Document Summary
Iq achievement discrepancy: discrepancy between intellectual ability and specific achievement level. Below average achievement: performing below expected grade level in at least one academic area. Phonological awareness (on test): necessary for basic reading skills and expressive language development; develops around age 7. Pragmatics: use of language in a social context; being able to understand the context so you can use language appropriately. Language functions are housed primarily in the left temporal lobe. Recurrent middle ear infections in one s first year of life may be related to language impairments. Language development is a predictor of school performance and overall intelligence. Specific problems in reading, math, or writing ability. Score higher on iq tests than academic achievement tests. Read page 256 in the textbook about specific learning disorders. Specific learning disorder impairment in reading: most common underlying feature is inability to distinguish or separate sounds in spoken words. Transpositions (was -> saw , scared -> sacred)
