Abstract
Oral language abilities in 20 boys with chronic behavior disorder (CBD) were investigated using 20 standardized language measures. As a group, boys with CBD performed significantly more poorly than the normative population, with 16 of the subjects scoring in the below-average range on at least four of the language measures. Compared to expected language levels based on IQ scores, 10 of the subjects presented inconsistent language skills. It appears that boys with CBD display a much higher prevalence of language disorders than the population at large. Overall, abstract language and concepts, as well as linguistically complex structures, were shown to be difficult for the boys with CBD.
