Lecture 4 Flashcards
What are the two broad categories of assessment?
Independent and relational
Define relational assessment
> standardized, in relationship to an adult form> For older children with 100+ vocab> Child has to be old enough to have the intent to produce adult form
Define independent assessment
A primary analysis for emerging phonology (first 50 words stage - < 100 words) > Analyze productions without direct reference to adult targets> age 1-2 yrs (3-4 with delays)> Make an inventory of all consonants and vowels produced in spontaneous speech
What are 3 Characteristics of developmentaly delayed (emerging phonology) ?
a) small expressive vocab, b) reduced repertoire of consonants and c) syllable shapes & unintelligible.
What are 3 potential problems of the independent analysis
- Can’t run Artic/phono tests -Too young (no norms/can’t follow instructions)2. Can’t elicit Spontaneous speech (too shy ,very few words)3. Speech motor control? (cooperation is very difficult)
what is the difference b/w a phonetic and phonemic inventory?
- Phonetic inventory (list of all phones): all sounds, whether meaningful or not2. Phonemic inventory: list sounds that are used contrastively in a language. Test using minimal pairs.
What 5 things do you need to collect during independent analysis ?(VERY IMPORTANT LEARN SHIT OUT OF THIS SLIDE)
- Speech sounds Inventory (consonants & vowels)2. Syllable shapes Inventory (CV, VC, CVC, CCVC etc).3. Word length Inventory (1, 2, 3,4 > syllables).4. Syllable Stress Inventory (Sw:Carrot, SS: rainbow; wS: giraffe) 5. Sound production Constraint Inventory. (e.g. /p/ only in CV, /d/ only in syll final etc)
Are Trochaic (Strong-weak) words easier than iambic (wS, wSw, wSs).
Yes!!
True or false During independent analysis you only record intelligible words
FALSE> Write every word/sound the child says regardless of intelligibility
List examples of open syllable/word shapes and the ages at which each should be acquired.
> CV or VC (“pa”, “up”) by 12mo (1 yr)> C1V1C1V1 or V1CV2 (“Mama’ or “abby”) by 8-12 mo> C1V1C2V2 (“bunny”) by 12-18 months
List examples of closed syllable/word shapes and the ages at which each should be acquired.
> C1VC1 (“pop”) by 18-24 mo (2 yrs)> C1VC2 (“moon”) by 24-30 mo ** CLOSED shapes by 2 yrs
List examples of cluster syllable/word shapes and the ages at which each should be acquired.
CCV and CCVC (“play” and “train”) by 36 months (3 yrs) Prof Q: why transcribed as twain?
True or false. Medial /r/ is worse when it’s produced a stressed syll (giRAFFE)than in unstressed syllable (CArrot).
FALSE better in a stressed position (always put targets in stressed position!!!)
TRUE OR FALSE More errors are made in unstressed vs. stressed syllables
TRUE
are Word-initial fricatives/affricates better in monosyll or multisyll words
MonosyllabicE.g. /v/ in vase, vest (better) Vs vacuum cleaner or valentine
Can we use bisyllabic contexts for targets?
Bisyllabic: acceptable contexts for inventorying production but target MUST occur in the stressed syll. (E.g. CAndy)
Children omit the more _______ed consonant in a cluster. This reflects difficulty with producing the consonant ______ rather than a problem with the consonant itself.
MARKED (harder)Sequence
How can the context facilitate cluster production - give example. When do you use facilitating contexts for clusters ?
Because of feature sharing!E.g /s/ in /t/ context (stamp) is easier than sp context ex 2. ; [r] is facilitated by voiced alvelors/velars tr,dr,gr)> When testing don’t use facilitory contexts because it makes the s production easier (But in treatment you can!)
What is language impairment and what level of language does it impact? How could SLI be responsible for the omission of certain sounds
Language impairment refers to a child with Morphosyntactic deficits. > may relate to morpheme omissions rather than to omission of the sound per se! Omission of a final consonant in plural nouns (Keys) even if child has /s/ sound in other positions.
When teaching final consonants is it better to use harmonic or nonharmonic context
Non harmonic (different first and last consonant)> confirm why with prof
alveolar consonants easier with high _____ vowels. Velars easier with _____ vowels
Front, Back
In a phoneMic Inventory all sounds are __________ produced
Contrastively
