Two groups of language-impaired children, an 'expressive language impairment' group and a 'development dyspraxic' group, aged between 4 and 6 years, were assessed on a set of test sentences designed to tap syntactic comprehension. Expressive language was profiled for both experimental groups. A control group completed the syntactic comprehension test only. The results indicate that children with apparently isolated defects of expressive syntax do, in fact, have subtle deficits of comprehension in comparison to age-matched controls. The deficit can be detected in a syntactic decoding task. Comprehension strategies used by this group are examined. The 'dyspraxic' group did not perform significantly differently to controls.
两组语言障碍儿童，一组为“表达性语言障碍”组，另一组为“发育性运动障碍”组，年龄在4至6岁之间，他们接受了一组旨在测试句法理解能力的测试句子评估。对两个实验组的表达性语言进行了剖析。一个对照组仅完成了句法理解测试。结果表明，与年龄匹配的对照组相比，那些明显存在孤立性表达句法缺陷的儿童实际上在理解方面存在细微缺陷。这种缺陷可以在句法解码任务中被检测到。研究了该组儿童使用的理解策略。“运动障碍”组的表现与对照组没有显著差异。
