Q

Define the Behaviorist model.

A

stimulus-response paradigm. At one time it was believed that behaviorism was the basis for sound acquisition. Not any longer. As SLPs behaviorism is still in use. We give positive reinforcement for correct productions

Q

Describe Generative Phonology.

A

Developed by Chomsky; not typical seen in broad application to SLP

  1. phonological rules map underlying representations onto surface pronunciations
  2. phonological descriptions depend on info from other linguistic levels (semantic and syntax)

Q

Describe Nonlinear Phonology.

A

Attempts to account for the idea that speech production is more than just phonemes.
2 tiers: prosodic and segmental
Discusses how syllabes are broken down (onset, coda, rime)

Q

Describe Optimality Theory.

A

Relationship between limitations on speech productions (markedness constraints) and preserved features (faithfulness constraints). Still in use

Q

Describe Sonority Hypothesis.

A

Sonority is the loudness of a sound relative to other sounds in the same pitch, stress and length. Hypothesis says that children reduce initial consonant clusters to produce maximal sonority. They also, present a fall in sonority with final consonant clusters. Still in use.

Q

What is the Psycholinguistic Model?

A

provides potential explanation of children’s phonology. describes underlying representations in children’s speech and their production. Somewhere in between is the child’s stored lexicon or mental dictionary. Still in use.

Q

What are large group cross-sectional studies of typical speech sound acquisition?

What is a famous study?

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

A

Describes typical behavior by establishing norms through observation of large numbers of children. Famous study: Templin (1957) created age of acquisition info. Advantages: provide normative info for comparing children, studies can be replicated, systematic observation of behavior is used. Disadvantages: typically single word samples, imitated productions (not spontaneous), data collected in specific geographic areas that may have dialectical variants, experience & reliability of researchers not always reported.

Q

what is longitudinal studies of typical speech sound acquisition?

What are their advantages and disadvantages?

A

study of groups of children at repeated intervals.

  1. usually for specific purposes
  2. allows researchers to capture individual variations
  3. allow reporting of developmental trends
  4. disadvantages: small number of children, scheduled intervals, prepared stimulus

Q

What is phase 2 in the sequence of speech acquisition?

A

transitioning from words to speech. 1yr-2yr

24
Q

In phase 2 of sequence of speech acquisition, what consonants are in a child’s inventory? (6)

A

1) nasals
2) plosives
3) fricatives
4) approximates
5) labial
6) lingual phonemes

25
Q

In phase 2 of sequence of speech acquisition, what is the relationship between phonological knowledge and vocabulary

What are the three types of constraints?

A

it is close. Children tend to use sound familiar to them. They present inventory constraints, positional constraints, sequence constraints

26
Q

what is inventory constraints?

A

inventory of sounds that are produced by the child

27
Q

what is positional constraints?

A

sounds that are produced in different syllable positions

28
Q

what is sequence constraints?

A

restrictions on the co-occurrence of sounds.

29
Q

During what phase does the child typically develop the first 50 words?

A

phase 2

30
Q

What is the 3rd phase in the sequence of speech acquisition?

A

growth of inventory (2-5YR)

31
Q

What does Age of Acquisition of Speech Sounds mean?

A

age at which a certain percentage of children have acquired a speech sound

32
Q

At what age do most children effectively produce consonants in speech?

A

3-4 YR old, except liquids

Q

At what age do children typically acquire consonant clusters?

A

2Yr—->mastery at age 9

34
