what is substance?
-also known as acoustic properties
-ex: you can study sound vibrations of vocal cord = phonation
ex: saying 'ba' vs. 'pa'

what is articulatory or physiological phonetics?
- how are speech sounds being produced by a speaker of a language
- the study of a function of speech organs during the process of speaking
- goals include studying the vocal tract and its structures to describe precisely what happens as speech sounds are produced

what are two ways to measure infant perceptions?
1. high amplitude sucking
2. visually reinforced head turn
what is high amplitude sucking?
- for ages 3-4 months
- change the stimulus and check for the rate of the infants suckinf, if they hear a different sound, sucking gets faster and stronger
-when they get used to the sound--slower and weaker suck

when do children usually learn to walk and talk?
around 12 months, now its more around 18 months
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

-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

where do stops typically appear? (come later on)
ex: /t/, /p/
-in initial positions of words first
- come in the beginning of the word

ex: voiced: /th/ /v/ /z/
-typically appear in the final position
-at the end of a word
what is common for fricatives?
- will either delete or substitute another sound
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 there is a stop in initial position so its easier
-stop in the beginning and fricative at the end
velars usually appear in the ___ position

-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
should you always follow dev sequence?
- dont have to follow strict developmental sequence--> dont need to always start with easy and progress
