Deprivation and Communication.
Cloke, Daphne
Educational Studies, v9 n3 p199-209 1983
A case study of a pair of extremely deprived twin boys focuses on their verbal communication. Talkativeness alone was not regarded as a measure of intelligence, but attention was paid to the less talkative twin's greater use of imaginative speech. Speculations are made on the evolutionary role of creative speech. (IS)
