-13% of children with impaired language skills, language treatments that are faster and more effective are urgently needed. This competing renewal addresses this need with a series of studies that translate basic research in statistical learning to treatment contexts. The Statistical Learning Framework posits children extract word meaning and grammatical structure from the distributional information contained in the language input they receive and accounts for rapid implicit language learning. The proposed studies take an experimental approach in which theoretically-motivated treatment factors are tested in two groups of children with poor language skills. “Late Talkers” are children (ages 2-3 years) who are identified by their very limited number of vocabulary words that they know and use. Preschool children with Developmental Language Disorder (ages 4-5 years) show marked deficits in the use of grammatical morphemes. We will directly address the issue of non-responders (i.e., children who make limited improvement despite treatment that is effective for others), a problem inherent to all treatment research. We leverage our previous findings to predict early in the treatment process which children are highly likely to be non-responders and propose an alternative treatment method that might be better suited to this subset of children. These studies represent the necessary work for principled language treatment that is supported by evidence, and can provide insights into the nature of learning in a range of children with poor language skills.

抽象的语言能力差会带来许多负面结果，包括发脾气率升高以及难以与学业失败、与司法系统接触以及受害现象增加建立友谊。尽管语言缺陷早在幼儿时期就可能被发现，但有效的治疗可能不会这么早就开始在这些孩子面临日益增加的语言障碍之前，他们几乎没有时间来弥合语言差距。正规教育的语言要求和学术斗争的累积效应。对于 7-13% 的对于语言能力受损的儿童，迫切需要更快、更有效的语言治疗需要。这种竞争性的更新通过一系列研究来解决这一需求，这些研究将基础研究转化为治疗背景的统计学习。统计学习框架假设孩子们提取单词从语言输入中包含的分布信息中获取含义和语法结构接受并解释快速内隐语言学习。拟议的研究采用实验方法其中在两组语言能力较差的儿童中测试了理论上驱动的治疗因素。 “说话晚者”是指词汇量非常有限的儿童（2-3 岁）他们知道并使用。患有发展性语言障碍的学龄前儿童（4-5岁）表现语法语素的使用存在明显缺陷。我们将直接解决无响应者的问题（即尽管治疗对其他人有效但改善有限的儿童），这是所有人固有的问题治疗研究。我们利用之前的发现在治疗过程的早期预测哪些儿童很可能是无反应者，并提出可能更适合的替代治疗方法对于这部分儿童。这些研究代表了原则性语言治疗的必要工作，即有证据支持，可以深入了解一系列贫困儿童的学习本质语言能力。
