“…Although this rate is higher than reported in other studies, it reflects the higher prevalence of SLI in boys than girls (Whitehouse 2010). In order to select a relatively homogeneous group of children with SLI, our inclusion criteria consisted of performance below age-expected levels in at least three out of the five following tests: the Expressive Vocabulary Test (Befi-Lopes 2004); the Phonological Short-Term Memory Test (Rodrigues and Befi-Lopes 2013); the Comprehensive Test of Phonological Processing (CTOPP, Wagner et al 1999); the Mean Length of Utterance (MLU, Araújo 2003); and the Pragmatic Test (Fernandes 2004). All children showed normal performance on nonverbal IQ.…”

This study aimed to investigate the behavior and social profile of Brazilian children with specific language impairment (SLI) and explore whether the severity of language deficits was associated with behavioral problems and low social competence. Twenty-four children with SLI aged from 6 to 11 years who showed substantial expressive language problems and were receiving speech-language therapy were assessed through the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL). Children with SLI showed high rates of behavioral problems and low levels of social competence. With the exception of two subscales ("somatic" and "rule breaker"), the percentage of children with SLI at risk of behavioral problems was significantly higher than the same proportion in the general population; and almost all children with SLI (95.2 %) demonstrated problems with social competence. The severity of language deficits was associated with the risk of behavioral problems according to only one criterion. No associations were found between the severity of language problems and social competence. The study provides cross-cultural evidence to support the existence of behavior problems and reduced social competence in children with SLI. Our findings point to the need of using a combination of measures to classify the severity of language problems rather than a single dimension.

“…Some studies demonstrated the relation between WMP and the phonological aspect, stating that children with difficulties in the organization of phonological rules present deficit ability in WMP, but there are no studies that investigate the WMP ability in children with phonetic changes only (BEFI-LOPES; TANIKAWA; CÁCERES, 2012; RODRIGUES; BEFI-LOPES, 2013;VIEIRA, 2014).…”

to verify the performance of children with Phonological Deviation and Phonetic Deviation inWorking Memory -Phonological loop skills regarding the comparison group. 81 children participated, between five and six years old, of both sexes, attending the first year of primary education in municipal schools. They were divided into three groups, G1 -children with Phonological Deviation; G2 -children with Phonetic Deviation and G3 -children without speech or language disorders (comparative group). The Working Memory -Phonological loop was evaluated by the Repeatition of Words Without Meaning test. Kruskal-Wallis and Dunn's Statistical Tests were used, adopting p <0.05 as significant. The G3 group showed superior performance in the syllabic categories of two, three and four syllables when compared to G1 and G2. When comparing G1 and G2, it was observed a superior performance of G2. In all groups, it was showed a decrease of right answers when increasing the length of words. The deficits in Working Memory -Phonological loop ability were observed in children with both Phonological Deviation and Phonetic Deviation, but children with Phonological Deviation presented significantly lower performance. The results suggest the relation of the Working Memory -Phonological loop with the development of speech and language.

“…This index is commonly used to compare speakers of several ages with distinct speech characteristics (12) . Studies have shown that 6-year-old children who do not evidence phonological impairment have a PCC-R with an accuracy rate higher than 95% (13) , whereas same-aged children with SLI show average values lower than 75% (10) .…”

Objetivo Caracterizar a alteração fonológica e o desempenho na memória de curto prazo fonológica de escolares com distúrbio específico de linguagem (DEL), além de investigar se há correlação entre essas variáveis. Métodos O grupo foi composto por 15 escolares com DEL, de ambos os gêneros (14 meninos), com idades variando entre 7 anos e 12 anos e 11 meses. Todos estavam em terapia fonoaudiológica. A alteração fonológica foi caracterizada pela Porcentagem de Consoantes Corretas Revisada (PCC-R) das provas de Fonologia do ABFW. A memória de curto prazo fonológica foi avaliada a partir da porcentagem de acertos na similaridade e na extensão das pseudopalavras do Teste de Repetição de Pseudopalavras. A correlação foi investigada a partir do PCC-R, em cada prova, e da porcentagem total de acertos na repetição das pseudopalavras. Resultados Não houve diferença entre o PCC-R na nomeação de figuras e na imitação de palavras e o desempenho na memória de curto prazo fonológica foi melhor quando a similaridade das pseudopalavras era maior e o número de sílabas menor. Houve correlação positiva entre a fonologia e a memória de curto prazo fonológica. Todavia, enquanto o desempenho na fonologia esteve próximo do máximo de acertos possíveis, na memória de curto prazo o desempenho médio não alcançou a metade dos acertos possíveis. A média de acertos na porcentagem de consoantes corretas foi superior a 85%. Conclusão O desempenho dos escolares com DEL na memória de curto prazo fonológica diferiu quanto à similaridade e à extensão das pseudopalavras. Constatou-se ainda correlação positiva entre estas variáveis.

Abstract: The test designed in this research was able to verify the short-term memory in typically language developing children and the results showed correlation between this memory and phonological performance.
