Which evidence-based approach uses minimal pairs to contrast error and target sounds to facilitate phonological change?
Answer: Minimal opposition contrast therapy
Minimal opposition contrast therapy pairs words that differ by only one phoneme to highlight the communicative impact of the error.
The Cycles Approach was developed primarily to treat which type of disorder?
Answer: Highly unintelligible phonological disorders
The Cycles Approach, developed by Hodson and Paden, targets children with highly unintelligible speech due to multiple phonological process errors.
Which phonological process involves moving a back consonant to a more anterior position, such as saying 'tat' for 'cat'?
Answer: Fronting
Fronting occurs when velar or palatal sounds are replaced by alveolar or dental sounds.
A speech-language pathologist selects intervention targets using a complexity approach. Which sounds are prioritized?
Answer: Late-developing sounds the child does not produce
The complexity approach targets late-developing, non-stimulable sounds to promote system-wide generalization.
Percentage of consonants correct (PCC) is a metric used to quantify which aspect of speech?
Answer: Articulation accuracy
PCC measures the proportion of consonants produced correctly in a speech sample, reflecting articulation accuracy.
Which term describes a speech error that is inconsistent across repeated productions of the same word?
Answer: Variable error
Variable (inconsistent) errors occur when a child produces the same word differently across multiple trials, which may indicate childhood apraxia of speech.
