چکیده
PURPOSE To investigate the articulatory awareness of children with normal phonological development according to the variables gender, age and schooling, as well as to analyze their performances in speech perception and production tasks. METHODS Participants were 90 Preschool and Elementary School students, with ages between 5 and 7 years, who were evaluated using the Articulatory Awareness Investigation Instrument (AAII). The test is subdivided into three articulatory gesture perception tasks (T1, T3 and T4) and two articulatory gesture production tasks (T2 and T5). RESULTS Girls showed better performances in T1, T2, T3, total score, and articulatory awareness perception tasks. Seven-year-old subjects presented better performances in T1, T4, T5, total score, articulatory awareness perception and production tasks, when compared to 5-year-olds. Seven-year-old children presented better performances than 6-year-olds in T4. Six-year-old subjects showed better performances than 5-year-olds in T5, total score, and articulatory awareness production tasks. Elementary school students presented better performances than Preschool children in T1, T3, T4, T5, total score, and articulatory awareness perception and production tasks. There was correlation between articulatory awareness perception and production tasks, evidencing that the better the performance on perception tasks, the better the performance on the production tasks. CONCLUSION Articulatory awareness improves with age and schooling. Female subjects show better performances than male subjects. The better the performance on articulatory awareness perception tasks, the better the performance on articulatory awareness production tasks.

Phonological Awareness Impact on Articulatory Accuracy of the Spanish Liquid [r] in Japanese FL Learners of Spanish
Foreign language learners tend to avoid phonological difficulties and simply transfer sounds whether from their L1 or any pre-existing L2. Phonological awareness (PA) gives students an active role in understanding their own potential in improving pronunciation through several methods. However, such methods are likely to be restricted to only passive learning methods, such as repetition, reading...

متن کاملHuman Feature Extraction the Role of the Articulatory Rhythm
Neuro-physical investigations [1] hint to a new paradigm for feature extraction not used in ASR. This paradigm is based on synchronized brain to brain oscillations, active during speech production and speech perception. This mechanism leads to an evolving theory, the author calls the Unified Theory of Human Speech Processing (UTHSP). The core elements of this theory are the articulatory rhythm ...
متن کاملArticulating What Infants Attune to in Native Speech
To become language users, infants must embrace the integrality of speech perception and production. That they do so, and quite rapidly, is implied by the native-language attunement they achieve in each domain by 6-12 months. Yet research has most often addressed one or the other domain, rarely how they interrelate. Moreover, mainstream assumptions that perception relies on acoustic patterns whe...
متن کاملA Gesture-Based Concept for Speech Movement Control in Articulatory Speech Synthesis
An articulatory speech synthesizer comprising a three-dimensional vocal tract model and a gesture-based concept for control of articulatory movements is introduced and discussed in this paper. A modular learning concept based on speech perception is outlined for the creation of gestural control rules. The learning concept includes on sensory feedback information for articulatory states produced...
