Judgment tasks for SLI children

[Petra Schulz]

Dear CHILDES members,

Angelika Wittek and I are currently working on a new experiment designed to
test children's comprehension of verb meaning. The participants will be
normally developing and language impaired children roughly between the ages
of 3 and 6. We have successfully piloted with the yes/no question version of
the truth-value judgment task.

We are wondering whether the reward/punishment version of the judgment task
(a la Crain) might be more appropriate for our design and would like to know
whether this method has been used with SLI-children, and if so how old the
children were.
We would appreciate any response pointing us to relevant research.

With best regards,

Petra Schulz
