- Abstract
- We propose here the French standardization of an European oral language battery (ELOLA) for the study of children with acquired brain lesions. The verbal tasks proposed to 200 control children aged 4 to 12 were: verbal fluency, repetition of words and nonwords, naming test (9 semantic categories and naming of actions), semantic, and syntactic comprehension. One half of the children came from a low socio-cultural class and the other half from a higher social-cultural class. Performance increased with age; nonword repetition was better for girls than for boys and children with low socio-cultural level performed worse than the other children in 3 out of 7 tasks. We stressed the inferior limit scores for each task, defining the pathological from the normal language at each age group. The ELOLA battery, proposed for aphasic children, can also be appropriate for oral language evaluation in other clinical situations in children.
