Precursors of Dyslexia in Early Conversational Turn Exchange
Smith, Allan B.; Locke, John L.; Farkas, Laurie
Topics in Language Disorders, v28 n1 p5 Jan-Mar 2008
The conversational timing patterns of three year old children who were at a high familial risk for dyslexia were examined in the course of their interaction with adults. Findings indicated that previously documented differences in speech timing surface as subtle differences in spontaneous child-adult conversation as early as three years of age.
