Analogical Learning and Transfer in Language-Impaired Children

Alan G. Kamhi 1, Betholyn Gentry 1, Daria Mauer 1, and Barry Gholson 1

1 Memphis State University Memphis, TN

In this study, the trial-by-trial acquisition procedures developed by Gholson, Eymard, Morgan, and Kamhi (1987) were used to examine analogical reasoning processes in school-age language-impaired (LI) children and normal age peers. Subjects were 16 LI and 16 normally developing children between the ages 6:4 and 8:9 years. Half of the subjects heard only verbal presentations of the problems, whereas the other half heard the verbal presentations while simultaneously viewing physical demonstrations of the problems. The LI children who heard only verbal presentations of the problems took significantly longer to acquire the problem solutions than the other LI children and the normal children in both conditions. There were no differences in children's performance on the transfer task. Theoretical and clinical implications of the findings are discussed.

Key Words: language • disorders • problem solving • cognition • analogic reasoning
