AB  - The present study investigated whether (a) a reduced duration of auditory sensory 
      memory is found in late talking children and (b) whether deficits of sensory 
      memory are linked to persistent difficulties in language acquisition. Former late 
      talkers and children without delayed language development were examined at the 
      age of 4 years and 7 months using mismatch negativity (MMN) with interstimulus 
      intervals (ISIs) of 500 ms and 2000 ms. Additionally, short-term memory, language 
      skills, and nonverbal intelligence were assessed. MMN mean amplitude was reduced 
      for the ISI of 2000 ms in former late talking children both with and without 
      persistent language deficits. In summary, our findings suggest that late talkers 
      are characterized by a reduced duration of auditory sensory memory. However, 
      deficits in auditory sensory memory are not sufficient for persistent language 
      difficulties and may be compensated for by some children.
