Auditory Lexical Decisions in Developmental Language Disorder: A Meta-Analysis of Behavioral Studies

Conclusion Results broadly support the hypothesis that children with DLD have difficulty in forming detailed lexical representations relative to age- though not language-matched peers. However, further work is required to determine the performance profiles of potential subgroups and the impact of manipulating different lexical characteristics, such as the position and degree of nonword error, phonotactic probability, and semantic network size.
