Abstract

This preliminary study investigated performance on a Korean language nonword repetition task (NRT) with school children in Korea. Results across different syllable lengths were examined for developmental changes. Forty-two typically developing Korean children from 7;0 through 10;7 years of age in first, second, and fourth grades participated. The first grade group did not perform as well as the others and showed diverse errors at syllable and phoneme levels. There was no significant performance difference between second and four graders even though the number of errors decreased as the grade increased. Results from this preliminary study support a large scale investigation with children in second grade and younger.
