Phonological Patterns
True/False
Treatment Methods
100

This phonological pattern occurs when sounds at the back of the mouth (i.e. "k","g") are produced using the front of the mouth (i.e. "t", "d")

a. gliding    c. stopping

b. fronting  d. backing

What is B: fronting?

100

True or False? AAE stands for All American English. 

What is False?


AAE stands for African American English

This approach usually take place within a specific time frame (i.e. 5-16 weeks). 


a. Cycle's Approach  c. Minimal Oppositions

b. Complexity Approach  d. Maximal Oppositions

What is A: Cycle's Approach

200

This phonological pattern occurs when /r/ becomes /w/ & when /l/ becomes /w/ or /y/.

a. stopping  c. vowelization

b. backing  d. gliding

What is D: gliding?

200

True or False? If a speaker of AAE produces the word "bruvah" for the word "brother", SLPs should count the production correct when scoring an assessment.

What is True?

200

This treatment approach selects target words from the client's everyday, functional vocabulary.

a. Cycle's   c. maximal opposition

b. Core Vocabulary  d. complexity

What is B: Core Vocabulary?
300

This phonological pattern occurs when a consonant cluster is reduced to a single consonant. 

a. final consonant deletion  c. cluster reduction

b. initial consonant deletion  d. deaffrication 

What is D: deaffrication?

300

True or False? If a speaker of AAE produces the word "lookin'" for "looking" the SLP should count the production incorrect when scoring an assessment.

What is False? 

The SLP should count the production as correct as replacing as leaving the "g" off of "ing" is standard for speakers of AAE.

300

This approach selects two target sounds that may differ in place, voice, and manner of articulation.

a. Maximal Opposition  c. Complexity

b. Cycle's  d. Minimal Opposition

What is A: Maximal Opposition?

400

This phonological pattern occurs when a consonant sound starts to sound like another consonant in the word. (i.e. "bub" for "bus")

a. assimilation   c. fronting

b. stopping   d. deaffrication

What is A: assimilation?

400

True or False? A speaker of SAE (Standard American English) produces the word "cup" for "cub". The SLP marks the production as incorrect.

What is True?

It would only be marked correct for speakers of AAE, where voicing rules for final consonants are not strict.

400

This approach uses "pairs of words that differ by only one phoneme or single feature signaling a change in meaning".


What is the Minimal Opposition (Minimal Pairs) Approach? 
500

This phonological pattern occurs when an affricate (i.e. "ch" or "j") is replaced with a fricative or stop (i.e. "sh" or "d").

a. affrication  c. stopping

b. deaffrication d. fronting

What is D: deaffrication?

500

True or False? A speaker of AAE produces the word "to:d" for "told". The SLP marks this production as incorrect. 

What is False?

Inclusion of "l" in "l" blends is not required for speakers of AAE.

500

This approach uses targets based on hierarchies of complexity (i.e. clusters, fricatives, and affricates are more complex than other sound classes) & stimulability (i.e. sounds with lowest stimulability are more complex).
