Study Summary

This trial will assess whether deficits in sequential pattern learning are linked to morphological and phonological deficits in children with developmental language disorder.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults with normal hearing and no medical, educational, or developmental concerns. Participants should have been primarily exposed to English since infancy and have no history of speech, language, or hearing difficulties. It excludes those with hearing, intellectual or significant motor impairments, autism, or reported developmental disorders.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study tests the hypothesis that deficits in morphological and phonological aspects of language are connected by a broader issue in sequential pattern learning. This could lead to better early assessments and treatments for Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) in children.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

As this is a non-invasive observational study focusing on perception tasks related to language rules without any medical interventions like drugs or surgery involved, there are typically no side effects associated with participating.

Could I potentially sign up for this medical study?

"This clinical trial seeks 1260 adults between 18 and 30 afflicted with speech sound disorder. Prospective participants must have normal hearing, no medical, educational or developmental issues in their pasts; nor any history of language-related difficulties. Furthermore, the individual's primary exposure to English should begin in infancy."
