Narrative Content as Described by Individuals with Down Syndrome and Typically Developing Children.

Miles, Sally; Chapman, Robin S.

Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, v45 n1 p175-89 Feb 2002

Narratives of a wordless picture story by 33 individuals with Down syndrome (ages 12-26) and 99 typical children were analyzed. Individuals with Down syndrome expressed more plot line and thematic content and retold more of one of the protagonists' misadventures than the children matched for mean length of utterance.
