PRIMO SVILUPPO COMUNICATIVO-LINGUISTICO IN BAMBINI PRETERMINE SENZA DANNO NEUROLOGICO.
This study aimed to explore the early comunicative and language development in 10 Italian preterm infants without central nervous system insults and in 10 Italian full-term infants. All participants were assessed longitudinally
through the questionnaire “Il Primo Vocabolario del Bambino” (PVB), administered to the mothers monthly between 10 and 18 months of age.To reterm infants both chronological age and age correction for prematurity were applied. The measures derived by PVB were: gestures production, words comprehensionand production in each age.
Results – on the basis of chronological age – indicated that
preterm infants exhibited an initial and transient delay and disharmonic profiles in all aspects examined, with scores within the lower limits of typical development range. Otherwise, on the basis of age correction, preterm infants show performaces, since the first observations, on or over the mean value. In conclusion using the age correction for prematurity the communicative and language abilities of preterm infants were overestimated and the initial delay
of language development was underestimated. Findings are discussed considering the role of gestational age on early language development and the utility of correct age on the assessment of preterm infants during the second year of age
Le parole per dirlo: sviluppo del linguaggio e funzioni esecutive in bambini fra i 24 e i 30 mesi
A growing body of research shows a close association between language development and Executive Function (EF). However, these studies are mostly focused on school-aged children. Much less is known about this issue in preschoolers and/or toddlers. The aim of this study was to address this gap by exploring the relationships between emerging EF skills (working memory, inhi- bition, cognitive exibility) and age-appropriate linguistic measures (lexical ability, function word omissions, Mean Length of Utterance - MLU) during toddlerhood. Two groups (24-30 months of age), each one consisting of 20 typically developing children, participated in the study. The results showed that the relations between cognitive and linguistic measures changed from 24 to 30 months of age: at 24 months, only morpho-syntactic measures signi cantly correlated with cognitive exibility, whereas at 30 months both lexical ability and LME signi cantly correlated with the three FE mea- sures. Moreover, function word omissions correlated with cognitive exibility and inhibition. When checking on age and lexical ability, only cognitive exibility was associated with morpho-syntactic complexity. These results are discussed in the light of emergentist-dynamic developmental models
