The relationship between vestibular stimulation and language development in a group of five primary trainable mentally deficient and five developmentally retarded preschoolers was studied. Subjects received vestibular stimulation prior to a free play situation and were monitored for spontaneous recognizable language use. Results indicated an increase in spontaneous verbal language use for both groups immediately after the stimulation periods, and suggest vestibular stimulation as an effective nonverbal intervention method for the facilitation of spontaneous language.
研究了一组五名可初级训练的智力缺陷儿童和五名发育迟缓的学龄前儿童的前庭刺激与语言发展之间的关系。在自由玩耍之前，让受试者接受前庭刺激，并监测其自发可识别的语言使用情况。结果表明，在刺激期之后，两组儿童自发语言使用均有增加，这表明前庭刺激是促进自发语言的一种有效的非语言干预方法。
