Some organization principles in early speech development

چکیده
In early speech development, progressive gains in phonetic ability represent progress in multiple domains (e.g., sensory, perceptual, cognitive, linguistic, and neuromotor) all of which are ultimately conveyed through the speech motor system. Accordingly, the comprehensive understanding of speech development requires knowledge about age-related changes in speech motor performance and about the factors affecting those changes during the various phases of speech development. In this chapter, we consider why motor-based descriptions are essential for addressing long-standing practical and theoretical issues regarding early speech development. We also present a conceptual framework for studying early speech motor development, which guides our current line of research inquiry. The conceptual framework proposes that developmental stages in speech motor behavior are guided by production constraints and catalysts to speech motor performance: Production constraints are factors that limit speech production abilities in young children and catalysts are factors that engender change toward mature speech. Finally, we consider findings from our studies on early speech motor development that are motivated by the framework. 10.

متن کاملA Systematic Review of the Effectiveness of Early Intervention and the Role of Parents in Language Development of Hearing Loss Children
Objectives: Deaf and hard-of-hearing children are slow in language development, and language deficits are common in hearing-impaired children. Here, all areas of the language, including syntax, morphology, phonology, semantic and pragmatic, are involved, and this leads to a deficiency in reading and academic skills. Evidence shows that through early intervention, we can minimize or eliminate pr...
