Do Pictures Affect Children's Production of Grammatical Sentences?

Pictures have been used in the field of speech-language pathology to evaluate children's language skills in real-life situations. This project aims to examine whether children's production of grammatical sentences will be affected by pictures that are used in the evaluation process. The outcome of the project will help clinicians determine whether they are able to choose pictures on their own when evaluating children's sentence skills.
