“…Sentence comprehension and cognitive abilities have been shown to be poor in children sustaining structural brain lesion in the neonatal period [29,30], and disabilities in language comprehension were also prominent in the present preterm group relative to the control group. Although extremely low birth weight children without damage to the periventricular region of the brain have been shown to be indistinguishable from their agematched peers [29], no comparison of this kind could be made here because of the high proportion of children with structural changes in neonatal brain MRI.…”

Even though intellectual disabilities could be the primary or only cause of deficient language comprehension, we suggest that this was not the case in our series.…”

The language development of 17 very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm children was compared with that of matched controls at the ages of 2 and 4 years. At the age of 2 years, the VLBW preterm children achieved significantly lower scores in the language comprehension test than their matched controls. In addition, they used shorter and more immature sentences. At the age of 4 years, difficulties in the VLBW preterm children manifested as deficiencies in language comprehension, naming and auditory discrimination. The language test results at the age of 2 years significantly correlated with those at the age of 4 years, but mainly in the preterm group. The highest and most frequent correlations were found between the language test scores at 2 years and the auditory discrimination test scores at 4 years. The only significant correlation to be found in the control group was between the vocabulary test score at 2 years and the consonant discrimination test score at 4 years. Therefore, language development of the VLBW preterm children should be measured and monitored from toddler age onwards. Special attention should be paid to measurements of auditory processing. While the results of the present study, however, represent mainly the outcome in a group of VLBW preterm children with changes in the neonatal MRI, the results should not be generalized to all VLBW preterm children.

“…This phenomenon might be explained by the relationship between ‘the moment/age of acquisition’ [14] and ‘consolidation process of lexical-semantic knowledge’ in the vocabulary learning. Regarding the moment of acquisition, loss of newly acquired function was reported in populations with traumatic brain injury [15] and children with brain damage [10]. Also, in bilingualism [16], the first acquired language would be less affected by brain damage whereas the second language would be affected.…”

“…In vocabulary acquisition, NC may learn some words earlier than others. Brain damage may affect newly acquired information first [10]. Based on these observations, we hypothesized that demented elderly may maintain vocabulary acquired earlier in life better than vocabulary acquired later in life.…”

Is Confrontation Naming Performance in Alzheimer’s Disease the Nominal Linguistic Retrogenesis of Normal Development?

et al. 2011

We investigated confrontation naming performance of patients with Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and normal children (NC) to see if the nature of naming performance of AD patients is the reversal of that in normal development. Sixty items of the Boston Naming Test were given to 78 AD patients (and 40 age- and education-matched normal elderly) and 1,080 NC (3- to 14-year-olds). The analyses revealed that, firstly, the naming abilities of the AD patients demonstrated an inverse relationship with those of the NC. Secondly, from the clinical point of view, AD patients tended to lose vocabulary acquired later first while maintaining those acquired in earlier stages of development. Based on the findings, we claimed that this phenomenon was ‘a nominal retrogenesis’ in which ‘retrogenesis’ is ‘the process by which degenerative mechanisms reverse the order of acquisition in normal development’ as defined by Reisberg and colleagues.

“…In preschoolers, language delays are common. By school age, however, vocabulary and receptive language are not as compromised as are non-verbal skills (e.g., Frisk & Whyte, 1994;Ment, Vohr, Allan, & Peterson, 2003;Taylor, Burant, & Holding, 2002), although some investigators have noted deficiencies on more complex verbal tasks, such as syntax. Not surprisingly, these cognitive skill deficits contribute to the routinely observed academic difficulties in children born preterm (e.g., Taylor, Hack, Klein, & Schatschneider, 1995).…”
