背景资料：先前的一些研究表明，特定语言障碍儿童在语音工作记忆方面存在局限性，这一点可以通过一项要求他们重复音节长度增加的非单词的任务来发现。然而，大多数已发表的研究使用的非字，是phonotactically英语。目的：其目的是检查的重复狮子字弧符合西班牙语的音位结构模式。方法和步骤：11名西班牙语特殊语言障碍儿童和11名年龄匹配的8岁、3-10岁的典型语言发育儿童; 11人参加了这项研究，他们是一项更大的句子处理研究的一部分。主要数据是孩子们重复20个非单词，每个音节长度四个（一个、两个、三个、四个和五个音节）。孩子们的生产转录和评分非字，段和集群的准确性，以及错误type.Outcomes和结果：特定语言障碍的儿童表现更差的几乎所有措施的准确性，但特别是在他们的生产三，四，和五个音节的非字。替换是两组最常见的错误类型。似然比表明，非单词重复性能是一个高度准确的标识符的语言状态，在这些预选组。孩子们的非字重复是高度相关的，大多数的标准化的语言措施，管理到children.Conclusions：与西班牙语phonotacrics一致的非字的重复揭示单词长度的影响和错误模式，发现在以前的研究中。它将这些发现扩展到具有特定语言障碍的年龄较大的讲西班牙语的儿童。鉴于可用于识别特定语言障碍儿童的工具选择有限，西班牙语非单词重复任务有可能成为临床和研究目的的有价值的筛选测试。
Background: A number of previous studies have revealed that children with Specific Language Impairment have limitations in Phonological Working Memory as revealed by a task that requires them to repeat non-words of increasing syllable length. However, most published studies have used non-words that are phonotactically English.Aims: The purpose was to examine the repetition of lion-words that arc consistent with the phonotactic patterns of Spanish. The study also examined the relationship between non-word repetition performance and other language measures.Methods & Procedures: Eleven Spanish-speaking children with Specific Language Impairment and I I age-matched children with typical language development aged 8;3-10;11, who were part of a larger study of sentence processing, participated in the study The primary data were the children's repetition of 20 non-words, four at each syllable length (one, two, three, four and five syllables). The children's productions were transcribed and scored for non-word, segmental and cluster accuracy as well as for error type.Outcomes & Results: The children with Specific Language Impairment performed more poorly on almost all measures of accuracy, but particularly in their production of three-, four-, and five-syllable non-words. Substitutions were the most frequent error type for both groups. Likelihood ratios indicated that non-word repetition performance is a highly accurate identifier of language status in these preselected groups. The children's non-word repetition was highly correlated with most of the standardized language measures that were administered to the children.Conclusions: The repetition of non-words consistent with Spanish phonotacrics reveals word-length effects and error patterns similar to those found in previous studies. It extends these findings to older school-age Spanish-speaking children with Specific Language Impairment. Given the limited choices for instruments that can be used to identify children with Specific Language Impairment, a Spanish Non-word Repetition Task has the potential to be a valuable screening test for clinical and research purposes.
