Nasals are formed by complete closure of the VT in different locations in the oral cavity. The air is built up behind this closure and released. T or F?
False; Stops (pg. 140)
When air is released, it may produce a short burst of noise called _______. This is why stops are sometimes called “stop plosives”.

This theory views verbal development as learned, using the processes of contingent reinforcement and stimulus-response.
Behavioral Theory (pg. 143)
This theory states that the development of speech sounds is shaped from infants’ babbling by mature speakers in their environment. (i.e. vocalizations of caretakers reinforce infants own vocalizations.)
Behavioral Theory (pg. 143)
What are some strengths of the behavioral theory?
- compatible w/ learning theories
- associates babbling w/ development of meaningful speech
- acknowledges role of input and speech perception
(pg. 143)
What are some weaknesses of the behavioral theory?
- lack of data to support role of caretakers’ use of selective reinforcement of speech sounds
- child’s role is passive
(pg. 144)
How can the behavioral theory be clinically applied?
- the use of reinforcement for correct speech production
- control of stimuli to elicit productions during therapy
(pg. 144)
This theory, attributed to Jakobson and colleagues, defined a small set of features/properties to describe speech sounds. The features represent acostic and artic. aspects of speech sounds.
The Distinctive Features Theory (pg. 144)
Features in the disctintive features theory were described as binary; feature was either present (+) or absent (-). T or F?
True (pg. 144)
What are some strengths of the distinctive features theory?

2. most children do acquire certain classes of sounds (pg. 144)
What are some weaknesses of the distinvtive features theory?
- universal order of development has not been proven
2. most children do not acquire certain classes of sounds (pg. 144)
How can distintive features theory be clinically applied?
- analysis of speech sound substitutions according to absent/present features.
- therapy can be directed at training distinctive features
- therapy can be directed in helping kids establish phonemic contrasts (pg. 144)
This theory is an expansion of the distinctive features theory and includes concepts like “underlying representations”, “surface forms”, and “phonological rule;” similar to generative grammar theory.

phonological rules (pg. 144)
_________ : sounds that relative easy to produce and occur frequently arround the world :: ________ : sounds that are relatively more difficult to produce and occur less frequently in languages around the world.
natural sounds : marked sounds
pg. 144
Generative phonology theory focuses on describing ________ that occur in language and identifying universal principles that apply to the phono systems of languages.

2. attempts to account for differences in what children know about phono system and production ability (pg. 144)
What are some weaknesses of the generative phonology theory?
- complex notation system
2. “phonological rules” has been questioned due to abstract nature (pg. 144)
This theory attempts to explain children’s phonological acquistion and states that children are born w/ a set of “natural phonological processes” that reflect their developing speech motory systems.
Natural Phonology (pg. 145)
What are the three broad categories of natural processes?
- sylabble structure processes
- substitution processes
- assimilatory processes
(pg. 145)
In this natural process, speech sounds are elimiated from clusters, unstressed syllables are eliminated, or final consonants are deleted.
syllable structure processes (pg. 145)
In this natural process, stops are subbed for fricatives, stops are subbed for affricates or alveolar stops are subbed for velar stops.
substition processes (pg. 145)
In this natural process, labial or nasal assimilation may occur (pip for lip; nine for dime)
assimilatory processes (pg. 145)
What are some strengths of the natural phonology theory?
- accounts for individual variations in acquiring phono system
- good descriptors of speech sound error patterns
- adapts to account for delays and disorders (pg. 145)
What are some weakness of the natural phonology theory?
- no evidence for mental operations that govern use and limitation of phono processes
- no evidence that underlying representations are adult like
- childs role is passive (pg. 145)
How can the natural phonology theory be clinically applied?
- analysis of child’s speech sound errors using 3 categories of processes
- therapy emphasizes suppression of inappropriate processes
- therapy emphasizes use of meaningful communication to assist suppression of inappropriate processes (pg. 145)
This theory emphasizes the perception of whole words as easly word productions.
Prosodic Theory (pg. 145)
What are some strengths of the prosodic theory?
- includes perception and input
- accounts for individual learning due to varying input

2. doesnt consider development of individual speech sounds/patterns (pg. 146)
The prosodic theory has a clinical application. T or F?
False; it does not. (pg. 146)
This theory emphasizes the child’s individual active learning processes as important for phonological development, primarily the early phases of acquisition. The child discovers structure of lang. by forming and testing hypotheses of lang. system.
Interactionist-Discovery Theory (pg. 146)
What are some strengths of the interactionist-discovery theory?
- children are viewed as active learners that generate own learning strategies
- accounts for individual variation in phono dev.
- both perceptual and productive strategies (pg. 146)
What are some weaknesses of the interactionist-discovery theory?
The emphasis is on early stages of development (pg. 146)
How can the interactionist-discovery theory by clinically applied?
It is useful for generating intervention plans fod kids in the early stages of dev. (pg. 146)
This theory emphasizes the hierarchical relationships that exist across production units, including speech segments, syllables and words. (multiple)
Nonlinear Theories (pg. 146)
