Developmental Differences in Visual and Auditory Processing of Complex Sentences.
Booth, James R.; MacWhinney, Brian; Harasaki, Yasuaki
Child Development, v71 n4 p981-1003 Jul-Aug 2000
Visual and auditory processing of complex sentences was examined among 8- through 11-year-olds. Findings suggested a U-shaped learning pattern for on-line processing of restrictive relative clauses. Off-line accuracy scores showed different patterns for good and poor comprehenders. Incorrect local attachment strategy use was related to sentence difficulty and high memory span combined with poor comprehension. (Author/KB)
