Communicative Development in Twins with Discordant Histories of Recurrent Otitis Media.
Hemmer, Virginia Hoey; Ratner, Nan Bernstein
Journal of Communication Disorders, v27 n2 p91-106 Jun 1994
The communicative abilities of six sets of same-sex, preschool dizygotic twins were examined. In each dyad, one sibling had a strong history of recurrent otitis media (ROM) but the other twin did not. History of ROM was associated with lowered receptive vocabulary, with no consistent effects detected in expressive speech and language tasks. (Author/JDD)
