Linguistic performance in 2 years old preterm, considering chronological age and corrected age.

Introduction Preterm birth causes problems that are not restricted to perinatal mortality. Some premature, even in the absence of brain damage, have negative effects on various aspects of development, such as language difficulties. Objective This study aimed to verify the linguistic performance of preterm children at 2 years old, considering the chronological age and corrected age.

Performance of preschool children with normal language development in past tense task.

Purpose: To investigate the ability of past tense in children with normal language development (NLD).

Methods: The subjects were 30 children with NLD, aged between 4 and 6 years.
