Abstract
This investigation examined the extent to which culturally disadvantaged children are retarded in language development compared to other children. Subjects were 53 children between the ages of 48 months and 67 months, 40 of whom were considered culturally disadvantaged. All children were given the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, and 50 utterances were elicited from each child. As had been hypothesized, on virtually every test the culturally disadvantaged children scored significantly lower than did the other children.
