Question 12

A phonologically frozen form is evident when:

Accepted Answer

A phonologically frozen form occurs when a child continues to use an earlier, less mature version of a word even though their overall phonological system has developed beyond that level. This means they are not updating their pronunciation of the word to match their current phonological abilities.

Question 13

If a song lyric was "laid him on the green" and a listener heard the lyric as "Lady Mondegreen", this is an example of a:

Question 15

Levi (6;3 years) has autism and speaks English. You have received a referral to assess his prosody. As part of the assessment you ask him to say "cheese cake and chocolate", then "cheese, cake, and chocolate". This task is assessing:

Accepted Answer

This task is assessing chunking, which refers to the ability to group words together in meaningful units or phrases. By asking Levi to say the phrase both continuously and with pauses, you are evaluating his ability to understand and apply natural speech patterns, which involves chunking information.

Question 16

Daniel (10;1 years) has childhood dysarthria, specifically spastic dysarthria associated with cerebral palsy. His speech is partially intelligible. During a conversational speech task focus on phonation you notice that he has:

Accepted Answer

Spastic dysarthria, often associated with cerebral palsy, typically presents with difficulty regulating pitch and loudness, and a strained-strangled voice quality, reflecting the muscle tone issues and coordination problems that characterize this type of dysarthria.

Question 17

Blake (4;4 years) has a percentage of consonants correct (PCC) of 68% (based on a conversational speech sample). Blake's speech is primarily characterized by substitution processes (e.g., consonant cluster simplification, velar fronting in word-initial position only, palatal fronting, gliding of liquids). His errors are consistent. Based on these brief observations, Blake most likely has:

Accepted Answer

Blake's percentage of consonants correct (PCC) of 68% and the description of his speech errors, which include substitution processes like consonant cluster simplification, velar fronting, palatal fronting, and gliding of liquids, suggest a phonological impairment. The consistency of these errors and the PCC score indicate that his impairment is more than mild but not severe, fitting the criteria for a mild-moderate phonological impairment.

Question 18

Accepted Answer

The answer of 
...

Question 19

On a spectrogram of the word seem /sim/, you would expect to see:

Accepted Answer

A spectrogram of the word "seem" /sim/ would show aperiodic vibration in the higher frequencies for the /s/ sound, which is characteristic of fricatives, and pulses for the vowel and nasal sounds only. The vowel and nasal sounds exhibit periodic vibrations, which are represented as pulses on a spectrogram. The /s/ sound does not have formants or periodic vibrations in the lower frequencies, distinguishing it from the vowel and nasal sounds.

Question 20

Convert contrasts can be identified by:

Accepted Answer

Acoustically analyzing a child's productions of different words perceived as homonyms by a listener is the best way to identify covert contrasts.
