Chapter 5,6,7 Flashcards
What is infant’s speech perception?
Their ability to devot attention to the prosodic and phonetic regularities of speech (rhythm, combinations of specific sounds)
Prosodic = \_\_\_? Duration = \_\_\_? Intensity = \_\_\_?
Prosodic = frequency/pitch Duration = length Intensity = loudness
Define stress in terms of prosodic regularities
The prominence placed on certain syllables of multisyllabic words
Define intonation
Similar to stress; prominence placed on certain syllables in entire sentences/phrases
Prosodic characteristics
Frequency
Intensity
Duration
Phonetic regularities include?
Phonemes
Combinations of phonemes
Categorical perception
The ability that allows humans to categorize speech in ways that highlight differences in meaning and ignore variations that are nonessential or not meaningful in their language
Perceptual narrowing
The process by which infants start to focus more on perceptual differences that are relevant to them and focus less that are not relevant to them
Phonotactic regularities
The ability to recognize the combinations of phonemes in one’s language
Stage model
Following an observable and sequential pattern
Define reflexive focalization
(0-2 months) sounds of discomfort like crying and vegetable sounds
- Control of phonation
1-4 months cooing
- Expansion vocalizations
3-8 months
Isolate vowel sounds
Marginal babbling
Define marginal babbling
CV babbling with prolongs transitions between the consonant and vowel
- Basic canonical syllables age range
5-10 months
Advance form focalization age range
9-18 months
Paralinguistic features of infant directed speech
3
High pitch
Contoured pitch
Slow tempo
Syntactic characteristics of IDS
Shorter MLU
Fewer subordinate clauses
More content words
Less function words
What is the difference between imperative pointing and declarative pointing
Imperative pointing is used to request adults to retrieve something for them
Declarative pointing is used to call attention to an object and to comment on the object
3 phases of joint attention
Phase 1: attendance to social partners (birth to 6 month)
Phase 2: coordination of joint attention (6 mo - 1 year)
Phase 3: transition to language (1 yo +)
