In this course we will examine the role of central processes (memory, attention, executive function, and speech perception) in typical language acquisition and in atypical development (e.g., Specific Language Impairment, Autism, Williams Syndrome, Central Auditory Processing Disorders). The discussion will focus on various theoretical perspectives, the neurobiology of these central processes, and the empirical evidence of deficits in central processes for these children.
