Specific language impairment is not specific to language: The procedural deficit hypothesis
MT Ullman, EI Pierpont - Cortex, 2005 - Elsevier
Specific Language Impairment (SLI) has been explained by two broad classes of
hypotheses, which posit either a deficit specific to grammar, or a non-linguistic processing …
