SPHP 126 Exam 3 Flashcards
Research Methodology
- suck suck swallow pattern
- localization to sound
- habituation (baby laying in crib crying)
- visually reinforced head turns
- cessation of crying (mom says “hey baby”…baby stops crying)
Auditory Discrimination
- Newborns hear sounds in utero for 4 mons- since the 20th wk of gestation.
- 2 to 7 day old infants localize rattling noise
- 4 mons of age (can discriminate)
- Prefer human speech to other sounds
Speech Perception (2 to 4 mons of age)
- hear in categories
- attend to juncture (when sound is continuous)
- place of articulation (fricitives > velars; alveolars)
- manner of articulation
- can discriminate stress changes
- respond well to motherese
Speech Perception (5-12 mons of age)
- better disciminate /sa/ VS. /za/ at 6-8 mons
- can be taught to discriminate sounds up to 8 mons
- done less at 12 mons because of phonological bins
How often do we work with infants before 12 mons of age?
- Early intervention is key
- More cases of preemies with feeding, swallowing and hearing problems
Speech overlaid function
Focus on staying alive; not worrying about speech and language
What questions might help to understand a child’s auditory/sound perceptions?
- Does your child stop crying when you talk?
- Does you child turn head to loud sounds?
- When you stop talking, do they fill in the silence?
Infant sound productions
- short vocal tract
- short pharyngeal cavity
- anterior tongue placement
- high larynx
- close approx. of velopharynx touches epiglottis
Oller’s Stage 1: Phonation
- 0 to 1 mon
- Reflexive vocalizations (crying,fussing for attention or hunger)
- Coughing,sneezing,burping
- Syllabic naslas (limited resonance)
- Non distress sounds
- little vocal play
Oller’s Stage 2: Coo and Goo
- 2 to 3 mons
- Velar consonant-like sounds
- A sound similar to rounded vowel /u/
Oller’s Stage 3: Exploration/Expansion
- 4 to 6 mons
- Better control of laryngeal pharynx and articulators
- Improved oral resonance of vowels
- Squeals, growls, friction noises
- Vocal Play
- Begin to see CV and VC (Consonant Vowel)
Oller’s Stage 4: Canonical Babbling
- 7 to 9 mons
- Better oral and nasal resonation
- C1V1C1V1 and C1V1C1V2 (reduplication)
- Stops, nasals, glides
- Velar like sounds decrease (because they are starting to sit up)
- Bilabial and alveolar usage increases
Oller’s Stage 5: Variegated Babbling
- 10 to 12 mons
- Non reduplicated babbling
- Vowel and consonants increase
- Intonation pattern matures
- Connected strings resembles adult speech
- Vowels are beginning to stabilize
Important Predictors?
- No. of vocalizations was positively correlated to later normal lang. dev.
- Diversity of vocalizations was positively correlated to beginning of speech
Transition Period?
- Begins with comprehension
- Protowords: not true words, but have meaning
- Ends in true words
- Can co-exist with true words
Tranisition period issue?
- The words are the symbol of not the acquisition of vocab but the ability of the brain to program the articulation of the sound sequences.
- The physical readiness/dev. of the structures & their ability to handle the more complex programming
- linking of sounds patterns to physical agility, and the neural programming ability with meaning
Protowords/Vocables
- Mostly CV syllable shapes
- Expression of affect
- To make a request
- To focus attention
Protoword Characteristics?
- Stops> nasals> fricatives
- 50% are stops
- Labials>Alveolars>Velars
- 30 % are labials
- Holophrastic phrases begin
- Neurological & physical ability to string them together
First Real/True Word
- 10 to 14 mons
- Consistently used
- In a particular context
- Resembles the adult word
Sound system DVPMT
- 18 to 24 mons: 50 words; short phrases
- Phonetic productions increase stability
- Protowords & holophrastic phrases decrease as phrases increase
Single Phoneme DVPMT
-Cross Sectional research studies
-Cross section of children in U.S.
(age,culture,socioeconomic level, parents ed. level, IQ)
-Exclude Ch with known hearing loss and lang. loss.
Cross-Section Studies
- Group data
- Average data
- Error types not determined
- “Age of mastery”
- “Molly VS. Deborah”; first born,well-educated parents, talkative
- Molly= labials
- Deborah=Fricatives
Templin (1957)
- 75% of Ch, correct in all 3 positions (initial, medial, final)
- 480 Ch.
- 3 to 8 yrs old
Fudala & Reynolds (1986)
- 5,122 Ch from 4 western states
- 1:6 yrs to 13:11 yrs
- Intial & medial/final?
Sander (1972)
Range of Development
Longitudinal Studies
- Few number of Ch. individually
- Over a considerable amount of time
- Mostly agree with Cross-Section studies
Articulation DVPMT
- Consonants
- Vowels
- Consonant Clusters
Consonants
- Templin is the standard
- Sanders gives a good range
