چکیده:
Objectives: The lexical-level deficits are one of the hallmark limitations observed in early
school-age children with specific language impairment. These problems are the predictors of
reading problems and poor performance at school. Most studies in Persian-speaker children
with specific language impairment have focused on syntax and morphology and the naming
errors profile of these children are overlooked. This study aimed to investigate the naming
accuracy, latency, and the error profile of these children.
Methods: This was an observational study. Twenty children with specific language impairment
were selected according to the clinical judgment of two speech therapists from speech
therapy clinics and 100 children with typical language development aged from 7 to 9 years
were randomly selected from public schools. The Persian picture naming set was presented
by DMDX for the examination of picture naming skills. Naming errors were categorized
as semantic, formal, mixed, non-word, unrelated, and others errors. Then, the data were
investigated in terms of descriptive statistics and analysis of differences by the Independent t
test and Mann-Whitney U test.
Results: The Persian-speaker children with specific language impairment name significantly
slower and less accurate than the children compared to children with normal language
development (P≤0.05). Although semantic errors were the most frequent errors in the two
groups, the score differences of formal and omission errors were significant between the
groups (P≤0.05).
Discussion: The different naming accuracy and latency scores between the two groups may
be due to language delay and the inefficiency of the semantic system in children with specific
language impairment. There are a variety of word retrieval errors in Persian-speaker children.
Although, there are differences between the two groups, the error type in picture naming
cannot be used for differentiating between them.

com 289 September 2018, Volume 16, Number 3 Highlights I ranian Rehabilitation Journal ● The naming skill in children with specific language disorder (SLI) is slower and less accurate than children with normal language development.
● Picture naming is a useful test for determining the word retrieval skills in children with and without language disorder.
The present study aimed to examine the naming ac- curacy and latency as well as errors with reference to the specific psycholinguistic models of lexical/word pro- cessing, also to determine whether error types differenti- ate children with SLI from peers with TLD.
