The Speech of Hyperactive Children and Their Mothers: Comparison with Normal Children and Stimulant Drug Effects.
Barkley, Russell A.; And Others
Journal of Learning Disabilities, v16 n2 p105-10 Feb 1983
Verbal interactions of 18 hyperactive boys (8 to 11 years old) with their mothers during 15-minute free play and task periods were studied and compared to interactions of 18 normal boys with their mothers. Both hyperactive boys and their mothers were found to use significantly more utterances in free play than normal mother-child dyads. (Author/SEW)
