ABSTRACT

Objective To understand the inhibitory control in children with functional articulation disorder (FAD).Methods 30 children who met the criteria of FAD aged of 4-6 years were selected as the case group,and 30 normal speaking children matched in age were selected as the control group.The inhibitory control function were examined by handgame and day-night stroop task.The data were described as median (P25,P75) and the differences were compared between the two groups by rank test.Results The scores of handgame (4(3,5)) and day-night stroop task(13(11,16)) in case group were much inferior to those in control group (5 (4,5),15 (14,15)) (P＜0.05).Conclusion The inhibitory control of children with functional articulation disorder was much inferior to normal children.
