answer
Supine play with hands and feet, rolling onto belly, side-lying play, combat crawling
question
Development of postural control is dependent upon the interaction of the baby's body, task and environment.
answer
True
question
Reciprocal crawling is the highest form of hands and knees mobility.

answer
Baby is able to track faces across room
question
Leah has low muscle tone. You, as her OT, are trying to build her muscle strength in her trunk and gain better proximal control of her shoulder girdle. You decide to put her in a position that promotes weight bearing on one extended arm and through the pelvis to allow the non-weight bearing hand to play easily. She can finally do this because her trunk and shoulder girdle are able to move freely from each other. What is the position?
answer
Side-lying propped position playing with toys with free arm
question
Annie is excited that Taylor, her 3.5 month old baby is rolling! She is convinced that the Taylor knows what she is doing and is safe on a bed unattended as long as there are no toys around her. You are a pediatric OT, but also her friend, how do you handle this situation?
answer
Warn Annie that this type of rolling is most likely incidental rolling and probably due to an ATNR or a weight shift, and that keeping Taylor on a bed unsupervised is dangerous.
question
Brooke is an 8 month old infant who is trying to reach for a toy that is inside a closed container.

answer
Moro reflex and the Galant reflex
question
A child exhibiting difficulty with balls handling skills (catching/throwing) in gym class and on the playground will frequently drop the ball and/or get hit by the ball when the ball is not thrown directly to their midline. The OT will likely test for integration of which primitive reflex which may be persisting and interfering with this functional activity?
answer
Asymmetrical tonic neck reflex
question
Faulty movement patterns still influenced by reflexive movement provides a poor foundation for posture, stability, and mobility.
answer
True
question
Which primitive reflex did Dr. Vaughn describe as the only primitive reflex to involve all sensory systems and non-integration may contribute to increased cortisol levels and resultant high levels of stress/high anxiety and decreased immunological function?
answer
Moro reflex
question

answer
Imaginary/representational thinking
question
Which activity is NOT considered play?
answer
Parent directed goals for organized activity
question
Victoria is a 12 month old girl referred to EI for her poor mobility skills. The TEAM performed their transdisciplinary evaluation and found her eligible for services. The OT was called in, given the results of the evaluation and asked to go see the baby to initiate services and initiate OT. Upon arrival, Victoria was sitting on the floor, flapping the pages of menu, holding it up to the light and tapping her fingers on the menu while rocking back and forth in a seated position. When toys were given to her, she threw them aside with a swipe of her hand, not even attempting to pick them up. She made no eye contact with the OT as well when toys were given to her. This raised a red-flag to the OT that this baby is going to need a lot more than stability and mobility training, but social play as well! What type of Parten's social play is Victoria displaying?
answer
Unoccupied behavior
question
Victoria is now 5 years old and is enrolled in the autism program in school. She participates in supervised play groups. Her favorite play group is a rough and tumble type of set up in the adaptive gym area of camp. She loves to watch the kids slide up and down the slide and laughs and claps for them. She is gravitationally insecure so she does not like slides or swings. She does like to run around the area when the kids are swinging. Pick the best answer as to what type of social play pattern she is displaying.

question
Three approaches to articulation therapy.
answer
Traditional, behavioral and linguistic-based
question
This approach focuses on production of one or two phonemes at a time, until correct production is achieved.
answer
Traditional.
question
Techniques of traditional approach (9).
answer
Phonetic placement (before 1939), moto-kinesthetic, group method, integral stimulation, servotheory approach, sensory motor approach, discrimination approach, nonsense approach, stimulus approach.
question
Phonetic placement approach.
answer
Difficult to transfer skills learned to conversational speech. They also used their hands to manipulate the articulators (gross!)
question
Moto-kinesthetic approach approach,
answer
Sounds are taught as part of specified stimulus syllable, word, phrase or sentence. Client lies down. Used today with Cerebral Palsy
question
Group method approach.
answer
Emphasized client as a whole person with many behaviors, of which speech is only one. Think of it like AA (group therapy). This is often used in schools. Depends on warm, accepting atmosphere.
question
Integral stimulation approach.
answer
Involves many sources of feedback (esp. auditory and visual). Stress is put on the successful production of the first carefully chosen sounds. Takes into account frequency of phonemes.
question
Servotheory approach.
answer
Stresses need for client to discriminate the error sound and the correct target. Two stages. One, client learns to discriminate. Two, client produces sound in different words until production is consistent (even in spontaneous conversation).
question
Sensory-motor approach.
answer
Very systematic approach, uses coarticulatory effects in context of assessment and treatment. Developed McDonald Deep Test of Articulation. Syllable is the unit on which the approach is structured (ex, using back vowels with /k, g/ phonemes, and not paring /r/ with /o/ because it rounds the /r/, making it like /wo/.
question
Discrimination approach.
answer
Discrimination is key. When child can discriminate between error and target in sentences, production begins. Clinician uses toys and child must use correct name. Correct articulation is rewarded.
question
Nonsense approach.
answer
Goal is to use learned, target sounds not only in deliberate way, but also in spontaneous conversational speech. After child has mastered, they must use target in nonsense materials (CV, VCV, VC syllables and conversations).
question
Stimulus approach
answer
By Charles Van Riper (Father of articulation therapy). Focuses on the single misarticulated target sound. Four major steps (sensory perceptual training, production training for sound establishment, production training for sound stabilization, transfer and carry-over).
question
Four (five) major steps of Charles Van Riper's stimulus approach.
answer
1. Sensory-perceptual training or ear training (identification, isolation, stimulation and discrimination). 2. Production training for sound establishment. 3. Production training for sound stabilization. 4. Transfer and carry-over (5. Maintenance)
question
In stimulus approach (step 3), levels of sound stabilization production.
answer
A. Isolation B. Nonsense syllables C. Words D. Phrases E. Sentences F. Conversation
question
Behavioral approach application to articulation therapy.
answer
1.Baseline (present client's behavior) 2. Target behavior (desired behavior) 3. Cues & prompts (stimuli designed to evoke desired behavior from client). 4. Consequences (stimuli presented following a response, incl. positive reinforcement)
question
Fixed ratio vs. variable ratio
answer
Fixed ratio involves an immediate reward for every successful production. Variable ratio means more sporadically rewarded (variable ratio schedule: 18 correct/6 reinforcers= 3 VR schedule)
question
Linguistic-based approaches (2 major approaches)
answer
1. Distinctive Feature Approach: Child needs to learn the adult rule system. Teaching individual sounds does not help this rule. (Very time consuming) 2. Phonological Process Approach: End goal is improved communication
question
Three guiding principles for selection of process for remediation (in phonological approach of linguistic-based approaches).
answer
1. Select processes that interfere most with intelligibility. 2. Select less stable processes. 3. Select processes that are most common in young children. What is the etiology of cerebral palsy? ~~damage or malformation of the brain. Pre-, peri-, or post-natally
question
What are the associated problems of cerebral palsy?
answer
Physical, psychological, learning. E.g., sucking, swallowing, chewing, seizures, learning, visual and emotional problems.
question
What are the speech characteristics of cerebral palsy?
answer
developmental dysarthria. Respiratation, phonation, resonance.
question
What is the assessment of cerebral palsy?
answer
Pre-speech assessment scale. Non-speech acts necessary for normal artic development: Head control with neck stability Coordinated pattern of respiration & phonation w/ development of abdominal muscles Variety of feeding experiences Babbling practice
question
What is the remediation for cerebral palsy?
answer
Early neurodevelopmental team intervention: therapeutic physical handling, a variety of feeding experiences, successful experiences of normal motor acts
question
What is cleft palate?
answer
structural anomaly that can affect the tissues, muscles, & bony processes of lip, alveolar process, hard palate, soft palate, and uvula during the embryonic development. Failure of structures to unite/ fuse.
question
What is the etiology of cleft palate?
answer
uncertain, but may be due to trauma, malnutrition, drugs, viral infections; possible genetic predisposition
question
What are the speech characteristics of cleft palate?
answer
Resonance: hypernasality is a common problem Articulation: related to the severity of the cleft condition Decreased intraoral pressure: glottal stop, pharyngeal fricative, etc. Dental & occlusal abnormalities Hearing Loss: conductive, fluctuating Other: functional articulation problems Phonation: weak, breathy voice w/ tendency for vocal abuse
question
What is the assessment of cleft palate?
answer
team. Orofacial examination; Speech evaluation; Hearing; Language.
question
What is the remediation and prognosis of cleft palate?
answer
Sx or prosthetic management; Resonance; Phonation
question
What are the traditional methods for obtaining speech samples?
answer
-Screening Tests are used to identify persons who need intervention; preschoolers, etc. For school-age children and adults these are brief and simple. For preschoolers screening may be more complex; kids may not respond, etc. Criteria are norm-based. -Picture Inventories: motivating, easy, methodical, keep on task , identify -Other tests: lists of sentences, pictures. Consider: client's age, time available, purpose (diagnosis or remediation planning), need for a score, clinician preference. -Recording responses: as distortion, substitution and omission. May want to impose severity scales on these distinctions. +, -, ✔✗Consistency is necessary.
question
What is meant by stimulability, what is the purpose of testing for stimulability and how is it done?
answer
-Tested with exaggerated, visible, vivid stimuli. Indicates readiness to move toward normal speech, indicating option to delay intervention; high stimulability (75%). -This testing has examined how well an individual imitates, in one or more phonetic contexts, sounds that were produced in error during testing. -Has been used to 1) to determine whether a sound is likely to be acquired w/out intervention, 2) to determine the level and/or type of production at which instruction might begin and 3) to predict the occurrence and nature of generalization.
question
What is the purpose of an orofacial examination?
answer
-identify any structural, oral-motor or sensory deviations that might explain the presenting speech disorder. - problem should be treated with speech therapy or requires further surgery or other physical management.
question
What are the components of the orofacial examination?
answer
-Facial Characteristics General expression, appearance, coloration, symmetry, size, shape -Dentition Overall health, structural deviations, dental appliances, supernumerary teeth -Palatal & Pharyngeal Areas: -Structure Hard palate: clefts, fistulas, coloration (blue-ish sub mucous cleft). Soft: clefts, scar tissue, size, shape, symmetry, coloration. Lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls: same, nasopharyngoscopy, etc. Function: movement, reflex, nasal air emission, nasal resonance =Tongue: Structure Appearance, size, presence of growths or lesions, position at rest, symmetry, tremor, lingual frenum. Function: movement, rate, mobility, strength, range.
question
What information do we obtain by comparing performance to age norms?
answer
1. Vowels before consonants; Cs: 18 mos.: /p,m,h,n,w,b/, 24 mos.: /k,g,d,t,ng/, 30 mos.: /f,j/, 3 yrs.: /r,l,s/, 42 mos.: /sh,ch,z/, 4 yrs.: /dg,v/, 4;6 yrs.: /th/, number of errors. Intelligibility. Effect on communication. 2. Criterion-referenced testing: test items are selected from a teaching model that is determined from the goals of a teaching program. Performance is compared to a pre-set criterion (performance goal).
question
What is the purpose of Contextual Testing?
answer
-Influence of surrounding phones on a particular phone. -For highly stimulable children context may be unimportant. -Most frequently used for making treatment decisions such as choosing sounds or sound patterns to work on in therapy or identifying a particular phonetic context that facilitates accurate sound production.
question
What is the reason for Testing Auditory Discrimination?
answer
-The ability to distinguish between speech sounds. Theory: people with functional misarticulations have problems in discrimination between speech sounds. Evidence: this relationship seems to hold until age 8-9 years, after which there is no relationship.
question
What are the characteristics of the optimal speech sample?
answer
Should 1) reflect the child's production in actual situations, 2) reveal inconsistencies and consistent patterns, 3) contain the full set of (English) phonemes.
question
How may an optimal speech sample be obtained?
answer
It may be obtained in 3 ways: in the form of continuous speech in response to pictures, modeled continuous speech after a story (told in 6 parts- D&B) and spontaneous picture naming.
question
What are some of the issues with speech samples?
answer
-Imitated productions may not reflect spontaneous productions -Single word productions may not reflect conversational productions -A single phoneme may not be produced the same way in all contexts- coarticulation -May need to resort to structured samples if the child is unintelligible
question
What are the 5 criteria that any phono/artic analysis should satisfy?
answer
Describe the speaker's patterns Identify the ways these patterns differ from normal usage Determine the consequences of these patterns on communication Provide information useful for goal selection and treatment planning Provide a basis for assessing changes during treatment
question
How do the following 2 approaches assess sound production between distinctive feature and phonological processand what is their theoretical basis?
answer
3. Distinctive Feature Approaches 1. Groups sounds into classes according to the common features that define them 2. If the child's errors can be shown to share a set of features it is hypothesized that the child has difficulty with sounds that share those features 3. Distinctive features include: front/back, labial/non labial, sonorant/ non sonorant, stop/continuant, sibilant/non sibilant, voiced/ voiceless 4. By establishing those features it is assued that all sounds that share them will be corrected 4. Phonological Process Analysis 1. Simplify groups of sounds and eliminate sound contrasts. 2. Children exhibit PPs (or natural processes) on their way to adult articulation.
question
If you were to design your own Analysis Procedure what steps should you be sure to include?
answer
-Transcribe the sample phonetically -Analyze the syllable structures -Analyze substitutions and omissions (and distortions) -Examine the data for an inventory of the existing phonemes -Examine the substitutions and omissions for phonological processes -Analyze the child's phoneme preference
question
What factors will influence your choice of an Analysis Procedures?
answer
-Use both single words and conversational speech for assessment -No 1 procedure provides all the information necessary to select therapy targets -Most standardized tests provide - roughly - equivalent information -When choosing an instrument, consider: the time required to complete a test -The number of processes you need to evaluate -The type of sample to can be obtained -The intelligibility of the child's speech -The child's interests in proposed activity
question
What are 2 general types of PP (with examples)?
answer
-Whole word processes (earlier stages of phonological development): 1. Unstressed syllable deletion (ramon -> mon) 2. consonant harmony (duck guck) 3. assimilatory 4. reduplication, 5. cluster simplification -Segment-change processes 6. liquid gliding (lake wake) 7. velar fronting

question
What do we know about the accuracy of C production in 2 yr. olds?
answer
-Mean % of correct Cs was 70 (based on Shriberg and Kwiatkowski, 82) (43-91%) -Generally, greater inventories equals greater production accuracy -2yrs olds mainly attempt Cs in their productive range -Phonetic and phonological abilities may develop in parallel
question
What steps are involved in children's word recognition, according to current research and theory?
answer
Sensory input: bottom-up, phonetic information Contextual constraints: top-down, cognitive and L experience
question
Regarding speech production in the school-age child, what are the major accomplishments in terms of temporal coordination of speech production?
answer
2 and 4 yr. old children speak slower than adults, but maintain proportional relationships between segments. Final and stressed sylls tend to be longer than non-final and unstressed sylls. Timing control mechanism- more mature than the neuromuscular control mechanism at 2, 4 yrs. Verbal short term memory and speech rate increases were correlated in children Word-initial clusters may be represented perceptually, productively, or in execution, as one segment combining features of both elements of the cluster (swim -> fim) may start w/a timing-dominant system and then replace it w/an articulation-dominant system
question
What is the influence of literacy on phonological reorganization?
answer
-Knowledge of vowel alternations education &/or learning the orthographic system of a L bring to conscious attn. phonological change rules -Influence of spelling on perception and production: alphabetic or orthographic image combines w/other word info and is stored in the mental lexicon -Differences in lexical organization: children ~ attend more to rhythm, word endings; C-harmony; prefer open sylls, difference between unstressed sylls; later = literacy; derivational affixes
question
What is the influence from the peer group on phonological reorganization?
answer
Can change the child's parental influenced dialect almost completely in later years
question
What is the purpose of care at the 4 stages of artic & phon devel.?
answer
-Stage 1, birth-12 mos.: Care: facilitate practice of vocal skills -Stage 2, 12-24 mos.: Care: facilitate acquisition of sounds and syllables in specific words (a lexical approach; expressive vocab devel helps the acquisition of the rules of speech and lang) -Stage 3, 2-5 yrs.: Care: facilitate the elimination of errors affecting sound classes -Stage 4, 5+ yrs.: Care: facilitate the elimination of errors affecting late acquired consonants, consonant clusters and unstressed sylls in more difficult multisyllabic words
question
What are the 4 major Characteristics of Artic and Phon Disorders?
answer
5. Speech is not due to organic disorders (physical damage to the speech mech., sensory problems, CNS or PNS disorders) 6. Speech is similar to that of typically developing children 7. Speech is not due to dialect 8. Speech is considered disordered either by the client and/or members of their community
question
How are Artic Disorders different from Phon Disorders?
answer
-An articulation disorder involves problems making sounds. Sounds can be substituted, left off, added, changed, etc. -A phonological disorder involves patterns of sound errors, like fronting, backing, etc.
question
Differentiate between the organic and non organic etiologies of artic disorders?
answer
Organic as an identifiable cause; the second is though of no obvious cause and are known as functional articulation disorders in the 70s.
question
What is apraxia of speech in adulthood?
answer
A motor disorder of speech programming; it is controversial. It is a sensorimotor speech disorder; an impairment of the central motor programming for voluntary production of phonemes and the sequencing of muscle movements for the production of words.
question
What are the etiologies of apraxia of speech?
answer
Brain damage due to stroke, trauma, tumors or infection (most likely Broca's area)
question
What are the speech characteristics of apraxia of speech in adulthood?
answer
Articulatory struggle Errors increase with increasing complexity: vowels are easier, consonants are harder and of those, fricatives, affricates and other consonant clusters are the hardest. Errors increase with increasing word length Errors are inconsistent and variable Errors may be anticipatory (hostital) or perseveratory (hospipal) Greater difficulty w/consonants than vowels Greater difficulty w/ initial consonants than final Automatic speech and speaking with familiar listeners may be problem free Visual cues help Errors of transition (st-reet: may be accounted for by cluster simplification)
question
What are the associated problems with apraxia of speech?
answer
oral apraxia, oral-sensory perceptual deficit, aphasia, physical, social and emotional problems
question
What are the assessment procedures of apraxia of speech?
answer
oral assessment, lip, jaw and tongue function. Verbal assessment includes: vowel production, fricatives, affricates and consonant clusters in words repetition of single consonants in a syllable with a neutral vowel (/p/) repetition of multisyllabic sequences (pataka), words (snowflake), and words of increasing length by addition of morphemes (seem, seeming, seemingly) repetition of sentences and picture descriptions frics, affs, cons clus, repetition of sentences & picture descriptions
question
What is developmental apraxia of speech?
answer
not universally accepted. With it there is often 1. a high incidence of oral apraxia, 2. Imitation is effortful and "groping", 3. Unusual substitutions and distortions, 4. Greater difficulty with multisyllabic than monosyllabic words, 5. A number of soft neurological signs, 6. Higher level language difficulties.
question
What is the assessment for apraxia of speech?
answer
thorough articulation test, pataka.
question
What is dysarthria?
answer
disorders of phonation, articulation, resonation and prosody, due to weakness, paresis, incoordination and /or muscle tone abnormalities.
question

answer
Flaccid, Spastic, Ataxic, Hypokinetic, Hyperkinetic, Mixed.
question
What is the etiology of dysarthria?
answer
CNS involvement
question
What is the assessment of dysarthria?
answer
Structural and Functional integrity: speech function, orofacial examination, gross motor function including signs of tremor and atrophy: smoothness, range, strength and duration, rate, coordination
question
What is cerebral palsy?
answer
Developmental disability involving lack of motor control; presented most commonly as spasticity or increased muscle tone
question
When is it necessary to look beyond Standard Assessment Procedures?
answer
-Idiosyncratic error patterns are not rare in children. When unusual errors appear, a detailed analysis may show a definite pattern -Examples: vowel height affected use of C (/d/ before high V, /g/ before low V), syllable structure affected error appearance (errors in unstressed syllables) -Assessment strategies should be based on thorough understanding of principles and procedures as well as client needs
question
For what purposes should you use the Assessment Results?
answer
-Interpretation of the results -Making predictions regarding results of intervention. Those are based on stimulability, auditory discrimination and severity of articulation problem. The severity of articulation errors depends on the number and types of errors exhibited -Linguistic complexity may promote articulation errors in some children. Phonological complexity and syntactic complexity may interact showing deficits in both areas. -It is, therefore, necessary to evaluate the language abilities of children with articulation errors
question
What is Shriberg & Kwiatkowski's procedures for classifying severity?
answer
Tape a continuous speech sample. Repeat utterances for later analysis Calculate % of consonants correct from the tape Score the 6 suprasegmentals (loudness, quality, phrasing, stress, rate, pitch) on a 3-point scale Use % of consonants correct as the major factor, but also include age and suprasegmentals in your assessment.
question
What are the principles of the Segment Approach in goal selection?
answer
-Early development sounds vs. later developing sounds -Sounds that the child can produce as substitute, but does not use correctly 1. 20-40% correct production on deep test 2. Correct production is facilitating context 3. The child has the sound in one word position 4. The child can produce the sound in a less phonetically complex context -Sounds for which the child is stimulable (has the ability to imitate). -Sounds that will markedly increase intelligibility 5. Frequently occurring sounds and sounds necessary to make a lexical contrast -Sounds that are important to the child -Sounds that are physiologically easier in a given word position (like frics in initial position)
question
What are the principles of the Feature Approach in goal selection?
answer
Can work on one or more sounds Use above segmental considerations to select key sounds Later developing sounds Distinctive feature theory groups sounds into classes according to the common features that define them (see CNS: 2). If the child's errors can be shown to share a (set of) feature(s) (e.g., +voiced, +continuant), it is hypothesized that the child has difficulty with sounds that share those features. By establishing those features, it is assumed that all sounds that share them will be corrected.
question
What are the considerations for targeting a feature or a sound class?
answer
Sounds that develop a missing feature Sounds that involve earlier acquired features Sounds that will promote generalization of a feature
question
What are the principles of the Phonological Process Approach to goal selection?
answer
The aim is to eliminate the process Selection of sounds I Can work on one or more sounds simultaneously II Select specific key sounds based on the above considerations
question
What are the considerations for selecting which processes to target?
answer
Processes that are normally eliminated early Processes that affect earlier developing sounds Processes that are likely to result in early success Optimal or inconsistent processes Position and context specific processes Processes affecting sounds w/in the child's phonetic inventory Processes affecting sounds for which the child is stimulable. Hodson: select a stimulable sound (as an exemplar of the sound class affected by that process) when targeting processes Process that interfere most with intelligibility Processes that lead to homonymy Processes that affect multiple sounds Processes that are idiosyncratic and unusual
question
How is Contextual Analysis used in goal selection?
answer
-It can identify sounds that don't need to be taught because they exit in the child's inventory in some context. It is used as a measure of consistency of misarticulations. -When contexts can be found in which a sound is produced correctly, they can be used as starting points for therapy. The correct context is used to facilitate production and generalization to other contexts. -The rationale is that it takes less time to correct an inconsistently misarticulate sound (the less stable the error, the easier to correct it). Alternately, some say that it is easier to focus on a stable error pattern.
question
What is involved in the process of goal selection based on Productive Phonological Knowledge?
answer
-Determine the type of knowledge for each sound -Rank knowledge for each sound on a continuum from most to least known -Select sound based on least phonological knowledge -The rationale is that treatment should help the child develop a new skill that is needed and can be used for more than one sound
question
How is Productive Phonological Knowledge determined (3 parameters)?
answer
1. Breadth of the distribution of sounds (phonetic, phonemic and morphemic inventory by word positions and minimal pairs) i) The Phonetic Inventory (includes all the sounds that the child produces, including sounds produced correctly and sounds used as substitutes) ii) The Phonemic Inventory (includes only sounds that are used contrastively by the child. You can test for this by using minimal pairs) 2. The Distribution of sounds in the phonemic inventory (analyze the distribution by word position and morpheme. The word position distribution examines whether a phoneme, like a sound used contrastively, is used in all vs. some word positions. The distribution of a morpheme examines whether a sound is used contrastively in all vs. some target morphemes). 3. Use of phonological rule types: (static) phonotactic rules and (dynamic) allophonic rules 4. Nature of the child's lexical representations (approximation to the adult form)
question
What is the difference between the Most Knowledge and Least Knowledge Approach?
answer
-Most Knowledge: select the new sound so that it shares features w/and is most similar to sounds that the child already produces, like a cognate. -new sound will be acquired w/out great frustration - Limitation is that treatment must proceed in small increments; that is time consuming for the client with multiple misarticulations. -Least Knowledge: select the sound for which the child seems to have the least amount of phonological knowledge. - "automatic" correction of non-targeted error sounds
question

question
Which are the assimilation (harmony) processes?
answer
-Place Assimilation -Manner Assimilations
question
What is the summary analysis of speech samples?
answer
Comparison to norms Phonetic inventory (list all sounds the child makes, in all positions) Phonetic accuracy Consistency of errors Syllable structure Feature analysis Phonological process analysis Phoneme preferences Intelligibility Severity Stimulability
question
Define "dialect" and provide its characteristics?
answer
-Mutually intelligible forms of a language -Associated with a particular region, social class or ethnic group -Registers depend on participants, setting, topic -Dialect density: the extent to which speakers use the available features in a dialect -Dialects are systematic, with rule governed phonological, semantic, syntactic, pragmatic and proxemics systems
question
Differentiate between the artic/phonological disorders and speech differences?
answer
-To assess L1 only, L2 only, or L1 and L2 we need to 3. Sample the adult speakers of the child's linguistic community 4. Obtain information from interpreter/support personnel 5. Become thoroughly familiar with features of the dialects and language 6. Role of SLP: assess in English and consider the services of an interpreter/translator, bilingual consultant or aide.
question
Describe the impact of the phonological system of one language (native of L1) on that of a second language (L2). Address this in terms of: page 345 in text?
answer
Sounds that exist in both languages 7. AAE and GAE children often exhibit similar phonological patterns with different frequency use Sounds that exist in L1 but not in L2 8. Postvocalic "r" was used for the Spanish flap Sounds that exist in L2 but not in L1 9. Russian influenced English speakers pronounced palatalized consonants in their English Phonotatic rules 10. Sounds that only occur word finally etc nj is only word final sound recognized by Hmong speakers 11. Specific phonemes and allophones in inventories of 2 languages aren't the same. 12. Example: the alveo-palatal affricate found in English is not in the inventory of Cantonese. A native Cantonese-speaking person acquiring English might substitute [ts] for the alveo-palatal affricate because [ts] exists in the inventory of Cantonese and is close to the place of articulation of the English affricate. 13. May have different places of articulation ie [d] is dental in English but alveolar in Spanish Morphophonemic rules 14. The lack of one-to-one correspondence between grapheme and phoneme in English may influence pronunciation. The grapheme "s" in English is pronounced as [s] in basin and another way in the word measure, causing a speaker of Spanish influenced English to pronounce both as [s] Stress, intonation, prosody Also to consider, even if this is not phonology: syntax and sentence structure
question
How does the phonological development of children acquiring AAE compare to the phonological development of children acquiring GAE?
answer
- Optional features include: Word-final cluster reduction (test→tεs) Deletion of /r/ (professor→pəfεsə, throw →θo) Deletion of /l/ in word-final abutting consonants (help) f/th substitution in intervocalic (also v/eth), and word-final position Stopping of word-initial th/eth (the→də) b/v & d/z substitution before syllabic nasals (seven→ sεbən) Metathesis (ask→aks) Suprasegmental phenomena: 1st syll stress, more level and falling final intonation contours - similar phonological patterns with different frequency and use ~ 4-5 years a qualitative difference was present - those with speech delay had more stop errors, fricative and affricate errors in all positions. -AA children with without speech delays had devoicing of final d, sonorant and /r/ related errors.
question
What do you know about the acquisition of tones compared to the acquisition of sound segments in typically developing children learning tonal languages?
answer
-For East Asian Languages tones are semantic differenced indicated by pitch. -Mastery at 8 months before segment -For children learning Mandarin tone was acquired first, followed by syllable final Cs and Vs and finally syllable initial Cs. -High, falling: earlier & easier than rising, contour -Substitution errors existed in the 2, 3-word stages
question
What is known about the Phonological development of typically developing bilingual children?
answer
-more errors, more unusual errors and lower overall intelligibility -influence is bi-directional -Phonemes and allophones may not be the same -Differences in the distribution of sounds (phonotactics) -Cs may have different places of articulation in L1 from L2 (Spanish [d] is interdental, English is alveolar) -Phonological rules may be different -How and when pronunciation is acquired may influence L1 or L2
question
How does Coarticulation affect speed "segments"? Provide an example of a coarticulatory effect?
answer
A single word may not be pronounced the same in all contexts. This is less likely in the single word stage. It can affect it by palatalization, saying mish you instead of miss you. Or by final consonant devoicing, saying leaf instead of leave. Using the /f/ sound instead of the /v/ sound. Dropping the fundamental frequency. Also through voicing of a sound, saying absurd with a /z/ sound rather than absurd with a /s/ sound.
question
What is phonology, and of what is a language's phonology comprised?
answer
-Phonology is the science of speech sounds and patterns. -Each language has its own sound pattern, which is: 15. The set of sounds used in it 16. The acceptable arrangement of those sounds to form words (phonotactics) 17. The various processes by which sounds are added, deleted, or modified
question
When examining the levels of organization of speech, what parameters should be considered?
answer
12. Syllable integrity- can they produce variety of syllables? 13. Phonemic composition- what phonemes go into the syllables? 14. Phonemic properties- have no fricatives at all? 15. Segmental features 16. Articulatory sequence- what sounds can they put together? 17. Acoustic sequence- what sounds can they put together? 18. Suprasegmentals (prosody) 19. Paralinguistic information (emotion and attitude)- problems with this means something else; additional problems
question
Compared to adult speech, how is children's speech acoustically different?
answer
More variable in duration and precision Different with respect to coartiuclatory patterns (later in anticipatory coarticulation; later in children) Slower, differs in variability, ie the duration of individual segments varies more than for adults because they are well less controlled and there are differences in patterns of coarticualtion, more mature speakers show increase anticipation in producing a phonetic sequence.
question
What is the overall sequence of acquisition of speech sounds?
answer
Birth to 10-12 months: cry, gesture, babble, sound play 12-18 months: small vocabulary ~ 50 words 18 months- 4 years: most of the sounds, combined into morphemes, words 4-7 years: phonetic inventory is completed, complex words are formed 7-12 years: refinements, morphophonemic rules, derivations, may relate to reading acquisition 12-16 years: metalinguistic skills, essential for spelling In the book: Phase 1- laying the foundations for speech (birth-1 yr.) Phase 2- Transitioning from words to speech (1-2 yrs.) Phase 3- The growth of the inventory (2-5 yrs.) Phase 4- Mastery of speech and literacy (5+ yrs.)
question
With respect to speech perception, what are the main problems faced by infants?
answer
-Pitch, fricatives /s-z/, f-th, multisyllables are difficult for them because of high F. -Fricatives are usually among the last elements to be attained. -Linguistic perception= auditory perception & identification of contrasts btwn sounds, and also -representation & access for recognition of sound patterns. -Research with young children: cognitive capacities (attn) & consistent behavioral responses are limited before age 2-3. -Full vs. partial linguistic perception: changing internal representations of sounds for many years, from partially to fully correct (eg f-th confusions).
question
What is the role of prosody in speech perception by infants (1990s views)?
answer
-It facilitates identification of units; clauses (by 6 months), phrasal units (by 9 months). -After 6 months, infants begin to attend to segmental patterns as well as speech melody.
question
What cognitive aspects are involved in learning to speak?
answer
-Learning to produce a variety of vocal sounds -Matching adult sound patterns to own productions -Associating certain adult sound patterns with situations (situation-bound word use) -Understanding that sound pattern production can be used to share attention or for requests, etc. (get -attention and direct it to something you like) -Use adult words to communicate in novel settings (referential and symbolic use of words)
question
In what ways is the infant vocal tract different from the adult vocal tract?
answer
-Shorter vocal tract, pharyngeal cavity, tongue mass forward in oral cavity; gradual slope (no L) or pharyngeal channel; high larynx (C shaped); epiglottis close to velopharynx.
question
What are Oller's Stages of speech production?
answer
1. Phonation stage (0-1 month) VF vibration 2. Goo/cooing stage (2-3 months) control of voicing (loud/soft, on/off) 3. Expansion stage (4-6 months) squealing, growling, yelling, raspberries (bilabial trills), fully resonant nuclei, marginal babbling. Triangle of owles, aiu 4. Canonical (reduplicated) babbling (6-8 months) true C and fully resonant nucleus. CV sequence -Stops and nasals (or nasalized stops) + V (max contrast -Accomplishments indicate the infant's advances in motor control, visual-auditory perception integration of CV sequences and global imitation of adult vocalization -Deaf children do not produce canonical babbling within the first year (differentiates the children) 5. Variegated babbling (9-15 months) -Systematic, continuous and self directed exploration -Universal production patterns: language specific differences in production noted at 10 months.
question
What prosodic developments are seen in early vocal production in infants?
answer
-Failing pitch (F0) is the natural result of a decline in sub glottal pressure and of relaxation in vf tension. -Jargon: variegated babbling with adult like pitch shifts and rhythm.
question
What are the main stages of the Transition Period from Babbling to Speech?
answer
1. Relating sound patterns to meaning: 5-11 mos. 2. Perception in the transition period: entry into the native language: by 11 mos. babies recognize familiar words 3. Protowords: grunts as precursors of word production: consistent vocal forms and gesture -14-16 mos.: function is to share focus of attention or to request
question
What are the prosodic characteristics of speech in the first years of life?
answer
-Prosodic organization begins ~18 mos. -Children tend to omit syllables preceding the stressed syllable, but rarely the stressed or the final syllable -After ~50 words children exhibit the prosody of their L1.
question
How do infants systematize and reorganize their speech production patterns from the word level to the segmental level?
answer
-Easiest targets are whole words rather than segments -Production of a segment may vary rather than segments -Word shapes are holistically similar to adult shapes -Work forms may be interrelated, favoring a template -After 50 words a systematization of phonological representations begins; overregulation, "regression"
question
What is known about the interaction of perception and production in infants?
answer
- Linguistic perception=auditory perception and identification of contrasts between sounds. Also representation and access for recognition of sound patterns. Behavioral responses are limited before age 2-3. -Full vs. partial linguistic perception: changing internal representations of sounds for many years from partially to fully correct.
question
What makes use of PPs convenient for analyzing children's speech production patterns?
answer
-PP of a child may be not only "production" rules, but rather they may reflect perception or interpretation rules (like errors in the child's internal representation of speech sounds) -A descriptive convenience rather than a reflection of the child's mental activity -Error Pattern (Phonological Processes) Identification: a systematic sound change that affects 1. a class of sounds, 2. a particular sequence of sounds, or 3. the syllable structure of words 4. Provides a description of the child's overall phonological system 5. Potential for facilitating treatment efficiency 6. Various tests exist (Khan & Lewis, 1986, 2002, Hodson, 2003, etc.); analysis of spontaneous speech samples can also supply the necessary information What is Therapy/Intervention ? ~~An intensive stimulation designed to facilitate development or to effect a change: Direct/Indirect
question
define treatment?
answer
teaching, training, any type of remedial or rehabilitative work, and all attempts at helping people by changing their behaviors or teaching new skill.
question
What are the overall aims of intervention ?
answer
Eliminate/change the underlying problem. Change the disorder for better communication. Teach compensatory strategies that one can function better with. Modify the environment or the contexts in which the child has to function.
question
How do you change the disorder ?
answer
Induction intervention determines whether the outcome is reached. Facilitation accelerates the rate of intervention but the outcome is not change. Maintenance preserves a behavior that would otherwise decrease or disappear.
question
In general, what is the content of most kinds of therapy ?
answer
Selecting goals( functional aims), Strategies for selecting specific goals (Remedial, Developmental, Hierarchical), Goal attack strategies (vertical, horizontal, cycles), Number of treatment targets (deep 1-2, wide 3-4, cycles), Treatment context (Drill w/external, Drill play, Structured play, Play), Treatment Procedures((Instrumental: leading to change, Elicitation: provide opportunities to try and practice the target, Criterion: Criteria that is used to assess progress and change)
question
Why is monitoring treatment progress important ?
answer
establishes data on the progress of the client from the baseline and describes the methods that work or don't work.
question
How do you monitor progress ?
answer
by % consonants correct, % intelligibility, rating skills during communication, and Probe for generalizations.
question
What are issues to pay attention to when monitoring ?
answer
Some issues to pay attention to are criterion and starting level (Isolation, syllable, word)
question
What is the Pragmatic Approach to treatment of articulatory and phonological disorders and what is its premise ?
answer
It is a procedure that treats APD in a social and communicative context. The premise is communication centered instruction.
question
What additional facts (to traditional methods) are present in Diagnosis of Communication Centered Articulation Therapy ?
answer
Case history: communicative responses the child has the opportunity to use, Assessment: the degree of success in daily communication, total comm. System analysis Concurrent Diagnostic Teaching Exit evaluation: done in their environment and teach parents and teaches to evaluate child's artic accuracy
question
What is included in the concurrent diagnostic teaching ?
answer
The adjustment of teaching objective and procedures suggest by information from current diagnosis.
question
What additional facts (to traditional methods) are present in Instructional Procedures of Communication Centered Articulation Therapy ?
answer
Lesson plan for group or individual: communicative competence, speech production, various categories instead of just production related. Activities including rehearsals of concepts, language forms, and function to be used speech sounds, kinds of comm. Interchange) and activities. Home instruction
question
What is speech perception training ?
answer
It is the training of differentiations and identifying specific sounds through auditory perception and production.
question
What are the possible five levels of articulation breakdown and the corresponding functions they affect ?
answer
APPAA Auditory input - sound discrimination Phonological system - rules of the system Phonetic system - link the system to phonetic specificaitons Articulatory programming - plan the motor acts Articulatory execution - execute the motor movements for sound production
question
What are the guidelines for selection of contrastive items in testing auditory discrimination ?
answer
Items should be relevant to the sounds the child has difficulty with Minimal pairs items should contain the child's specific errors in the contexts that are misarticulated Specific auditory discrimination tests can be designed for each child Performance on auditory discrimination tests of children w/moderate and severe articulation errors is lower than that of children w/out artic problems.
question
What are some of the reasons that no correlation has been found between auditory discrimination & articulatory performance in some studies ?
answer
Inadequate sampling of auditory contrasts leads to paired contrasts that do not consider the child's artic error type and that leads to developmental constraints.
question
How would you determine if a child's problem reflects difficulty learning the phonological rules of the language vs. difficulty discriminating sounds ?
answer
Use context free sentences in which both target & error sounds are appropriate (rake, wake) and ask child to choose by pointing to one set of pictures (phonological performance test) See if the child can detect mispronounced words. If he does not we infer that these sounds are not contrastive for
question
How would you determine if a child's problem reflects difficulty learning the phonological rules of the language vs. difficulty with the phonetic system ?
answer
phonological performance test, but has difficulty between a target sound and the error form-phonetic level. no standardized test to diagnose.
question
What is the basic question learning theory attempts to answer ?
answer
How organisms learn and how we can control and predict behavior ?456 Behavior appears to be controlled by its consequences that increase or decrease probability of occurrence. Learning a new behavior involves successive approximations to the behavior. Performing the behavior in the appropriate circumstances.
question
What are the steps to identifying a target behavior ?
answer
Select a target behavior Describe that behavior in objective and measurable steps Get baselines specify the type of behavior that is expected after tx.
question
What are antecedent events ?
answer
Stimuli that evoke responses that includes cues and prompts
question
What are the Types of antecedent events ?
answer
Auditory stimuli: spoken instructions and models Visual stimuli: visual models, cues, diagrams, demonstrations Kinesthetic stimuli: manipulation of the child's speech mechanism
question
What are consequent events and what is their role in learning ?
answer
It is a stimuli presented after a response. Increasing behavior rate
question
What is positive reinforcement ?
answer
immediately follows a response and increases the behavior above the level of the baseline. `
question
What constitutes a reinforcer ?
answer
Is a necessary tool for effectiveness Must be able to be controlled by the clinician Should not wear out or have undesirable side effects.
question
How do you increase the probability that a behavior will recur ?
answer
The ultimate goal is for self reinforcement. The child will be able to gradually given control of the reinforcement procedures, so that they self-reinforce. The frequency with which a reinforcer is presented
question
What is the best type of frequency for a reinforcer ?
answer
Variable ratio is the best: interval schedles generate lower response rates
question
How would you decrease the probability that a behavior will recur ?
answer
Extinction response rate decreases when reinforcement is removed Time out a period during which interaction with the child is limited and opportunities for obtaining reinforcements are eliminated. Punishment a stimulus presented immediately after a response & results in decreasing the frequency of occurrence of the behavior. Response cost a reinforcer is removed following an undesired response.
question
When should you ignore unsuccessful productions in articulation therapy ?
answer
Ignoring unsuccessful attempts initially in order to establish a positive attitude toward artic training for the child.
question
What are behavioral probes ?
answer
Periodic tallying of the behavior (at the end of the session)
question
What is Van Riper's (1939) taxonomy ?
answer
client must be aware of the problem, must then learn discrimination skills, production of the target in isolation, syllables, words in initial position, final & then medial position, phrases, polysyllabic words and clusters, sentences & finally spontaneous speech.
question
What are the usual parts of instructional objectives ?
answer
Do statement exact description of what the client is expected to do Condition statement specifies when the behavior is to occur. Accuracy statement %, ratio, deadline Terminal objective, short range behavior state at the time of dismissal
question
What is the usefulness of analyzing a task into its constituent components ?
answer
The task must be analyzed in its constituent components, which will then be addressed in tx in order. (van ripper)
question
What is meant by "management of consequent events" ?
answer
Initially every correct response in reinforced. Later the reinforcement schedule is adjusted (usually variable ratio).
question
What is the function of criterion tests ?
answer
Also called Behavioral probes, are used frequently to show progress (3 - 30 items).
question
What is involved in transfer and maintenance of behavior ?
answer
Stimulus generalization same response to all stimuli w/common features Phonemic contexts learning s generalizes z Situational contexts Tx should be similar to stimuli seen in other situations to maximize chances of generalization. (Playground, classroom...)
question
What are five of the elements that a therapy approach must contain in order to be considered a behavior modification approach ?
answer
Establish a baseline prior to Tx Target is identifiable as correct/incorrect Reinforcement schedule specified ID series of tasks; easier to harder must be identified The exit behavior specified: performance on a final criterion test
question
What are some of the golden rules of behavior modification ?
answer
Immediacy instant of a reward is important Attention provide as a reward, careful about what you give attention to Selective Reward reward only the target behavior Small steps toward desired behavior, reward each step Imitation relevant cues
question
What are the main steps of the traditional approach to treatment of articulation and phonological disorders ?
answer
Sensory perceptual training Identification/Stimulation/Discrimination Production training Sound establishment Context/Phonetic placement/Sound approximation Production training Syllables/Words/Phrases/Sentences/Conversation Transfer and carryover the skills in clinic, used in conversation Maintenance
question
What is the rationale of the systematic multiple phoneme approach to treatment of APD ?
answer
Maintains the traditional steps of tx somewhat differently. Auditory discrimination begins after production is well established. At that point the client self-monitors. (May be time-saving.) Each step is outlined (behaviorally), criteria for mastery are given, record keeping is a must. WWA (whole word accuracy) in conversational speech is assessed (% correct words)
question
What is the rationale of the sensory motor approach to production training ?
answer
The syllable is the primary unit of articulation & coarticulatory effects are taken into account. Starts with the correct production of error phones in various coarticulatory contexts.
question
For whom are Linguistically Based Intervention Approaches best suited ?
answer
Children with severe articulation Disorders.
question
What are some of the general considerations in treating Phonological Disorders ?
answer
Linguistic approaches to Tx are based on the assumption that the child needs to learn the phonological rules of his language. Children w/severe phonological disorders also have problems learning other rules of language (syntactic, semantic, pragmatic).
question
Children with severe articulation disorders may have reduced speech because ?
answer
a. nobody understands them anyway, b. they are embarrassed about the way they sound, or c. there is an underlying language delay (so there is no FCD rather the kid has not mastered pasts, possessives, plurals, and 3rd person singular morphemes). Reasons to use the linguistic approach are designed to help the child learn the system. Phonemes are targeted in groups or by classes in a multi-phonemic approach.
question
What kinds of children may not be good candidates for the multi-phonemic approaches ?
answer
Children who exhibit only a couple of errors Children whose articulation disorder is secondary to an organic disorder (however, patterns of misarticulations may exist in these children and the multi-phonemic approaches can be useful) Children whose errors form no discernible pattern.
question
Distinctive feature approach ?
answer
features at the world level since features cannot be separated from the word Once the child learns the feature that will generalize to all other phonemes that carry the feature. Choose features that will help the child the most
question
What is the Process of elimination approach ?
answer
also works at the word level and wants to choose the goals that will help the child the most however, problem is rule-learning, the problem is phonemic (not phonetic, so tx is done at the word level). Intelligibility is scores and considered in the way therapy is given.
question
What are some of the issues concerning generalization (assumptions, types, theoretical implications) ?
answer
Generalization may not be complete and consistent, so training several exemplars of a feature or contrast may be necessary. Generalization training should start early in tx: give the child limited experience with other phonemes in the same class.
question
Regarding remediation strategies, what are the 3 goals that Ingram (1976) proposes ?
answer
Elimination of instability in the child's speech productions. Elimination of homonyms (words should have different forms). Establishment of contrasts within the child's system.

question
Chronic Grieving cont...
answer
For exam purposes, you should know that chronic grief is suffered by about one-third of those who lose a loved one. It involves continuing high levels of distress that extend over several years, or in fact, may never be reduced. This pattern is sometimes seen in older people who had intense, very close marriages, and is also more typically seen in parents who have a child precede them in death. Surviving the death of a child has now become the highest stress item on a revision to the Holmes and Rahe scale that we examined two weeks ago (our textbook did not have the revised information, by the way.)

Freud's psychosexual stages
question
new ego directs the baby's sucking activities toward breast or bottle. If oral needs are not met appropriately, the individual may develop such habits as thumb sucking, fingernail biting, and pencil chewing in childhood and overeating and smoking later in life.
answer
Oral-birth-1,
question
Young toddlers and preschoolers enjoy holding and releasing urine and feces. Toilet training becomes a major issue between parent and child. If parents insist that children be trained before they are ready or make too few demands, conflicts about anal control may appear in the form of extreme orderliness and cleanliness or messiness and disorder
answer
Anal 1-3
question
Id impulses transfer to the genitals, and the child finds pleasure in genital stimulation. Freud's Oedipus conflict for boys and Electra conflict for girls arise, and young children feel a sexual desire for the other-sex parent. To avoid punishment, they give up this desire and, instead, adopt the same-sex parent's characteristics and values. As a result, the superego is formed. The relations between id, ego, and superego established at this time determine the individual's basic personality
answer
Phallic 3-6 years
question
Sexual instincts die down, and the superego develops further. The child acquires new social values from adults outside the family and from play with same-sex peers.
answer
Latency 6-11years
question
Puberty causes the sexual impulses of the phallic stage to reappear. If development has been successful during earlier stages, it leads to mature sexuality, marriage, and the birth and rearing of children.
answer
Genital Adolescence
question
first to stress the influence of the early parent -child relationship
answer
Freud's theory made what major contribution to the study of child development ?
question
1.overemphasized the influence of sexual feelings in development. 2.because it was based on the problems of sexually repressed, well-to-do adults, it did not apply in cultures differing from nineteenth-century Victorian society. 3. had not studied children directly
answer
For what 3 reasons was Freud's theory criticized?
question
the ego does not just mediate between id impulses and superego demands. It is also a positive force in development.
answer
Erikson's psychosocial theory
question
Erikson added three adult stages. He was one of the first to recognize the lifespan nature of development.
answer
In what ways did Erikson add to Freud's theories and make unique contributions to the study of child development
question
From warm, responsive care, infants gain a sense of trust, or mistrust (Oral) confidence, that the world is good. Mistrust occurs when infants have to wait too long for comfort and are handled harshly.
answer
ErikPS -Basic trust versus Birth-1 year
question
Using new mental and motor skills, children want to choose and shame and doubt (Anal) decide for themselves. Autonomy is fostered when parents permit reasonable free choice and do not force or shame the child.
answer
ErikPS -Autonomy versus 1-3 years
question
Through make-believe play, children experiment with the kind of person they can (Phallic) become. Initiative—a sense of ambition and responsibility—develops when parents support their child's new sense of purpose. The danger is that parents will demand too much self-control, which leads to overcontrol, meaning too much guilt.
answer
ErikPS -Initiative versus guilt 3-6 years
question
years At school, children develop the capacity to work and cooperate with others. Inferiority inferiority (Latency) develops when negative experiences at home, at school, or with peers lead to feelings of incompetence.
answer
ErikPS - Industry versus 6-11
question
The adolescent tries to answer the question, Who am I, and what is my place in confusion (Genital) society? Self-chosen values and vocational goals lead to a lasting personal identity. The negative outcome is confusion about future adult roles.
answer
ErikPS -Identity versus identity Adolescence
question
Young people work on establishing intimate ties to others. Because of earlier disisolation adulthood appointments, some individuals cannot form close relationships and remain isolated.
answer
ErikPS - Intimacy versus Emerging
question
Generativity means giving to the next generation through child rearing, caring for stagnation other people, or productive work. The person who fails in these ways feels an absence of meaningful accomplishment.
answer
ErikPS -Generativity versus Adulthood
question
Old age In this final stage, individuals reflect on the kind of person they have been. Integrity results from feeling that life was worth livingas it happened. Old people who are dissatisfied with their lives fear death
answer
ErikPS -Integrity versus despair
question
directly observable events—stimuli and responses—are the appropriate focus of study
answer
behaviorism
question
The most influential, devised by Canadian-born psychologist Albert Bandura, emphasized modeling, otherwise known as imitation or observational learning, as a powerful source of development.
answer
social learning theory
question
baby who claps her hands after her mother does so, the child who angrily hits a playmate in the same way that he has been punished at home, and the teenager who wears the same clothes and hairstyle as her friends at school are all displaying observational learning
answer
modeling/imitation/observational learning
question
Social interaction
answer
social learning theory is associated themost with which developmental domain ?
question
From watching others engage in self-praise and self-blame and through feedback about the worth of their own actions, children develop personal standards for behavior and a sense of self-efficacy—the belief that their own abilities and characteristics will help them succeed.
answer
personal standards and the sense of self-efficacy and their influence on development
question
observations of relationships b/w behavior and environmental events, followed by systematic changes in those events based on procedures of conditioning and modeling. the goal is to eliminate undesirable behaviors and increase desirable responses.
answer
Applied behavior analysis
question
many theorists believe that behaviorism and social learning theory do not provide a complete account of development. They argue that these approaches offer too narrow a view of important environmental influences. neglecting children's contributions to their own development.
answer
How is Bandura different from other behaviorists ? Why are behaviorist and social learning theories criticized
question
children actively construct knowledge as they manipulate and explore their world.
answer
Piaget's cognitive-developmental theory
question
Piaget's ideas and methods of studying children were very much at odds with behaviorism, which dominated North American psychology during the middle of the twentieth century
answer
Why did it take American researchers so long to adopt Piaget's ideas ?
question
he body are adapted to fit with the environment, so structures of the mind develop to better fit with, or represent, the external world.
answer
adaptation
question
balance, between internal structures and information they encounter in their everyday worlds
answer
equilibrium
question
encouraged the development of educational philosophies and programs that emphasize discovery learning and direct contact with the environmen, convinced the field that children are active learners whose minds consist of rich structures of knowledge.
answer
Piaget's major contributions to the field ?
question
underestimated the competencies of infants and preschoolers. Piagetian problems can be improved with training—findings that call into question Piaget's assumption that discovery learning rather than adult teaching is the best way to foster development . nt pays insufficient attention to social and cultural influences— and the resulting wide variation in thinking that exists among children of the same age.
answer
limitations of his theory
question
Infants "think" by acting on the world with their eyes, ears, hands, and mouth. As a result, they invent ways of solving sensorimotor problems, such as pulling a lever to hear the sound of a music box, finding hidden toys, and putting objects in and taking them out of containers.
answer
Sensorimotor Birth-2 years
question
Preschool children use symbols to represent their earlier sensorimotor discoveries. Development of language and make-believe play takes place. However, thinking lacks the logic of the two remaining stages.
answer
Preoperational 2-7 years
question
Children's reasoning becomes logical. School-age children understand operational that a certain amount of lemonade or play dough remains the same even after its appearance changes. They also organize objects into hierarchies of classes and sub classes. However, thinking falls short of adult intelligence. It is not yet abstract.
answer
Concrete 7-11 years
question
The capacity for abstraction permits adolescents to reason with operational older symbols that do not refer to objects in the real world, as in advanced mathematics. They can also think of all possible outcomes in a scientific problem, not just the most obvious ones.
answer
Formal 11 years and
question
the human mind might also be viewed as a symbol-manipulating system through which information flows
answer
information processing theory
question

answer
How does information processing compare with Piaget ?
question
commitment to careful, rigorous research methods, its findings have led to teaching interventions that help children solve problems in more advanced ways.

answer
imprinting
question
a time that is optimal for certain capacities to emerge and in which the individual is especially responsive to environmental influences
answer
sensitive period
question
Sensitive period are less well defined than those of a critical period. Development can occur later, but it is harder to induce.
answer
How is a sensitive period different from a critical period?
question
seeks to understand the adaptive value of species-wide cognitive, emotional, and social competencies as those competencies change with age
answer
evolutionary developmental psychology
question
focuses on how culture—the values, beliefs, customs, and skills of a social group—is transmitted to the next generation.
answer
Vygotsky's sociocultural theory
question
takes cultural and social contexts into mind depends on assistance from adults
answer
How does Vygotsky's theory compare with Piaget's
question
led him to neglect the biological side of development, less emphasis than other theorists on children's capacity to shape their own development.
answer
the contributions and criticisms of Vygotstky's theory ?
question
views the child as developing within a complex system of relationships affected by multiple levels of the surrounding environment.
answer
Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory?
question
adults affect children's behavior, but children's biologically and socially influenced characteristics—their physical attributes, personalities, and capacities—also affect adults' behavior.

answer
Macrosystem-
question
Changes in life events can be imposed on the child. Alternatively, they can arise from within the child, since as children get older they select, modify, and create many of their own settings and experiences.
answer
Chronosystem
question
the birth of a sibling, the beginning of school, or parents' divorce, modify existing relationships between children and their environment, producing new conditions that affect development.
answer
Examples of the chronosystem
question
the child's mind, body, and physical and social worlds form an integrated system that guides mastery of new skills. The system is dynamic, or constantly in motion. A change in any part of it—from brain growth to physical and social surroundings—disrupts the current organism-environment relationship. When this happens, the child actively reorganizes her behavior so that the components of the system work together again but in a more complex, effective way.
