“…One of these areas appears to be the lexicon ( Rice, 1991;Leonard, 1998). Since the earliest studies of children with SLI, it has been known that ® rst words appear late in these children's speech, and subsequent lexical development is protracted (e.g., Nice, 1925;Bender, 1940;Werner, 1945;Morley, Court, Miller and Garside, 1955). When otherwise-normal children who are slow in their lexical development at 24± 30 months are followed across time, up to half are diagnosed as SLI (e.g., Rescorla and Schwartz, 1990).…”

Two studies examined preschoolers' ability to assign verb interpretations to nonsense words encountered in conjunction with novel actions. Experiment 1 examined the ability of children with specific language impairment (SLI) and younger, normally developing peers to glean a very interpretation when the name of the figure performing the novel action was already known. The two groups of children performed in a similar, accurate fashion. Experiment 2 required preschoolers to rely exclusively on morphosyntactic information to determine whether the novel word represented an object or action. When provided with redundant morphosyntactic cues, children with SLI and language- and age-matched peers succeeded in identifying the novel words that referred to objects but not those that referred to actions. Only the age-matched normal peers were above chance levels when a noun interpretation depended on a single grammatical morpheme (e.g., 'We want the koob' versus 'We want to koob'). The findings suggest that preschoolers, whether or not they have language impairment, have difficulty using morphosyntactic information to bootstrap verbs. Furthermore, redundant but not single morphosyntactic cues facilitate the bootstrapping of nouns.

“…In view of the scarcity of information in the literature a study of these particular aspects of the problem was planned. On completion of the study, Morley et al (1955) described 72 cases, seen over a six-vear period, in which similar disorders of speech were observed. Material The cases were selected from children who within the previous five years had attended the medical outpatient department and speech clinics of the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London.…”

“…In spite of this, there is little doubt that in the majority of these children " babbling" occurred normally, yet the correct use of words was delayed long enough for the condition to be regarded as frankly abnormal -that is, until after the age of 2 years (Sheldon, 1955;Morley et al, 1955). A search for the cause of such arrest operating at or after 1 year of age is obviously indicated.…”

“…By attendance at a nursery school or speech or child guidance clinic, or by simply advising parents, 60% of these children can start school without an impediment. Still further psychological disturbance, such as described by Morley et al (1950) an;Ingram and Reid (1956), may thereby be avoided. Morley et al (1955) suggest that the more severe and less responsive cases are due to " delayed neurological development "-a highly selective deficiency.…”

“…In others there were multiple executive speech defects, and although one needs to be cautious in applying concepts of adult neurology to developmental disorders (Ingram and Barn 1961) these may perhaps be properly termed aphasic. Like aphasic children (Morley et al 1955), many autistic children remained dysarthric or dyslalic when speech recovered. It has sometimes been argued that aphasia and psychosis are virtually synonymous, but clearly there are differences.…”

SUMMARY I believe that child psychosis is not part of schizophrenia. It is a disorder which is usually associated with receptive and executive speech defects. These are often, but not always, part of a more general organic damage to the brain. Other disorders of perception are probably important in some children. Psychosis is not primarily emotional in origin and psychogenic factors usually play only a secondary role in the development of the condition. However, the child's emotional relationships may be fundamental in determining whether or not he is able to overcome his handicaps. Finally, the education received by the autistic child is a very important influence on outcome. RÉSUMÉ L'influence de facteurs organiques et émotifs sur l'origine, la nature et les conséquences des psychoses de l'enfance. Je crois que la psychose de l'enfance ne fait pas partie de la schizophrénie. C'est un désordre habituellement associéà des déficiences de parole réceptives et exécutives. Celles‐ci constituent souvent, mais pas toujours, un aspect d'une lésion organique plus générale du cerveau. D'autres désordres de la perception sont probablement importants chez quelques enfants. La psychose n'est pas principalement émotive d'origine; les facteurs psychogéniques ne jouent habituellement qu'un rôle secondaire dans le développement de cet état. Pourtant, les relations émotives de l'enfant peuvent être fondamentale pour déterminer s'il sera capable ou non de surmonter son handicap. Finalement, l'éducation reçue par l'enfant autiste a une très importante influence sur l'avenir. ZUSAMMENFASSUNG Die Auswirkungen organischer und emotionaler Faktoren bei Ursprung, Charakter und Folgen der Kinderpsychose Kinderpsychose gehört nicht zu den schizophrenen Krankheiten. Es ist eine Störung, die meistens mit rezeptiven und exekutiven Sprechbehinderungen verbunden ist. Diese sind oft, doch nicht immer, Bestandteile einer mehr organischen Gehirnschädigung. Andere Perzeptionsstörungen sind wahrscheinlich wichtig bei einigen Kindern. Psychose ist nicht an erster Stelle emotionalen Ursprungs, und psychogenische Faktoren spielen mesitens nur eine zweitrangige Rolle bei der Entwicklung dieses Zustandes. Trotzdem können die emotionalen Beziehungsverhältnisse des Kindes von wesentlicher Bedeutung sein, wenn man feststellen will, ob es fähig sein wird, seine Behinderungen zu überwinden. Die Erziehung und Ausbildung, die man dem autistischen Kinde zukommen lässt, übt einen sehr wichtigen Einfluss auf das Endergebnis aus. RESUMEN La influencia de factures orgánicos y emocionales en los origenes, el carácter, y el progreso de la psicosis en los niños. Creo que la psicosis en los niños no forma parte de la esquizofrenia. Es una enfermedad asociada por lo general con defectos receptivos y ejecutivos de lenguaje. Muchas veces, pero no siempre, estos defectos forman parte de un dano mas general del cérebro. Es probable que otros disturbios de percepción sean importantes en algunos niños. El origen de la psicosis no es primariamente emocional, y los factores psic...
