Abstract
In attempting to gain a better understanding of the pathogenesis of developmental dysphasia, research has focused on the associated characteristics of language-disordered children. These studies initially focused on the most obvious surface symptomatology, that is the linguistic dysfunction of these children. Subsequent studies have focused on nonlinguistic characteristics which commonly are associated with or accompany the language disorder, such as neuropsychological (perceptual, motor, memory, cognitive) dysfunction or social and emotional disturbance.
