|
|
what are the two main principles of research studies that have to do with infant perception?
|

is it a coincidence that children can walk and talk at the same age?
|
- no because they can move themselves around to explore their environment
|
|
why is it that kids with disabilities, language doesnt take off as quickly?

|
-infants lose the ability to discriminate sounds outside of their native language
|
|
when is the best time to introduce a new language?
|
at 6 months, or just as early as possible because it is harder to learn once you've mastered another language, to learn another
|

|
|
at stage 1 of production, how old? what is reflexive crying?/do they have control over this? what is vegetative sounds? examples of each?
|
-birth-2 mo

-sounds they make when they are doing something -ex: grunts, sighs, clicking (done during breast-feeding) |
|
at stage 2 of production, how old for cooing? what does this mean? what sounds are coming out?/why? what does do articulately?
|
cooing= 2-4 months
-reflects comfortable states for the infant -this means it is the best time to work with the infant - creating vowel-like sounds with some back consonant-like sounds -we hear back sounds at this age because they are laying on their back or have them reclined mostly -this approximates the velum |
|
at stage 2 of production, when does laughter come?
|
-4 months
-sustained laughter=big belly laughter (youtube videos) |
|
what happens at stage 3 of production? how old? what sounds are being made? what do consonants sounds have?
|
-vocal play
-4-6 months - prolonged vowels and consonant-like sounds -consonants have some block in the vocal tract -there is extreme variations in loudness and pitch -have no control in loudness and pitch-- its neurological -slower transition between sounds because there is no muscle tones, cant coordinate as well |
|
what happens at stage 4 of production? how old? what are the 2 types of canonical babbling? what s important to know about these 2 types? do all kids babble? what does it depend on?
|
-canonical babbling
- 6 months and older -reduplicated babbling -variegated babbling -these can co-occur -not all kids babble -depends on their learning style and personality |
|
what is reduplicated babbling? what stage does this fall under? examples?
|
-similar segments of consonants and vowels
-consonant stays the same -stage 4 ex: bibibi --> b/c consonant stays the same |
|

|
-vary consonants and vowels across segments
-consonant changes -stage 4 ex: bimo, bimi |
|
what is stage 5 of production? how old? what happens at this stage? how are you suposed to react?
|
-jargon
-10 months + - "protoconversation"(early convo) -variation in intonation, rhythm, pausing -use a string of babbling with INTENT -the baby think you understand -what do you do? you play along with them -best thing to do is engage in convo |
|
what does protoconversation mean?
what does concomitant mean? |
-early conversation
- (at the same time) eye contact, gesture and intonation patterns similar to questions, comments, anger |
|
at birth- 6 months what do we hear? examples?
why do we hear these things first? |

|
- there are voiced and unvoiced -ex: unvoiced: /s/, /sh/, /f/ /th/, /h/
ex: voiced: /th/ /v/ /z/ -typically appear in the final position -at the end of a word |
|

|
|
what are the most common first words that come early? why?
|
- ball, cookie, juice (b/c of fricative position), toy, pet name or food

-b/c they are easier to say than voiced |
|
/___/comes first not /___/
" " why is this? |
/t/ not /ba/
/f/ comes first not /v/ -bc of coordination (harder to coordinate tongue and vocal cords) |
|
* what are the first 3 vowels that will emerge?
|
/a/ typically is the first vowel to emerge then /i/ and /u/
|
|
when you have a child with no sounds, what do you do?
|
-follow development sequence within reason
-teach front sounds first bc they are easier to teach |
|
what is the best way to teach fricatives? ex?
|
-we teach in the final position of the word, but its easier to teach in intial of word
- this case goes against normal development ex: easier to teach sub than bus (bc you can draw out the s in sub easier) |
|
what has research shown about teaching sounds?
|
- if you teach 1 sound with in whole manner, other sounds within that manner commit
|
|
if you teach /t/, but /pap/ comes in why?
|
/p/ is easier bc just put lips together
|
|
* what is easiest to control?
|
-lips
|
|
what is the easiest thing to control?
|
-lips
|
|
what is a good teaching technique?
|
- go for something harder and your easier sounds will come in
|
|
which is easier, voiced or voiceless sounds? why?
|
-voiceless
-b/c if i teach /da/, /t/, /p/.... /ba/ will come in |
|
what sounds are not mastered until around age 8?
|
/r/ and /l/
|
|
what is the idea behind crazy people teaching /r/ and /l/?
|
- if they learn this, all other sounds will come in
|
|
