QUIZ 1 Flashcards
communication
process of two or more people sharing info, including facts, thoughts, ideas and feelings (verbal and or nonverbal means)
convey info from one person to another
encoding, transmitting, decoding
speech
most widely used means of communication
expression of thoughts in spoken words (I.e. ORAL AND VERBAL COMMUNICATION/USE OF LANGUAGE)
speech components
articulation (motor production of speech sounds)
fluency (the flow of speech, rate and rhythm) ex) stuttering
voice (vocal quality, pitch, loudness, and resonance)
language
complex and dynamic system of conventional symbols that is used in various modes (ASL, speech, etc) for thought and communication
RULE GOVERNED
adds meaning to speech
5 components of lang: Form (phonology, morphology, syntax), Content (semantics), Use (pragmatics)
communication disorder
impairment in the ability to receive, (w sensory input/hearing issue) send and process and comprehend concepts(receptive issue) including verbal, nonverbal and graphic symbols systems
communication disorder components
speech
language
hearing
central auditory processing
speech disorder
used to indicate oral, verbal communication that is so deviant from the norm that it’s noticeable or interferes with communication (artic., fluency, voice)
language disorder
impaired comprehension and or use of spoken, written, and or other symbol systems
can include one or more issues of : phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics
hearing disorder
impaired auditory sensitivity leads to a hearing impairment (hard of hearing; deaf)
central auditory processing disorders
difficulties with information processing of auditory signals that are not the result of hearing impairment
articulation
motor production of speech
subcategory of speech
phones- the actual production (no meaning)
articulatory motor processes
phones
actual production
no meaning attached
need to combine together to combine meaning
phonology
- study of speech sounds and how they convey meaning within a language
- study of how phonemes are organized and function in a language
subcategory of language
phonemes- when combined with other units, distinguish meaning between words (change meaning of words –> pig vs. big)
understanding of sound systems within a language
phonemes
when combined with other units, distinguish meaning between words (change meaning of words –> pig vs. big)
phonotactics
allowed combinations of phonemes in a particular language
speech sound disorders
refers to any difficulty or combination of difficulties with perception, motor production, or phonological representation of speech sounds and speech segments including phonotactic rules
articulation disorder
atypical articulation- substitutions, omissions, additions and distortions that may interfere with intelligibility
can cause frustration
errors- may be typical (age appropriate) or atypical (non age appropriate) depending on the age
phonological disorder
impaired understanding of the phonological system of a particular language
if a child says swing, sing, ring and wing as WING- child cannot phonemic contrast to indicate differences between these words
are articulation and phonology mutually exclusive?
NO - can be intertwined and or separate issues
many children with SSD demonstrate both types of difficulties
a child may demonstrate problems with physically producing phones AND using phonemes contrastively to differentiate words
assessment: articulation/phonological disorder
- phonetic inventory - list of all phones produced (sounds actually produced, not the target production)
- phonemic inventory- list of phonemes the child used to differentiate meaning (substitutions ex) r–>w)
- phonotactic constraints- can they use target phonemes in all possible positions of the word
what characteristic of respiratory, phonatory, resonatory, and articulatory mechanisms MUST CHANGE CONSIDERABLY before regular articulatory activities begin
structure and function
newborn oral and pharyngeal cavity
used primarily for sucking and swallowing actions
the tongue fills the oral cavity completely leaving no space practically for the buccal area
the production of sounds under these conditions is severely restricted
