“…There is some suggestion, though, that there is a gender difference in the proportional distribution of SLD. Evans (1977) found significantly more prolongations and blocks in male subjects than in female subjects and a similar but not significant trend for repetitions and interjections. This is an important issue when studying genetic syndromes and requires further research.…”

“…Willcox (1988) described repetitions of sounds, syllables, words, and phrases, and prolongations. According to Evans (1977), repetitions are most frequent, followed by interjections, prolongations, and blocks. These patterns signify a combination of both SLD and disfluencies, however, these patterns do not distinguish stuttering associated with Down syndrome from other types of stuttering not associated with Down syndrome.…”

“…The data were obtained from speech evaluations contained in medical records, but the studies have been criticized for lack of published criteria for determining the presence of stuttering (Zisk & Bailer, 1967). Evans (1977) reported a high incidence of stuttering among people with DS; in a detailed analysis, he found that all manifestations of the disorder (repetitions, prolongations, broken speech and interjections) were highly correlated. Cabanas (1954) has suggested that the dysfluency in people with DS was better described as a speech rhythm disorder known as cluttering, as their speech was hurried and lacked ideomotor planning.…”

ABSTRACT. The relationship between speech dysfluency and manual lateralisation was studied in 31 adults with Down's syndrome. Analysis of speech samples from videotapes indicated that frequency of dysfluency ranged from normal to very severe; 42% of the subjects were stutterers. Manual lateralization was measured by the demonstrated use of five objects (pencil, comb, toothbrush, ball and scissors); 61% of the subjects had a clear right‐hand preference, 13% a left‐hand preference, and the remaining subjects (39%) were mixed‐handed. Increased dysfluency was associated with increased non‐right‐handedness, and this finding could not be explained by reference to either generalized linguistic or intellectual deficits. Results suggest individual variation in the speech motor control system in adults with Down's syndrome which may be associated with anomalous cerebral dominance.

“…The present study attempted to determine whether one characteristic of these investigations-the oral response required of the subject-may have been responsible for the auditory-sequential memory deficit displayed by DS individuals. This seems possible given the verbal and articulatory demands of oral serial recall and the severe receptive and expressive language problems of DS and other retarded individuals (Ashman, 1982b;Cornwell, 1974;Cunningham, 1981;Evans, 1977;Zisk & Bialer, 1967).…”

Short‐term memory difficulties and Down's syndrome

Nonretarded (NR) individuals typically show better short-term memory for brief sequences of auditory than visual information (the modality effect). The present study attempted to determine whether the failure of Down's syndrome (DS) individuals to show the modality effect is due to the verbal-expressive demands of oral responding in memory tasks. DS, NR and MR (non-DS mentally retarded) subjects listened to or looked at increasingly long sequences of digits and attempted to recall them either orally or manually (through placement of items). Analyses suggested the following: (1) manual responding failed to enhance auditory recall in either DS or any other subjects; and (2) difficulty in recalling auditory stimuli was greatest for DS mentally retarded subjects. An additional assessment of DS, MR and NR subjects on a standardized auditory short-term memory test requiring a nonverbal pointing response replicated the above findings.
