<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone of you give me any recent research
literature on stuttering children, and specially about planning? An unpublished
dissertation cenntred on planning, led by myself with some collaborators, has
given odd results: children under 10 with "shallow" impairment constructed
regularly (scores 99.9%, p < 0.05)relative clauses (here is the girl WHO eats
the apple, italian ecco la bambina che mangia la mela) when faced
with naming pictures, where control group described simply the subject
and the action (a girl eats an/the apple, una bambina mangia una/la mela).
Can we infer that the regular inclusion of a relative is fostered by affective
causes (i.e. hint at a second person, whom the sentence is addressed to, a
parent)? Or is it dependent on planning difficulties? Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
