Contribution of Memory Mechanisms and Socio-Emotional Functioning to the Production of Personal Narratives in Children With and Without Developmental Language Disorder

This increased understanding of linguistic and nonlinguistic skills contributing to personal narrative performance has the potential to influence assessment and intervention practices for children with DLD.
