Language Disorders in Psycholinguistics

Language disorders are communication disorders involving difficulties in understanding and processing spoken language, typically diagnosed in children aged 3 to 5. The main types include expressive language disorder, receptive language disorder, and mixed receptive-expressive language issues, each presenting distinct symptoms. Causes may include brain disorders, injuries, birth defects, and family history, with treatment provided by speech-language pathologists and parental support being crucial for development.
