The neurocognition of developmental language disorder

Michael Ullman, PhD
Department of Neuroscience, Georgetown University

Developmental language disorder (DLD) is a common neurodevelopmental
disorder with adverse impacts that continue into adulthood. In this
talk I will give an overview of the neurocognition of DLD, including a
summary of the language and cognitive abilities that are generally
impacted in the disorder, and findings from a recently published
neuroanatomical meta-analysis of DLD. I will discuss explanatory
accounts of DLD, with a focus on a neuroanatomical account—the
Procedural circuit Deficit Hypothesis (PDH)—which posits that DLD can
be largely explained by abnormalities of the basal ganglia. As we will
see, converging language, cognitive, and neurobiological evidence
lends support to this perspective, which appears to have greater
explanatory power than linguistic, cognitive, or genetic accounts of
DLD. I will discuss future directions, including both diagnostic and
therapeutic implications. Finally, I will briefly discuss the PDH as a
potential explanatory account for other neurodevelopmental disorders,
some of which are often comorbid with DLD.
