INTRODUCTION  Treatment of phonological disorders considering extra-linguistic and linguistic variables are important to ensure that the alteration is resolved promptly and in the best manner as possible. AIM  To analyze therapeutic advances (phonetic inventory, phonological system, and distinctive features) in children with phonological disorders by considering the therapeutic approach used,...

BACKGROUND Phonological therapy in subjects with phonological disorders. AIM To compare the efficacy of three contrastive approach models in three different severities of phonological disorder. METHOD Participants of the study were nine subjects with phonological disorders, with ages ranging between 4:2 and 6:6 years. All subjects were evaluated prior to and after phonological therapy. Thre...

BACKGROUND phonological disorder. AIM to verify the association between the phonological performance in picture naming and imitation tasks, assessing the occurrence of phonological processes and using the severity indexes of Percentage of Correct Consonants and Phonological Density Index. METHOD participants of this research were 50 phonologically disordered children, with no history of pri...

In this study, we analysed phonetic and phonological consonant characteristics of cleft palate speech (CPS) at ages 5 and 10 in cleft palate with/without cleft lip (CP±CL) based on Cleft Audit Protocol for Speech – Augmented (CAPS-A) data collected in the Dental Hospital in Glasgow. The nature and extent of CPS characteristics at different ages were investigated. Video-recordings of 42 cleft pa...

this study was conducted with the main purpose of investigating genetic variation among 13 selected sweetcherry (prunus avium cv. siah mashhad) genotypes, i.e., the most important iranian sweet cherry cultivars based on their pomological, morphological, and phonological characteristics. the experiment was laid out in a randomized complete block design with three replications at khorasan-e-razav...

The development of a well-formulated view of the memory storage systems (lexicons) involved in word recognition is a central goal of research on language processes. Assumptions about the organizing characteristics and structures of these memory systems are found in various discussions of lexical neighborhoods (Coltheart, Davelaar, Jonasson, & Besner, 1977) or cohorts (Johnson & Pugh, 1994; Mars...

In two studies, we find that native and non-native acquisition show different effects on sign language processing. Subjects were all born deaf and used sign language for interpersonal communication, but first acquired it at ages ranging from birth to 18. In the first study, deaf signers shadowed (simultaneously watched and reproduced) sign language narratives given in two dialects, American Sig...
