The Occurrence of Echolalia in Three Year Olds' Responses to Various Question Types

Santa Cruz County Office of Education Capitola, California

After listening to three stories (accompanied by visual stimulus), 13 normally developing three-year-olds were asked a series of "wh," "yes/no," and motoric questions presented in both the active and passive form. Responses were analyzed to determine if some question types elicited more echolalia than others. Of the 780 responses, only 29 (3.8%) were defined as echolalic. Results are discussed in terms of relationships with the development of question answering skills, pathological echolalia and other question type variables.
