Question 8

The tiers or levels in Nonlinear phonology consists of a prosodic tier and a segmental tier.

B) 6 months
C) 18 months
D) 12 months

Question 12

Natural phonology contributed to the SLP field specifically by introducing the idea of:

A) Moraic theory
B) Representational phonology
C) Segmental phonology
D) Phonological processes or patterns

Question 13

A common set of theories that focus on the input signal and output signal of speech production are referred to as:

B) Speaking rate
C) Intelligibility
D) Clarity

Question 15

In many of the popular diary studies, the researcher is also the parent.

Question 16

Infants have been shown to be sensitive to changes in speech sounds by increasing their rate of sucking reflex when a sound changes.

Question 17

A diary study typically involves the in depth examination of the speech development of one participant.

Question 18

Fetuses can detect changes in sound while in utero.

Question 19

Asking a child to tell you what word is made from "c - a -t" is an example of:

A) Phoneme segmentation
B) Phoneme blending
C) Phoneme deletion
D) Phoneme isolation

Question 20

A popular index of speech production is calculated by dividing the number of consonants that the child produces and dividing it by the number of possible consonants. What is this index called?

Question 21

Give three examples of phonological awareness activities.

Question 22

Common patterns of speech errors that are seen in normal, delayed, and disordered speech in which children systematically delete or substitute phonemes are called what?

Question 23

Choose two of the models of speech acquisition to compare and contrast. Be sure to include specific information regarding how each model contributes uniquely to the field of speech language pathology.

Question 24

Developmental norms differ greatly in their recommendations for how sounds are developed. As a new SLP, how will you determine when a child is developing appropriately in the face of so many differing norms?

Question 25

Given this example, calculate the percentage of consonants correct. The child said "dibe me tome tandy" instead of "give me some candy". What is the PCC?

Question 26

Define intelligibility and discuss how intelligible a parent should expect a 2-year-old to be compared to a 3-year-old.

Question 27

Give three examples of commonly seen speech sound errors/ substitutions.

Question 28

Discuss the specific ways that speech sounds develop from birth to age 1 year.
