Nonverbal Indicants of Comprehension Monitoring in Language-Disordered Children.

Skarakis-Doyle, Elizabeth; And Others

Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders, v55 n3 p461-67 Aug 1990

This study of 8 language-disordered children, ages 5-8, found that subjects increased their nonverbal behavior as message conditions changed from unambiguous to ambiguous. Nonverbal indication was generally the only signal of ambiguity detection exhibited by subjects and language-matched peers, whereas age-matched peers consistently indicated awareness through more direct means.
