This study describes the spontaneous imitations produced by four Stage 1 Down's syndrome children. The imitative speech of the children was compared to their spontaneous productions to determine whether words imitated are different from those produced spontaneously. The findings suggest that Down's children are similar to normal-language learners in that they selectively imitate model utterances during this linguistic stage.
本研究描述了四名1期唐氏综合征儿童产生的自发模仿行为。将这些儿童的模仿言语与其自发表达进行比较,以确定模仿的单词是否与自发产生的单词不同。研究结果表明,唐氏儿童与正常语言学习者相似,因为他们在这个语言阶段会选择性地模仿示范话语。
