The ability of children with mental retardation and of children without mental retardation matched to them on nonverbal MA to use (a) contextual information and (b) clarification requests to resolve referential ambiguity was evaluated. Each child pretended to be a storekeeper and responded to an adult customer's ambiguous requests. The context disambiguated the request in some cases, but not in others. Both groups of children selected the appropriate referent when the context was informative. Only the children without mental retardation appropriately requested clarification when the context was uninformative. Referential performance was not related to their receptive language level or nonverbal MAs.
对患有智力迟钝的儿童以及在非语言心理年龄上与之匹配的无智力迟钝儿童，就其利用（a）上下文信息和（b）澄清请求来解决指称歧义的能力进行了评估。每个孩子假装是一名店主，并回应成年顾客的歧义请求。在某些情况下，上下文消除了请求的歧义，但在其他情况下则没有。当上下文提供信息时，两组儿童都选择了合适的所指对象。只有无智力迟钝的儿童在上下文未提供信息时适当地请求了澄清。指称表现与他们的接受性语言水平或非语言心理年龄无关。
