Rozwój języka dzieci z FASD warunkowany poziomem funkcji poznawczych

Abstract

The article presents relations between language development and cognitive functions in children with FASD. The authors characterise particular cognitive functions connected with perception, processing and storage of information as well as control and self-regulation of behaviour. They write about linguistic knowledge as closely coexisting with other cognitive functions. The authors also emphasise two things. First, the fact that the quality of cognitive, social and emotional functioning of a child depends equally on the harmonious development of perception, motor, language, mental and social skills, and second: the knowledge of the specificity of cognitive development, which is reflected in the language development, can be helpful in making a diagnosis and preparing a therapeutic program for children with FASD.
