Short-term verbal memory in language development
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at short-term verbal memory in people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) and those with typical language skills, to better understand how memory affects language.

This study looks at how language skills change over time in adults ages 30–35, by comparing people with Developmental Language Disorder (a lifelong difficulty with language) to those with typical language skills. Participants must have been in an earlier University of Iowa study to join.
This study looks at how children with developmental language disorder understand and produce parts of speech, especially verb endings and grammar patterns. It may help researchers develop better ways to support communication in kids who struggle with language.
This study looks at how children with developmental language disorder learn new words from context. It aims to find better ways to support their language development.
This study uses MRI pictures to see how a language-focused treatment may change the brain in children with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD). It’s for children who have typical speech, social skills, and hearing, but specifically struggle with expressive grammar.
