Abstract:
PURPOSE: This paper summarises the clinical ramification of a large-scale study of the direct and indirect (mediated) influences of four cognitive mechanisms that are relevant to the comprehension of syntactic structure by school-age children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD). METHOD: 117 children with DLD and 117 propensity-matched typically-developing (TD) children completed sentence comprehension tasks and cognitive tasks related to fluid reasoning, controlled attention, speed of processing, phonological short-term memory, complex working memory and language knowledge in long-term memory. RESULT: Results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the most salient characteristics of cognitive processing in children with and without DLD was represented by a measurement model that included four latent variables: fluid reasoning, controlled attention, complex working memory, and language knowledge in long-term memory. Structural equation modeling indicated that complex working memory mediated the relationship between sentence comprehension and fluid reasoning, controlled attention, and long-term memory for language knowledge. CONCLUSION: Our research suggests that the most salient characteristics of cognitive processing in children with and without DLD can be condensed to four cognitive factors: fluid reasoning, controlled attention, complex working memory, and language knowledge in long-term memory). We suggest a few measures that clinicians can use to reliably assess these factors, and we summarise a functional intervention program that is designed to promote strategic organisation of information in ways that challenge verbal complex WM and LTM processes that support language comprehension and use.
