title: The effects of pause time on auditory comprehension of language-disordered children.
abstract: Language-disordered children were presented with two types of commands in a sentence comprehension task. One 3-sec pause was placed at the same syntactic boundary in one-half of the sentences in Set I and Set II. Results indicate that the subjects' performance improved as a function of the pause in Sentence Set II but not in Sentence Set I.
