The Role of Language in Nonlinguistic Stimuli: Comparing Inhibition in Children With Language Impairment

Conclusions Caution is needed in stimuli selection when examining executive function skills because, although stimuli may be selected on the basis of being “nonlinguistic and auditory,” the type of stimuli chosen can differentially affect performance. The findings have implications for the interpretation of deficits in executive function as well as the selection of stimuli in future studies.
