SLP Speech Sound Production Disorders 2

Question 1

A child consistently produces /s/ with the tongue tip protruding between the teeth. This error pattern is best described as:

Accepted Answer

Interdental lisp

Answer

An interdental lisp occurs when the tongue protrudes between the teeth during /s/ and /z/ production.

Question 2

Which process describes a child saying 'wabbit' for 'rabbit'?

Accepted Answer

Gliding

Answer

Gliding is the phonological process of replacing a liquid (/r/ or /l/) with a glide (/w/ or /j/).

Question 3

The Dynamic Systems Theory of motor speech development emphasizes:

Accepted Answer

Interaction among multiple subsystems including articulatory, respiratory, and phonatory

Answer

Dynamic Systems Theory holds that speech emerges from the interaction of multiple developing subsystems rather than from a single maturational process.

Question 4

A school-age child produces /k/ correctly in isolation but not in conversational speech. The SLP should prioritize which treatment context?

Accepted Answer

Structured conversational practice and generalization activities

Answer

When a sound is mastered in isolation, treatment should move to conversational and naturalistic contexts to promote generalization.

Question 5

Which acoustic measure best distinguishes voiced from voiceless stop consonants?

Accepted Answer

Voice Onset Time (VOT)

Answer

Voice Onset Time (VOT) is the interval between the release of a stop burst and the onset of vocal fold vibration, reliably distinguishing voiced from voiceless stops.
