The Relationship Between Word Learning and Executive Function in Preschoolers With and Without Developmental Language Disorder.

Conclusion Findings replicate previous research reporting deficits in word learning and executive function in children with DLD, indicate that preschoolers are disadvantaged in learning new words for familiar objects, and support a relationship between executive function and word learning for children with and without DLD. Future research should examine the directionality of the relationship between these variables. PMID: 32546080 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
