Elicited imitation paradigm

[Nan Bernstein Ratner]

I have used elicited imitation in middle school children; I think the issue is that the utterances and their target syntax need to be advanced enough to pose some challenge on the system. If you write to me off-list, I can provide a reprint.

Subject: Elicited imitation paradigm

Hello all,

Can anyone give me some advice on what age-groups are too old for an elicited imitation paradigm? I have read that 4 years old is quite an old age to use this paradigm, but other studies have used it up to 7 years old.

I am eliciting two clause sentences linked by a connective (before, after). When do children become at high-risk for simply 'parrotting' the target sentence?

Many thanks for any thoughts,
