The Mean Length of Response (MLR) (Templin, 1957), Developmental Sentence Score (DSS) (Lee, 1974), and individual DSS items were used to analyze language used by the three groups of children. The study involved thirty-nine children, thirteen children in each group, between the ages of six years, six months, and seven years, four months. All subjects were screened to determine grade, residency, Indian blood, speech, language, hearing, and physical status. Testing for hearing vocabulary was performed at the beginning of the testing situation to determine eligibility for the study. 1978-01-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/open_access_etds/2831 https://pdxscholar.library.pdx.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3836&context=open_access_etds Dissertations and Theses PDXScholar Children -- Language Language arts (Primary) Indian children -- North America Indigenous Studies Speech Pathology and Audiology
