Com. Dis. Q3
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| speech sound disorder | difficulty of developing and using sounds of native language; errors in articulation of specific speech sounds; most prevalent among children |
| allophone | variations of a single phoneme |
| cognate | 2 phonemes that differ by only one characteristic (voice) |
| early 8 | mastered by age 3; m,n,j,n,w,d,p,h |
| middle 8 | mastered by age 4; t, ng, k,g,f,v, ch, j/g |
| late 8 | mastered by age 6.5; sh, th, s, z, delta, l, r, ezh |
| coarticulation | characteristics of phonemes vary according to context and how sounds overlap during articulation |
| assimilation | describe how the features of one sound take on the features of neighboring sounds |
| IPA | phonetic alphabet that describes and classifies each speech sound on the basis of how and where it is produced in the speech mechanism |
| phoneme collapse | child substitutes a single sound for multiple different target phonemes |
| homonymy | when a child's sound errors cause different words to sound the same |
| speech delay | children between 2 and 9 the exhibit developmental phonological impairment characterized by low intelligibility and high frequency of errors in speech production; unknown etiology |
| questionable residual errors | children between 6 and 9 who show subtle errors in speech; do not typically impact intelligibility |
| residual errors | children 9 years or older who persist in speech problems |
| unknown cause | most prevalent; most likely a genetic component |
| otitis media with effusion | ear infection |
| developmental apraxia | underlying problems with the motor and muscular processes associated with speech production |
| developmental psychosocial involvement | not a faulty phonological system but characteristics of child |
| special population | developmental disorders |
| cleft palate | favor nasals and glides; tend to use a lot of back sounds |
| defining characterisitcs | small phonetic inventory, phoneme collapse, target-substitution relationship, reduced intelligibility |
| phonological awareness | lack of sensitivity to the phonological components of spoken language |
| minimal opposition contrast therapy | trains children to recognize and produce phonemic contrasts between words that differ by only a single phoneme; helps children become aware of minimal differences |
| phonological intervention | minimal opposition contrast therapy, multiple oppositions therapy, cycles therapy, maximal oppositions therapy, phonological awareness therapy |
| stimutability | extent to which a child can produce a new sound or pattern when given some sort of assistance |
| fluency | descriptive term used to characterize the flow of speech during communication; appropriate rate, easy rhythm, smoothness, automaticity |
| dysfluency | speech disorder that disrupts the fluent forward flow of speech; pauses interjections, and revisions |
| prolongation | sound being held longer than normal |
| repetition | of words, syllables, or sounds |
| block | airflow and the articulatory movement is completely stopped during production of a sound |
| secondary characteristics | accompany core characteristics; mental and physical efforts to promote fluent speech; negative feelings and attitudes about speech; will do something physical to speak right |
| neurogenic stuttering | results from brain injury or neurological insult; accompanied by other disorders of communication |
| psychogenic stuttering | results from psychological trauma |
| within-word dysfluencies | affect the internal structure of the word |
| between-word dysfluencies | dysfluency does not affect the internal structure of the word |
| situational avoidance | individuals avoids circumstances in which stuttering is probable |
| stuttering modification | goal is to the help the person that stutters better manage the moment more effortlessly and less tensely |
| fluency shaping | goal is to the help the person that stutters produce fluent speech more often and can eradicate disfluencies completely |
| voice | dynamic, complex product of vocal fold vibration to vocalize and verbalize |
| frequency | rate of VF vibration expressed as cycles per second |
| intensity | physical measurement of sound pressure in decibels; determined by how far VF separate laterally and how quickly they come back together |
| phonatory quality | how well the VF work together |
| 3 characteristics of fundamental frequency | length, mass, tension |
| dysphonia | a voice disordered in some way |
| aphonia | absence of voice |
| diplophonia | VF is producing 2 pitches simultaneously |
| hypofunctioning | VF are under functioning and have inadequate tension; breathiness or hoarseness |
| hyperfunctioning | VF over tense and compress too tightly; voice is too loud, high, and strained |
