Lexical decision task is one of the methods in researching language processes. This task is a good indicator of lexical retrieval. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of differentiating words and pseudowords in children with special language impairments and controls. Many researches have shown difficulties in memorizing, storing and retrieving words in children with special language impairments, actually the delay of lexical-semantic processing in children with special language impairments. In this study participated 10 children with special language impairments and 10 controls, aged 9-11, included in speech and language therapy in Polyclinic SUVAG. Stimulus was presented visually, on screen, and in testing were used words and pseudowords from Articulation test (Vuletić, 1990). Examinees had to press a button if the word presented on the screen is a real word. The results have shown that children with special language impairments had longer reaction time and more errors. |
