Typical Speech & Auditory Development Flashcards

1
Q

what is speech perception

A

process by which the sounds of language are heard, interpreted, and understood. It describes the ability to perceive linguistic structure in the acoustic speech signal.

extended repetition of certain single syllables, such as “ma-ma-ma, da-da-da, ba-ba-ba” that begins at 6-7 months of age

61
Q

what is meant by Babbling is experience-expectant learning

A

All babies babble
All babies gesture
The sounds they make are similar no matter what language their parents speak

62
Q

O ver the next few months, babbling incorporates sounds from their native language.

A

true

63
Q

describe the phonological development

A

Infants, regardless of the parents’ language, are born with the ability to discriminate a universal set of phonetic contrasts

This ability declines as a function of specific linguistic experience (Eimas, 1978;Werker et al., 1981), and is not found in adults.
Experience listening to a language may be necessary to facilitate perception of some phonetic distinctions (Eilers, Gavin & Wilson, 1979)

64
Q

what are phonemes

A

The basic building blocks of language
The unique sounds that can be joined to create words
The sound of “p” in pin, pet, and pat
The sound of “b” in bed, bat, and bird

65
Q

Infants can distinguish many of these sounds, some of them as early as ___ month after birth

A

1

66
Q

Can discriminate sounds they have never heard before such as phonemes from a foreign language

Q

Once an infant’s vocabulary reaches about 50 words it suddenly begins to build rapidly, at a rate of _____ words per month, mostly ___.

This language spurt occurs around 18 months and is sometimes called the ______

A

50-100+
nouns
Naming explosion

72
Q

what is the naming explosion

A

Once an infant’s vocabulary reaches about 50 words it suddenly begins to build rapidly, at a rate of 50-100+ words per month, mostly nouns.
around 18 mos

A

2 ½

74
Q

words or endings of words that make sentences more grammatical

grammatical morphemes

75
Q

A 1 ½-year-old might say “kick ball” but a 3-year-old would be more likely to say “I am kicking the ball”

A

true

76
Q

The rate of children’s vocabulary development is influenced by the amount of talk they are exposed to

what does this mean

A

The more speech that is addressed to a toddler, the more rapidly the toddler will learn new words

77
Q

what is underextension

A

using a word too narrowly.
Using the word “cat” to refer only to the family cat
Using the word “ball” to refer only to a favorite toy ball

78
Q

what is overextension

A

Using a given word in a broader context than is appropriate
Common between 1 and 3 years of age
More common than Underextension
Toddlers will apply the new word to a group of similar experiences
“Open” – for opening a door, peeling fruit, or undoing shoelaces

79
Q

more common

A

overextension

80
Q

a sign of verbal sophistication because it shows children are applying the rules to grammar.

A

overregularization

81
Q

what is overregularization

A

Speech errors in which children treat irregular forms of words as if they were regular.
Applying rules to words that are exceptions to the rule
This leads young children to talk about “foots”, “tooths”, “sleeps”, “sheeps” and “mouses”
he goed
I catched it

82
Q

why do they overextend

A

because they have not acquired another suitable word or because they have difficulty remembering a more suitable word

83
Q

examples of overextension

A

Ball referring to ball, balloon, marble, egg, or apple
Moon referring to moon, half-moon shaped lemon slice, or half a Cheerio
Car referring to a car, bus, truck, or tractor
Daddy referring to dad or any man
Doggie referring to dog or any four-legged animal

84
Q

what is the apgar eval

A

All newborn infants receive multiple examinations shortly after birth to detect obvious abnormalities and to determine the need for immediate resuscitation.

In 1953, Dr. Virginia Apgar, an anesthesiologist, developed a tool for evaluating an infant’s condition in the delivery room. Evaluation is completed at 1 minute and again at 5 minutes following birth. Both evaluations are based on five standardized observations (heart rate, respiratory effort, reflex irritability, muscle tone, and color). A rating of 0 to 2 is assigned to each observation and the maximum Apgar score attainable is 10

85
Q

what is the gestational age

A

defined in weeks as the duration of pregnancy before birth. i.e., the period of time between conception and birth (age since conception).
It can be estimated from:
The mother’s last menstrual period.
Inaccurate and unreliable.
Physical and neuromuscular characteristics of the fetus.
Can be compared to birth weight to determine if the infant is small for gestational age (SGA), appropriate for gestational age (AGA), or large for gestational age (LGA).

86
Q

before birth

87
Q

postnatal

A

after birth

90
Q

fetal period

A

91
Q

what is chronological age

A

the age from the actual day the child was born

92
Q

what is corrected or adjusted age

A

The baby’s actual age in weeks minus the number of weeks the baby was preterm. i.e., it is based on the age the child would be if the pregnancy had actually gone to term; calculated as:
Corrected age (CA) = chronological age - # weeks or months premature

93
Q

how is corrected age calculated

A

Corrected age (CA) = chronological age - # weeks or months premature

94
Q

Baby J was born at 28 weeks gestation
He was 12 weeks premature (40 weeks - 28 weeks = 12 weeks = 3 months)
Today it is 6 months past the day he was actually born (6 months CH)
CA = 6 months - 3 months

CA = 6 months - 3 months
3 months

95
Q

born less than 37 weeks gestation

97
Q

post term

A

born after 42 weeks gestation

98
Q

99
Q

1 month to 1 year

A

infant

100
Q

would we do corrected age if baby was born at 37 weeks

A

no because they are considered mature

101
Q

what is the development of the ear

A

The ear begins to develop by the 3rd week of embryonic life
The external ear and middle ear are initiated by formation of the branchial arches during the 4th week and becomes recognizable by week 8.
The structures of the inner ear are mature at 20 to 26 weeks
The auditory nerve is hooked up by 24 to 26 weeks
Mechanical and neural properties mature simultaneously and synchronously, ready for function
Brain cell formation for the central auditory pathways is complete at birth but neural maturation continues for many more years after birth!

102
Q

When the developing fetus begins to “hear.”?

A

The auditory system becomes functional around 25 weeks’ gestation

Using pure tones presented through a microphone placed on the mother’s abdomen, fetal heart rate increase in response to the tones was recorded after the 20th week of gestation (Johansson et al., 1964).

103

118
Q

by 12 mos, what is the sensitivity that we are able to discri8minate intensity of a sound

A

3 dB

119
Q

what is temporal resolution

A

ability to hear changes in sound over time

120
Q

how do we use gap detection to tell differences in background speech

A

speech fluctuates and glimpses of silences (no speech energy) this is the gap and it picks this up to find difference bw speech and background noise to keep tracking imp messages that they use

121
Q

Adults can detect gaps as short as _____ ms in some conditions

A

3

122
Q

Infants up to 12-month-olds do not detect gaps shorter than about ____ ms

A

6

124
Q

by what age can children localize many sounds in the left-right dimension as well as adults

A

5 yrs

125
Q

do children need a higher snr than adults

A

yes

126
Q

what is meant by a higher snr

A

speech volume needs to be louder than the loud and the difference bw larger

127
Q

is 0 dB SNR easy for adults

A

NO very hard because speech and noise are the same volums

128
Q

why is it good to explain this? why do i need to fit a ha on a child with mild HL?

what difficulty will a child with HL experience?

A

they do well in quiet environments but we do not know how much information they are processing during
they need speech louder in a classroom and they need speech louder normally and with a HL it will affect his academic performance
