The case of AZ provides evidence supporting the existence of a genetically determined, specialised mechanism that is necessary for the normal development of human language.

A new framework in which interactions, occurring at all levels, give rise to emergent forms and behaviors that are not themselves directly contained in the genes in any domain-specific way is described.

A speech processing algorithm was developed to create more salient versions of the rapidly changing elements in the acoustic waveform of speech that have been shown to be deficiently processed by language-learning impaired (LLI) children.

Intensive study of one phenomenon of English grammar and how it is processed and acquired suggest that both theories of language and cognition are partly right.
ScienceTemporal Processing Deficits of Language-Learning Impaired Children Ameliorated by Training
1,006 Citations1996Michael M. Merzenich, William M. Jenkins +4 more
Children with language-based learning impairments with major deficits in their recognition of some rapidly successive phonetic elements and nonspeech sound stimuli were engaged in adaptive training exercises mounted as computer "games" designed to drive improvements in their "temporal processing" skills.
NatureDefects of Non-Verbal Auditory Perception in Children with Developmental Aphasia
681 Citations1973Paula Tallal, Malcolm Piercy
Examining children with developmental aphasia demonstrated inferior discrimination of sound quality to which a sequencing difficulty could be secondary and suggested that auditory perceptual deficits, particularly of sequencing, may be the primary dysfunction.

615 Citations1971Peter Bryant, Tom Trabasso
Contrary to the conclusions of Piaget, young children can make transitive inferences if precautions are taken to prevent deficits of memory from being confused with inferential deficits.

The data support the view that language difficulties result from problems in auditory perception, and provide further information about the nature of these perceptual problems that should contribute to improving the diagnosis and treatment of language impairment and related disorders.

Investigations of the same KE family indicate that the inherited disorder has a broad phenotype which transcends impaired generation of syntactical rules and includes a striking articulatory impairment as well as defects in intellectual, linguistic, and orofacial praxic functions generally.

There is good evidence that genetic factors play a role in the aetiology of speech and language impairment; twin data may help to arrive at a clearer conception of the phenotype as well as quantifying the extent of the genetic contribution.

The data revealed that brothers and to a lesser degree sisters had a higher familial association with language impairment than did the parents, suggesting that the factors that contribute to developmental language disorders are at least in part associated with the family unit.

The results are consistent with a genetic basis underlying Grammatical SLI: the pattern of impairment in the SLI probands' relatives is consistent with an autosomal dominant genetic inheritance and the gene does not appear to be sex-linked.

Ultrasound scans of a preterm neonate at seven weeks of age showed periventricular echo‐ free cavities, but these were no longer visible at 15 weeks, three weeks before the infant died, demonstrating that transient echo‐free cavities represent foci of cystic necrosis, which are subject to secondary collapse.

The study investigates the use of referential expressions (e.g. pronouns) in a narrative discourse, and provides insight into the underlying nature of Grammatical SLI, thereby contributing to the modularity debate.
