Abstract:
Visually situated spoken words activate phonological, visual, and semantic representations guiding overt attention during visual exploration. We compared the activation of these representations in children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD) across four eye-tracking experiments, with a particular focus on visual (shape) representations. Two types of trials were presented in each experiment. In Experiment 1, participants heard a word while seeing an object visually associated with the spoken word (i.e., shape competitor) together with a phonologically related object. In Experiment 2 and 3, participants heard a word while seeing a shape competitor with an object semantically related to the spoken word. In Experiment 4, children heard a word while seeing a semantic competitor with the visual referent of the spoken. The results showed that when a preview was provided both groups were equally attracted by cohort and semantic competitors and preferred the shape competitors over the unrelated objects. However, shape preference disappeared in the DLD group when no preview was provided and when the shape competitor was presented with a semantic competitor. Our results indicate that children with DLD have a less efficient retrieval of shape representation during word recognition compared to typically developing children.
