Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Grammar
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Developmental psychology

Laurence B. Leonard mainly investigates Specific language impairment, Language disorder, Grammar, Morpheme and Developmental psychology. Her Specific language impairment study is related to the wider topic of Cognitive psychology. Her work deals with themes such as Pictorial stimuli, Prosody, Phonetics and Expressive language, which intersect with Language disorder.

Her studies in Grammar integrate themes in fields like Plural and Subject. Her Morpheme research includes elements of Control, Auditory perception and Inflection. As a part of the same scientific study, Laurence B. Leonard usually deals with the Developmental psychology, concentrating on Phonology and frequently concerns with Lexical item.

Her most cited work include:

  • Children with Specific Language Impairment (1894 citations)
  • Speed of Processing, Working Memory, and Language Impairment in Children (374 citations)
  • Speed of processing in children with specific language impairment. (368 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Laurence B. Leonard mostly deals with Specific language impairment, Language acquisition, Developmental psychology, Morpheme and Cognitive psychology. The various areas that Laurence B. Leonard examines in her Specific language impairment study include Mean length of utterance, Verb, Language disorder, Agreement and Grammar. Her research in Language acquisition tackles topics such as Developmental linguistics which are related to areas like Second-language acquisition and Language transfer.

Laurence B. Leonard focuses mostly in the field of Developmental psychology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Phonology and, in certain cases, Consonant. Laurence B. Leonard combines subjects such as Vocabulary, Plural, Past tense and Inflection with her study of Morpheme. In her work, Semantics is strongly intertwined with Comprehension, which is a subfield of Cognitive psychology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Specific language impairment (53.33%)
  • Language acquisition (28.15%)
  • Developmental psychology (25.19%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Specific language impairment (53.33%)
  • Cognitive psychology (21.48%)
  • Morpheme (23.70%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Specific language impairment, Cognitive psychology, Morpheme, Language acquisition and Agreement. Specific language impairment is a subfield of Developmental psychology that Laurence B. Leonard explores. Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Visual perception, Event-related potential and Word learning.

She has researched Morpheme in several fields, including Mean length of utterance, Vocabulary, Phonology and Comprehension. The study incorporates disciplines such as Indo-European languages, Germanic languages, Task analysis and Priming in addition to Language acquisition. Her research on Agreement also deals with topics like

  • Productivity together with Speech perception,
  • Subject which is related to area like Lexical verb.

Between 2011 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Specific Language Impairment Across Languages. (87 citations)
  • Real-Word and Nonword Repetition in Italian-Speaking Children With Specific Language Impairment: A Study of Diagnostic Accuracy (61 citations)
  • Early Language Milestones and Specific Language Impairment (40 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Artificial intelligence
  • Grammar
  • Language acquisition

Laurence B. Leonard focuses on Specific language impairment, Language development, Cognitive psychology, Developmental psychology and Morpheme. The Specific language impairment study combines topics in areas such as Sentence, Language acquisition, Phonetics and Grammar. Her Language development research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Girl, Period and Infinitive, Verb.

Her study looks at the relationship between Cognitive psychology and topics such as Comprehension, which overlap with Input hypothesis, Analytic language and Posterior parietal cortex. When carried out as part of a general Developmental psychology research project, her work on Early language is frequently linked to work in Likelihood ratios in diagnostic testing, Milestone and Developmental disorder, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study. Her Morpheme research includes themes of German, Germanic languages, First language, Indo-European languages and Past tense.
