“…Furthermore, where group studies have been reported in the literature, the amount and intensity of therapy has been greater than the 8 sessions of direct SLP and 16 sessions of follow-up practice offered in this study (Almost & Rosenbaum, 1998;Bowen & Cupples, 1999;Rvachew, Nowak & Cloutier, 2004). In contrast, Denne, Langdown, Pring and Roy (2005) found that a group of children receiving 12 hours of phonological awareness therapy were no different from an untreated group in terms of speech production post-therapy.…”

This paper reports on the development and evaluation of a software program aimed at assisting children with phonological impairment. An experimental approach was used whereby children's speech output was assessed pre-and post-therapy. Children were randomly assigned to a computer, a tabletop or a no therapy group. Those children receiving the computer therapy were exposed to an experimental software program that mirrored the tabletop activities using interactive computer games. The results showed no significant difference between any of the three groups with regard to change in speech output. These results may relate to the amount and frequency of therapy given and also to the heterogeneous nature of children included in the study. There was considerable variation in individual performance across all three groups and the data were therefore analysed to look for patterns that might predict performance. Stimulability and gender were identified as possible predictors. Female children and those who were able to produce a greater number of consonant speech sounds in isolation were more likely to make progress in their speech output. Future research might use a similar methodology to compare the therapy conditions but with a more homogenous group in terms of stimulability and using a greater intensity of intervention.

“…This contradicts the various findings that speech perception alone aids the production of L2 sounds (Botero, 2012a;Bradlow et. al., 1997;Counselman, 2010;Rvachew et. al., 2004;Wang.…”

Instruction Type and Online Tasks in the Acquisition of L2 Phonology: Preliminary Findings

This study examines which type of instruction (explicit/implicit) yields target-like second language (L2) phonology. With the incorporation of speech perception exercises outside the classroom and explicit instruction in class, the production of target-like L2 phones is expected. Participants were students of 'Intermediate Spanish Conversation' at Penn State University. Tasks targeting coda [l] were completed by all subject groups. Comparative analysis of phonetic data from experimental groups receiving both explicit instruction and online perceptual input shows significant increase in target-like production of less velarized [l] in their L2 Spanish, apart from more accurate discrimination between L1 and L2 sounds.

“…This fact may be reinforced by another study 22 , which states that the presence of positive results in relation to the phonemic discrimination of specific sounds can promote a greater progression of therapy, giving important considerations for the selection of target sounds, as well as for the type of treatment to be adopted. Moreover, the insertion of a perceptive training concomitant to phonological therapy is capable to offer improvements in the phoneme discrimination, as in speech patterns 23 . With respect to the instrument that was used in this study, it was also investigated a possible influence of the minimal pairs of the SVDT at the performance of the assessed children.…”

Produção e discriminação do contraste de sonoridade das plosivas nos casos de desvio fonológico

et al. 2015

O contraste de sonoridade das plosivas representa uma complexa coordenação acústica e articulatória, muitas vezes prejudicada nos desvios fonológicos. Por esse motivo, acredita-se que esforços devem ser realizados no sentido de melhor entender os fatores que influenciam na estabilização desse contraste. Assim, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi correlacionar os dados de produção e o desempenho em um teste de discriminação do traço [+voz] em crianças com desvio fonológico. Para isso foram avaliados cinco meninos com desvio fonológico e dificuldade na produção das plosivas sonoras, entre outras dificuldades de fala. Por meio de pares de palavras inseridos em frase-veículo, observou-se a ocorrência de produção de Voice Onset Time positivo durante a produção de plosivas [+voz] e o padrão de duração das vogais adjacentes às plosivas surdas e sonoras. Elaborou-se um Teste de Discriminação de Sonoridade das Plosivas, a fim de se avaliar o desempenho dos sujeitos em relação à discriminação. O teste consiste de 12 pares de palavras, diferenciados apenas pelo contraste [+voz] e representados por figuras. Na análise descritiva, não se verificou uma relação direta entre dificuldade de produção do contraste de sonoridade das plosivas e discriminação auditiva desses segmentos, tanto na observação da produção de pré-sonoridade, quanto na observação da produção do padrão de duração das vogais. Mesmo assim, salienta-se que o emprego de uma avaliação de discriminação, bem como, de análise acústica nos casos de desvio fonológico, não devem ser desprezados pelos fonoaudiólogos, uma vez que esses instrumentos podem fornecer informações fundamentais para um bom progresso terapêutico.
