Q

TWO-WAY SCORING

A

A perceptual system in which speech sound productions are dichotomized into two classes representing typical versus atypical behavior (e.g., correct vs. incorrect, right vs. wrong, etc.).

Q

FIVE-WAY SCORING

A

A perceptual system in which speech sounds are classified as typical versus one of four error types: an addition, a deletion (or omission), a subsitution, or a distortion.

Q

PHONETIC TRANSCRIPTION

A

A visual representation of speech sounds, typically accomplished with the symbols of the International Phonetic Association (IPA). The main symbols represent individual phonemes or allophones, and transcriptions also may include marks for sound modifications, stress level, and other aspects of speech. Broad transcription pertains mainy to phonemes of a language, whereas narrow transcription includes finer variations including allophonic modifications.

Q

BROAD TRANSCRIPTION

A

Phonetic transcription that uses phonemes exclusively and does not indicate finer variations such as those marked by diacritics in a narrow transcription.

Q

NARROW (CLOSE) TRANSCRIPTION

A

Includes symbols to represent both the speech sounds produced and symbols that describe slight variations in the production of those sounds.

Q

A clinician asks a child to say some words, each of which contains one r sound (e.g., rug, rabbit, car). After each word, the clinician records whether the child said the r sound correctly.

What is the linguistic complexity? System complexity? Response complexity?

A

Linguistic Complexity: word

System Complexity: two-way scoring

Response Complexity: single sound

Q

A clinician is interested in knowing whether an adult client is saying s and sh correctly at work. The client obtains a 10-minute recording of her speech at the office. The clinician scores all accurring s and sh sound as correct or incorrect.

What is the linguistic complexity? System complexity? Response complexity?

A

Linguistic Complexity: continuous speech

System Complexity: two-way scoring

Response Complexity: multiple sounds

17
Q

As part of his management program, a boy reads 20 sentences, each of which is composed of several words containing one or more l sounds. After each sentence, the clinician scores each l sound as correct, distorted, substituted for, added to, or deleted.

What is the linguistic complexity? System complexity? Response complexity?

A

Linguistic Complexity: sentences

System Complexity: five-way scoring

Response Complexity: single sound

18
Q

An audio recording is made of a 5-year-old girl with extremely delayed speech who is talking about her favorite television program. The clinician later transcribes the entire speech.

What is the linguistic complexity? System complexity? Response complexity?

A

Linguistic Complexity: continuous speech

System Complexity: phonetic transcription

Response Complexity: multiple sounds

19
Q

A speech-language pathologists administers a word-level articulation test with multiple targets per word (e.g., television, umbrella, scissors). Each target sound is scored as correct, distorted, subsituted for, added to, or deleted.

What is the linguistic complexity? System complexity? Response complexity?

A

Linguistic Complexity: word

System Complexity: five-way scoring

Response Complexity: multiple sounds

20
Q

d. distortion

A

d. distortion

b. Sounds produced in sentences
c. Sounds produced by themselves
d. Sounds produced in words

A

a. Sounds produced in continuous speech

22
Q

Asking someone to judge if a sound was produced correctly or incorrectly would be an example of?

a. Five-way scoring
b. Being too judgmental
c. Two-way scoring
d. Phonetic transcription

A

c. Two-way scoring

23
Q

Which of the following is an example of an addition error?

c. Saying nothing in response to the question
d. Saying “bwue” instead of “blue”

A

b. Saying “buhlue” instead of “blue”

24

26
Q

Five-way scoring includes two different types of errors.

a. True
b. False

A

a. True
b. False
