Is there a difference in learning between moving and showing?
What is it about?
This research controlled intervention modalities to examine the combinations of visual and verbal versus movement and verbal. Intervention was provided for grammar targets in children who demonstrated expressive language delays with specific grammar difficulties. Individual child characteristics, such as severity of delay or overall impulsivity, seemed to moderate child response to the different modalities.
Why is it important?
Existing research indicates that modality-specific interventions are less effective than combined modalities. Most SLPs are familiar with a variety of different techniques, but little research has specifically examined the effectiveness of different combinations. Knowing which kind of techniques work most effectively and efficiently for the characteristics of specific children can help clinicians individually target their treatment.
