Language Development

852
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...

Language and Cognition01:27

Language and Cognition

715
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.

Autism Spectrum Disorder

981
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Area of Science:

  • Linguistics
  • Developmental Psychology
  • Clinical Research

Background:

  • Adolescents with developmental language disorder (DLD) are an underserved population, impacting their academic and economic future.
  • Accurate and clinically feasible screening tools are needed for adolescents with DLD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify clinically feasible screening tools for adolescents with DLD.
  • To appraise the methodological quality of studies reporting classification accuracy of these screeners.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic search of PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science.
  • Inclusion of 15 records describing DLD screening tasks for ages 12-21.
  • Quality appraisal using the Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies 2 (QUADAS-2) protocol.

Main Results:

  • Six of 15 tasks reported diagnostic accuracy; three showed clinically useful accuracy for screening adolescents at risk for DLD.
  • No studies fully met QUADAS-2 standards, indicating potential risks of bias in accuracy findings.

Conclusions:

  • Two English-language commercial screeners are available; one Danish screener is also noted.
  • Further research with rigorous methods is needed to enhance clinician confidence in DLD screening tools for adolescents.
