title: An examination of the psychological and behavioural factors in the development of language retardation in twins.
abstract: Using therapeutic intervention, the psychological and behavioural factors in the development of language retardation in two pairs of 4-year-old MZ twins have been examined. Although some factors are common to those found in singletons with language retardation, the factors peculiar to the twin situation are highlighted.
