“…The 'general language' factor included 7 of the 9 measures, tapping expressive semantics (MSCA Word Knowledge, MSCA Verbal Fluency (McCarthy, 1972), Bus Story Test (Renfrew, 1997a); expressive syntax (Action Picture Test grammar score (Renfrew, 1997b)), receptive syntax (BAS verbal comprehension subtest (Elliot, Smith, & McCulloch, 1996)), verbal memory (MSCA Verbal Memory Words and Sentences (McCarthy, 1972)), and receptive phonology (Phonological Awareness task (Viding et al, 2003)). The 'speech' factor included the remaining two measures in the battery, a test of articulation and a test of phonological memory (Sounds-in-Words Subtest (Goldman & Fristoe, 1986), and the Children's Test of Nonword Repetition (Gathercole & Baddeley, 1996)). This broad grouping, whereby there is a clear differentiation between measures of language versus speech but relatively little differentiation within these domains, is consistent with other reports in the literature (Tomblin & Zhang, 1999;Tomblin, Zhang, Weiss, Catts & Ellis Weismer, 2003).…”
