I spoke to Clare Smith, a PhD student at the University of Surrey investigating risk factors for early indicators of language delay.
17 These tests, which are sensitive indicators of language impairment, 18 tap short term memory.
Our study specifically concerned early indicators of language acquisition in toddlers, where direct assessment of ability can be challenging.
To answer our second research question, we will perform multilevel multivariable logistic regression analysis to investigate the contribution of the patient-related independent explanatory variables (SES indicators, Dutch language proficiency, health literacy, cultural distance, and religion) to the risk of experiencing an AE.
The present study focuses on reading as an indicator of language proficiency, thus, the findings are not necessarily generalizable to the other skills.
In particular, we examine the impact of the ethnic capital network variable in addition to the traditional ethnic concentration indicator and language proficiency on the likelihood of self-employment.
Continuing this potentially valuable vein of research, Oram Cardy and colleagues conducted additional studies to further demonstrate that the latency of this early response is a useful indicator of language functioning and comprehension development in children [23].
Nonetheless, the association detected in our samples shows a strong correlation to nonword-repetition ability which has repeatedly been shown to be a strong indicator of language impairment.
Accent differences of this kind are extremely important as regional and class indicators in every language.
That means, for example, working with schools in deprived areas, and agreeing "milestones and indicators" (much softer language than those tough-sounding "targets") to monitor progress.Left-wingers say that OFFA is a sell-out, which it is but in a futile battle.
