<p class="MsoNormal">Can anyone give me some advice on what age-groups are too old for an
<u>elicited imitation paradigm</u>? 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.<br>
<br>
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?<br clear="all">
