Language Disorders Flashcards
What is a neurobiology in regards to threats to language acquisition?
- Brain structure and function abnormalities
What is etiology in regards to the threats to language acquisition?
premature birth
neurological disease
defective genes
abnormal communicative environment
early hearing problems
What are cycle linguistic processes in regards to threats to language acquisition?
fundamental problems in perception
fundamental problems in memory
fundamental problems in abstracting grammatical rules
What are the four phases to Locke’s model?
I- vocal learning
II- utterance acquisition
III- Analysis and computation
IV- integration and elaboration
What are the age ranges for each of Locke’s four phases?
phase 1 – vocal learning = prenatal to 5 to 7 months of age
phase 2 – utterance acquisition = 5 to 7 months through 20 to 37 months of age
phase 3 – analysis and computation = 20 to 37 months through three years of age
phase 4 – integration and elaboration = 3+ years through lifetime
What happens during a phase 1 – vocal learning of Locke’s model?
Orients to rhythm and prosody
Imitates/mimics prosody
Gets by in language
Turn taking
Sound play
What happens in phase 2 – utterance acquisition of the Locke’s model?
Collects utterances/”chunks”
Disorganized interns of the sound in semantic system
Stores/uses holophrases that have loose attachment to meaning
No grammar
Lexical spurt at 18 months
What happens in phase 3 – analysis and computation of Locke’s model?
Organized
Analyzes and recognizes patterns
Begins to produce those patterns
Grammar – syntax and morphology
What happens in phase 4 – immigration and elaboration in Locke’s model?
Vocabulary increases
Group information in categories
Learn concepts more easily
Integrate new linguistic information more easily
Elaborate at richer linguistic levels
What systems of language development during phase 1 – vocal learning of Locke’s model?
Pragmatics
Prosody
Phonology
What systems of language develop during phase 2 – utterance acquisition of Locke’s models?
Pragmatics
Prosody
Phonology
Semantics
What’s the symptoms of language developed during phase 3 – analysis and computation of Locke’s model?
Pragmatics Phonology Prosody Morphology Syntax Semantics
What’s systems of language developed during phase 4 – integration and elaboration of Locke’s model?
Phonology Morphology Semantics Syntax Pragmatic Prosody
What are the three threats to language acquisition?
neurobiology
etiology
psycholinguistic processes
What is form?
Syntax, morphology & phonology
What is content?
Semantics
What is function/use
Pragmatics
What are some SLI strategies?
naming letters and objects
recalling spoken sentences
using melody as a memory aid
listening to and repeating stories (storyboard) and nursery rhymes
acting out pictures and rhymes
using gestures to aid in recall
repeating novel and nonsense words
verbal rehearsal
categorization games with words and objects
What is impacted with LD?
motor
attention
perception
symbol
memory
emotion
What are some primary assessments for language?
woodcock Johnson III
CELF-4 (clinic evaluation of language fundamentals)
CASL (clinics assessment of spoken language)
What are some secondary language assessments?
Receptive one-word picture vocabulary
Expressive one-word picture vocabulary
Peabody picture vocabulary test
CTOPP- comprehensive test of phonological processing
TOPL-2- test of pragmatic language
TAPS- test of auditory processing skills
What are the steps for treating phonological awareness deficits?
rhyming
word segmentation/word
blending (count words in sentences)
syllable & sound segmentation/
sound blending (first/last/middle sound)
What are grammatical morphemes and who has issues with it?
SLI
FANBOYS (for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so)
They have issues with pat tense -Ed, him/his, her/she
What are the characteristics of LLD?
Memory Attention Perception Symbol Motor Emotions
