Resumo: Purposes: to evaluate spontaneous language development through the Mean Length of Utterance in words (MLU-w) of children with gestational age between 28 and 36 weeks. This research also aims to study if the gestational age, birth weight, gender, and parents’ level of formal education can influence that measurement. Methods: nineteen premature children (9 males, 10 females), in the age range 4-5 years old, enrolled on Lisbon area kindergartens, and considered as having typical development, participated in this research. Spontaneous speech of each child was recorded for 30 minutes and transcribed afterwards. Results: mean values of MLU-w of Portuguese premature children were significantly lower than those with typical development. A positive and significant correlation between the gestational age and the birth weight with the MLU-w was also found. The gender of the children and the parents’ level of formal education showed no influence on the results. Conclusion: these results reinforce the need to identify, on these children, possible deficits, in order to prevent negative impacts in school education, and stimulate their psychosocial development.

Pretende-se também verificar se o número de semanas de gestação, o peso à nascença, o gênero e ainda a escolaridade dos pais influenciam essa medida. Métodos: participaram 19 crianças prematuras (9 meninos e 10 meninas), de 4 e 5 anos de idade, matriculadas em jardins-de-infância da área de Lisboa, consideradas como tendo desenvolvimento típico. O discurso espontâneo de cada criança foi gravado durante 30 minutos e posteriormente transcrito. Resultados: os valores encontrados nas crianças nascidas pré-termo eram significativamente inferiores aos de referência para a população portuguesa com a mesma idade. Verificou-se ainda uma correlação positiva e significativa do tempo de gestação e do peso à nascença com a EME-p. Não foram encontrados efeitos decorrentes do gênero das crianças ou da escolaridade dos pais. Conclusão: estes resultados reforçam a necessidade de identificar possíveis défices de linguagem nesta população, de forma a potenciar o seu desenvolvimento psicossocial e acadêmico.Veritati - Repositório Institucional da Universidade Católica PortuguesaFélix, JulianaSantos, Maria EmíliaBenítez-Burraco, Antonio2021-08-09T16:09:33Z2017-12-012017-12-01T00:00:00Zinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10400.14/34503eng1982-021610.1590/1982-021620171968017info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-07-12T17:40:01Zoai:repositorio.ucp.pt:10400.14/34503Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T18:27:57.829647Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
