Language Development01:22

Language Development

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Introduction to Language of Pathophysiology ll

This lesson explores key terms that describe how diseases progress, their outcomes, and their distribution in populations.Diagnostic tests identify diseases and monitor treatment. These include blood and urine tests, biopsies, imaging (X-ray, MRI), and detection of infectious agents.Remission is a reduction or disappearance of symptoms.Exacerbation refers to the worsening of symptoms, such as increased wheezing during an asthma attack.A precipitating factor triggers an acute episode, while a...
Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

Language serves as a bridge between ideas and communication, influencing how individuals perceive and interact with the world. Psychologists have long debated whether language shapes thought or vice versa. This discussion gained grip with Edward Sapir and Benjamin Lee Whorf in the 1940s, who proposed that language determines thought, a concept known as linguistic determinism. They suggested that the vocabulary and structure of a language influence how its speakers think and perceive reality.
Long-term Depression01:03

Long-term Depression

Long-term depression, or LTD, is one of the ways by which synaptic plasticity—changes in the strength of chemical synapses—can occur in the brain. LTD is the process of synaptic weakening that occurs over time between pre and postsynaptic neuronal connections. The synaptic weakening of LTD works in opposition to synaptic strengthening by long-term potentiation (LTP) and together are the main mechanisms that underlie learning and memory.

Learning Disabilities01:25

Learning Disabilities

Learning disabilities are cognitive disorders caused by neurological impairments that affect cognitive functions like language and reading, without indicating overall intellectual or developmental challenges. These disabilities differ from global intellectual or developmental disabilities as they are limited to distinct cognitive functions. Common learning disabilities include dysgraphia, dyslexia, and dyscalculia, each of which impacts unique aspects of learning.

Area of Science:

  • Developmental Pediatrics
  • Neuropsychology
  • Speech-Language Pathology

Background:

  • Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) affects preschool children.
  • Comorbid neurological and psychiatric conditions are common in DLD.
  • Prognosis for DLD can be influenced by these comorbidities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of neurologic and psychiatric comorbidity on the prognosis of developmental language disorder.
  • To assess long-term outcomes in individuals with DLD.

Main Methods:

  • Longitudinal study of 470 preschool children (4-7 years) with language learning impairment.
  • Exclusion of deaf children.
  • Follow-up via questionnaires in adulthood (36-45 years).

Main Results:

  • 200 responses received; responders matched non-responders on childhood parameters.
  • High prevalence of neurological (58%) and psychiatric (51%) comorbidity.
  • Significant reading difficulties persisted into adulthood (54%).
  • Lower rates of completed education and employment.
  • Neurological comorbidity was a key factor in determining prognosis.

Conclusions:

  • Neurological and psychiatric comorbidities are prevalent in DLD and significantly affect prognosis.
  • Specialized evaluation by pediatric neurologists and neuropsychologists is essential.
  • Identifying cognitive deficits is critical for targeted habilitation and improved outcomes.
