Q

What is the assumption behind the Vertically Structured Treatment Program?

(2)

A

When you practice a small number of target sound for a long period, these skills are more likely to be generalized to new targets

Some clients do better focusing on a small number of targets

Yes
33
How is are instruction groups typically designed?
By grouping 3-4 clients of similar ages working on similar targets
34
How does group instruction differ from individual instruction?
Groups are structured so all clients benefit from both from the activities and group interactions
35
Can combining group and individualized instruction be beneficial?
Yes
36
What are the four intervention styles?
Drill Drill play Structured Play Play
37
What is Drill-based therapy? | 2
Clinician presents a stimulus or an antecedent event Client issues a response
38
What does the clinician control in Drill-based therapy?
Rate and presentation of stimuli
39
What is Drill-Play based therapy?
Contains the same components of Drill-based therapy but stimuli are included in a antecedent motivational event (like a game)
40
What is Structured Play? | 2
Training stimuli are presented as play activities Clinician moves from formal instruction to play-like activities
41
When is Structured Play particularly useful?
If the child becomes unresponsive to formal instruction
42
What is Play-based therapy? | 2
Child perceives the task as play Clinician arranges activities so that targets occur naturally within the activity.

What other techniques may be included in Play-Based Therapy? | 2
Modeling Self-Talk
44
What can we use to measure change?
Probe
45
What is the problem with issuing norm-referenced tests to measure change? (4)
Regression to the mean Only target a limited sample of child's speech Child might remember words from previous exposure Child might be hypersensitive to a particular word and not be able to produce it on test (but may in real life)
46
What is a probe? | 2
Several words containing the target sound that are not being practiced in therapy Usually informal measures
47
How often should we probe? | 2
Not every session Every 4-5 sessions, every month, etc.
48

Child's development/maturation (Natural History Effect) Placebo effect Hawthorn Effect Pygmalion Effect Regression to Mean
49
What are Extraneous Effects?
Events outside the clinician's treatment
50
How can a child's development/maturation cause improvement outside the treatment?
The child's muscle control, auditory discernment, etc. may have improved by itself meaning child can now make the sound (natural history effect)
51
How can the Placebo Effect cause improvement outside the treatment? What can be the danger in the Placebo Effect?
Any attention placed on a young child's speech can potential lead child to focus on their speech not matter the type of intervention Therapy has not been effective but everyone is happy that the child is receiving treatment
52
What is the Hawthorn Effect?
Placebo-type effect where client improves because they are convinced that treatment is working
53
What is the Pygmalion Effect? | 2
Client responds positively to interactions with the clinician putting in extra effort Clinician/teacher might treat clients differently based on status
54
What is Regression to Mean?
A second testing on the same measurement will create scores closer to the mean no matter if the original score was high or low
55
How can parents and teachers create extraneous effects?
By providing additional therapy, correcting articulation in interactions, etc.
56
How can clinicians control for extraneous effects? | 2
Single-subject design Use evidence-based practices
57
What is Single-Subject Design? | 3
Measuring change on several targets at the same time but only treating some of them Ideally, the treated and untreated targets would not share many features The expectation is that the untreated targets would not show the same improvement
58
What is another name for Single-Subject Design?
Multiple baselines within-subjects design
59
Is all change significant and important?
No
60
What is Generalization?
Applying what has been learned in therapy to to new linguistic contexts or nonclinical settings
61
Can generalization be taught?
No - only facilitated
62
What is another name for Generalization?
Transfer
63
What are two specific ways of facilitating Generalization?
Stimulus generalization Response generalization
64
What is Stimulus Generalization?
Learned response for one stimuli is evoked by novel, but similar, stimuli ("say kangaroo" replaced by picture of a kangaroo)
65
What is Response Generalization?
Taught responses carry over to new behaviors (client learns to say /s/ correctly with a model. client automatically can use model to produce /z/ though it has not been trained)
66
What are some other ways speech sounds can be generalized? | 6
Producing a speech sound... - In a new position - In a new context - In a more complex linguistical environment - In an untrained word - That is novel - In new situations
67
What are four specific TYPES of generalization?
Context generalization Across-Linguistic Unit generalization Across-Sound/Across-Feature generalization Across-Situation generalization
68
What is Context Generalization?
Speech sound can be transferred to new contexts (position, blend, etc.) without direct training (/s/ from "ask" -> "biscuit" -> "fist")
69
What is Across-Linguistic Unit Generalization?
Transferring correct sound productions to more complex environments (sounds -> syllables -> words -> phrases)
70
What is Across-Sound/Across-Feature? | 2
Transferring correct productions of target of sounds to new sounds Usually occurs within sound classes (/k/ -> /g/)
71
What is Across-Situation Generalization?
Transfer of behaviors taught in a clinician environment to other situations (home, school, etc.)
72
What is another name for What is Across-Situation Generalization?
Carryover
73
Can parents help with generalization?
Yes
74
To help with generalization, should we start with stimulable or non-stimulable sounds?
Stimulable
75
To help with generalization in clients with multiple errors, what should we treat first: stimulable or non-stimulable sounds?
Non-stimulable
76
To help with generalization, when should we start incorporating sounds at the word level?
As soon as possible
77
To help with generalization, should we treat sounds with similar features or dissimilar ones?

Are articulation errors susceptible to regression?
Yes
91
What are four factors that can affect Retention?
