Study These Flashcards
A

24
Q

Register

Study These Flashcards
A

-speaking in the appropriate way for different situations with different people.

25
different levels of meaning in language:
- Lexical meaning - referential meaning - propositional meaning - affective - interactive or social meaning - linguistic/discourse meaning
26
referential meaning
involves the meaning of words and what they refer to.
27
propositional meaning-
the who, what, when, why of an utterance.
28
Standard Deviation
-average difference of scores from the mean score on a standardized test 68% of the scores fall within 1 SD of the mean, with 96% of the scores falling within 2 SDs.
29
Normal Curve
A normal distribution represents the tendency for scores to fall around the mean (central tendency)
30
Percentile Rank
percentage of subjects in the norming population who scored at or below a certain raw score
31
3 Kinds of Standard scores
1. Z-score 2. T-score 3. Scaled score
32
Children with Limited Language
* A child who is largely nonverbal * A child who speaks largely at the single-word level * A child who is using early multiword combinations
33
Developmental Language Disorders
Child’s diagnostic category does not explain or predict language behavior language behavior.
34
Speech Sound Disorders
* Articulation disorder – sensorimotor based * Phonological disorder – linguistically/system based * Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) – sensorimotor based
35
Components of the Final Motor Act of Articulating
Biological component Cognitive-linguistic component Sensorimotor-acoustic
36
What does Biological component include?
- Vocal tract and articulators - Nervous system > motor and sensory functions - Auditory, tactile, kinesthetic, proprioceptive
37
What is the Cognitive-linguistic component?
Semantics, morphosyntax, pragmatics | -Phonemic elements, phonological rules
38
What does Sensorimotor-acoustic include?
- Motor programming and motor learning of the sequences of physical movement in a wide variety of phonetic contexts - Motor production in the vocal tract > acoustic vibrations > ears of the listener/interpretation
39
Misarticulation Categories
* Substitution * Omissions * Distortions * Addition
40
Independent analysis describes the child’s productions in....
features, segments, syllable shape
41
Relational analysis transcribes the child’s productions and compares them to the adult target forms in.....
Determination of correct vs. incorrect productions
42
Nonstuttering Dysfluent vs. Incipient stutterer | Frequency
9 or less vs | 10 or more per 100 words
43
Nonstuttering Dysfluent | predominant type
Whole word and phrase repetitions, interjections, revisions
44
Nonstuttering Dysfluent Unit repetitions
No more than 2 unit repetitions (b-b-ball)
45
Nonstuttering Dysfluent | Voicing and air flow
Little or no difficulty starting or sustaining air flow; continuous phonation during part word repetitions
46
Acquired Language Disorders
- Dependant on severity of injury and language development at time of injury - First 3-12 months post injury spontaneous recovery - Typically have residual language problems
47
Trade offs
Increased complexity in one area may result in decreased complexity or accuracy in another area
