Speech, language, and hearing assessment data were correlated with fourteen independent variables for fifty-six incoming adult prison inmates.
Abstract
Descriptive data supported the elevated prevalence of all categories of communicative disorders, with the exception of stuttering. Significant results were reported on correlational analysis of language processing subtests and the independent variables of I.Q., chronological age, years of education, and number of siblings. However, no significant correlations were found between these independent variables and the results of articulation, language production, voice, or hearing assessments. Theoretical, clinical, and future research implications are discussed. (Author abstract)
