Expressive language was more affected than receptive abilities.
We also provide the empirical data to validate the relationship between preschool children's word learning performance and their existing receptive vocabulary ability.
After controlling for sex, income-to-needs, and receptive language ability, there was substantial stability within each construct as children aged.
In conclusion, general population variation in autistic traits and receptive language ability are caused by largely different etiological factors.
The questionnaire employed in the present study was not developed as a clinical tool for investigating the effect of device settings on the receptive communication ability of children.
11, 12 The difference in the level of receptive language ability for those confirmed before 9 months and those confirmed later is approximately 0.6 standard deviations.
Furthermore, these two SNPs were also found to be associated with receptive language ability, again with the same allelic trend (min P = 0.0038).
Scores on tests of intelligence (Verbal IQ and Performance IQ), reading, working memory, verbal learning, verbal recall, visual learning, and expressive and receptive language ability were analyzed.
However, this still leaves the receptive language ability of early-confirmed children on average over 1.5 standard deviations below their hearing peers.
Three quantitative measures of language were considered in this group; composite scores of expressive and receptive language ability were derived from the Clinical Evaluation of Language Fundamentals battery (CELF-R) [ 54].
