In relation to
How do Articulation Tests work?
Predetermined set of words;
Sample all sounds in all positions
One word per sound
Are articulations tests common in speech-language pathology?
Yes

Uses
- Words in child’s language; - Sounds used by child - Several words per sound;
Are language samples common in research?
Yes
Can language samples provide broad analyses?
Yes
Are language samples time consuming?
Yes
What is Whole Word Analysis?
Looks at the Phonological Mean Length of Utterance (pMLU) - both possible and actual to gain a Proximity score
What does pMLU stand for?
Phonological Mean Length of Utterance
How do you score the actual Phonological Mean Length of Utterance for a word (as produced by a speaker)?
1 point for each consonant & vowel
1 additional point for each correct consonant
How do you calculate the Proximity Score?
Speaker’s PMLU divided by the Target PMLU (Possible PLMU)
What is the target PMLU and the child’s PMLU for the following?
knife
/nɑ͞ɪ/
Target = 5
Child = 3
What is the target PMLU and the child’s PMLU for the following?
window
/wɪdo͞ʊ/
Target = 8
Child = 6
