The Relationship between Cluster and Liquid Simplification and Sentence Length, Age, and IQ in Down's Syndrome Children.

Crosley, Pamela A.; Dowling, Susann

Journal of Communication Disorders, v22 n3 p151-68 Jun 1989

The phonological patterns of 22 children with Down's Syndrome, aged 6-12, were tested to assess the relationships among cluster reduction, liquid simplification and sentence length, age, and intelligence quotient. Sentence length was found to be the primary predictor of cluster reduction and liquid simplification in the children's articulatory productions. (Author/JDD)
