  • Title: Syntactic abilities of neurologically normal and suspect preterm children.
    Author: Holdgrafer G.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 1996 Oct; 83(2):615-8. PubMed ID: 8902040.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the syntactic abilities of neurologically normal and suspect preterm children at preschool age to characterize their language skills and to assess specific differences between groups. The Index of Productive Syntax was used to score language transcripts. The children exhibited reduced syntactic performance, particularly in the use of questions, negatives, and complex sentence structure. Children considered to be neurologically suspect had more difficulty with development of verb phrases than did neurologically normal children.
