Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to compare lexical development between Spanish children with Down syndrome (DS) and typically developing (TD) children, focusing on cognitive and vocabulary relationships.
- 186 children with DS and 186 with TD were assessed using a Spanish adaptation of the MacArthur-Bates CDI, with no significant differences in oral language production found.
- Children with DS showed better lexical comprehension and gestural production, indicating these are strengths, while oral production did not support a clear separation between cognitive ability and vocabulary development.
