100

Are sounds are stored in our _____ and we find a word within it through _____

Mental Lexicon ; lexical access 

100

The study of sound patterns in a language is ______

Phonology 

100

What are the phases of speech production and where does it take place?

Respiration (Respiratory system), phonation (Laryngeal system), and articulation (Supralaryngeal vocal tract)

100

State the 4 parameters of a vowel 

high, mid, low

front, central, back 

tense, lax

round, unrounded

100

Define Dysarthria

Motor speech disorder; impaired movement of muscles and execution 

Key characteristic of weakness

200
Define morphology and morphemes. 
Morphology is the study of morphemes and word structure 

Morphemes are the smallest linguistic unit that carries meaning 

200

Sounds that are distinctive are _____ whereas sounds that are not are _____

Phonemes ; allophones 

200

Air flow from lungs provides _____ source for speech production and vocal fold vibration provides ____ source for speech. 

The pharynx, oral cavity, and nasal cavity are _______ _____ to shape the sound. 

Power ; sound ; resonating cavities 

200

Phonetic approaches versus phonological process therapy 

Phonetic approaches focus on placement and movement of articulator - it is motor based errors 

Phonological approaches is based on pattern - frequency of occurrence, intelligibility, age and phonological development of the child - target a group of sounds with similar error patterns to help internalize phonological rules 

200

Define Apraxia 

Motor speech disorder; impairment in planning and programming the position and sequence of muscle movements needed to produce phonemes 

300

Explain the difference between broad and narrow transcription. 

Broad transcription is when we transcribe using phonemes whereas narrow transcription are transcribed using allophones and diacritics 

300

____ is the study of speech sounds both perception and production. 

Phonetics

300

What are the two general approaches to defining a syllable?

1. Based on phonological segments 

2. Based on the force of sound Sonority 

300

In terms of goal and target selection, you can choose between _______ or _______ ______ approaches. 

Developmental and complexity based 

300

Define cognate pairs 

Sounds that only differ in voicing 

400
State the difference between a monophthong and a diphthong

Monophthong is a pure vowel whereas a diphthong is a vowel produced with gradually changing quality 

400

Explain the difference between phonetic and phonotactic inventories

Phonetic inventory is the sounds the child can produce 

Phonotactic inventory is the syllable shape they are producing (e.g., CV, CVC)

400

What are factors that could influence scoring and transcription?

Age and behavior, dialect, intelligibility, linguistic context, response complexity, clinician bias 

400

For central vowels, in stressed syllables use _____ and use _____ in unstressed syllables. 

/ɝ/ /ʌ/ 

/ə/ /ɚ/

400

Explain what Childhood Apraxia of Speech

A neurological speech disorder in which precision and consistency of movements underlying speech are impaired 
500

What is the difference between a phonemic diphthong and a non-phonemic diphthong? How many of each?

Phonemic diphthongs do not have a pure vowel that can be exchanged as an allophone. (3)

Non-phonemic diphthongs have a pure vowel counterpart that can be used as an allophone (2)

500

______ is the term used to state which sound sequences are permitted in a language and which are not. 

Phonotactics 

Ex: we would not say "lkisp" in English 

500

Citation versus Stimulability testing

Citation testing is designed to elicit spontaneous naming based on pictures whereas stimulability testing helps you determine what sounds the child produced incorrectly and try to elicit production of those sounds  

500

Nasal, stop, glides are acquired ______

Fricative and affricate are acquired _____

Consonant clusters are acquired _______

Most sounds and clusters are acquired by 

Early

Late

Late

7 or 8 years old

500

Most phonological processes are gone by ___ with the exception of _____. 

Intelligibility is good and basic articulatory mastery is complete by age ____. 

age 3 with the exception of cluster reduction 


5 years old
