Electrophysiological Evidence for Sentence Comprehension - Wings

only relatively good instrument for discriminating SLI children: while both groups make
errors, the kind of error is actually relevant. Numerical results in which both groups
would be ‘punished’ by low scores, but for different reasons, would be misleading.
Therefore, more descriptive scoring was adopted, which allowed for judging the kind of
error committed by SLI child and which put SLI child in relation to the TLD child, a
relation that could be lost if only raw numerical results were used.
