Study Notes

Phonological Processing

  • Involves working memory, long-term memory, coding, and phonological awareness.

Speech Sound Development

  • Refers to the gradual mastery of articulatory forms of speech sounds in a language.

Infant Mechanisms

  • Infant respiratory, phonatory, resonatory, and articulatory mechanisms serve primary functions only.

Perceptual Constancy

  • Ability to identify the same sound across different speakers and environments.

Canonical Babbling

  • Begins at 6 to 8 months when the infant's vocal tract shape approximates that of adults.

Prelinguistic Stages

  • Stage 4: Canonical babbling involves communication through imitation games.
  • Stage 5: Jargon stage consists of utterances modulated by intonation, rhythm, and pausing.

Prosodic Features

  • Encompass pitch (intonation), loudness (stress), and tempo variations (duration).

System Learning

  • Type of learning where children acquire phonemic principles specific to their language.

First-50-Word Stage

  • Characterized by limited consonant usage and lack of frequent consonant clusters.

Research Findings

  • Cross-sectional and longitudinal studies show limited consonants used by children in the first-50-word stage.
  • Differing methodologies in studies lead to variable results regarding sound mastery.

Speech Development Characteristics

  • Speech sound and phonological development are equivalent.
  • At birth, mechanisms are functionally adequate for primary functions, but not structurally for speech production.
  • Adult-like respiratory patterns emerge around age 7.

Babbling Characteristics

  • Canonical babbling includes both reduplicated and non-reduplicated forms.
  • Research does not support that infants babble all sounds of all languages.
  • Open syllables are more frequent than closed syllables during the late babbling period.

Babbling and Language Performance

  • Quantity and diversity in babbling correlate with later language performance.
  • Babble from the end of the babbling stage closely resembles a child’s first words.

Vocal Fold Vibration

  • Large arytenoid cartilages and vocal processes in infants limit vibratory action due to structural size compared to adults.

Categorical Perception

  • Listeners categorize speech sounds according to their native language's phonemic categories.

Vocoids and Contoids

  • Contrasted with vowels and consonants, vocoids and contoids lack associated meanings.

First Words vs. Proto-Words

  • First words are consistent, recognizable sounds related to adult forms; proto-words are invented terms with specific meanings for the child.

Research Influences

  • Salience and avoidance factors affect research findings on the age of acquisition of speech sounds based on a child's preferences and environment.
