ASP 435 - Intro to Speech Sound Exam 2
1. What are three approaches used to classify speech sound disorders?: clas- sification by possible etiology
classification by psycholinguistic deficit classification by symptomatology
2. Which speech sound error is the most common for children with hearing loss?: backing
3. What is the difference between coalescence and consonant cluster reduc- tion?: With coalescence, the
consonant that is produced is not part of the original word
4. What happens during epenthesis?: there is an insertion of a phoneme, usually an unstressed schwa, in a word
5. What happens during metathesis?: consonants in a cluster get rearranged/re- ordered
6. What are the three clinical contexts in which childhood apraxia of speech occurs.: neurological etiologies,
complex neurobehavioral disorders, idiopathic neurogenic speech sound disorders
7. What does the term apraxia imply?: shared core of speech and prosody fea- tures, regardless of time onset,
whether congenital or acquired or specific etiology
8. What is impaired during CAS?: precision and consistency of movements that underly speech
9. If a child is asked to repeat a word, and they say it differently every time, what disorder do they most likely
have?: childhood apraxia of speech
10.What are the three main features of CAS?: 1.) Inconsistent error production on both vowels & consonants
across repeated productions of syllables and words
2.) Lengthened & impaired coarticulatory transitions between sounds and syllables
3.) Inappropriate prosody
11.T/F - at present, there is no certain genetic, neurobiologic, or behavioral marker for CAS: true
12.T/F - the overdiagnosis of CAS has become a widely discussed profession- al issue among SLPs: true
13.The clinical guidelines have specific ages for the minimum diagnosis of CAS. What are they?: under 2
years of age - under 4 years of age
14.What should be described in the diagnostic report when dealing with a CAS patient?: nonspeech oral-motor,
speech production, prosody, voice, speech perception, language
15.What should be included in the CAS diagnostic report when dealing with an older patient?: metalinguistic &
literacy skills
16.Articulatory groping and errors increasing with length and complexity are consistent with what diagnosis?:
CAS - childhood apraxia of speech
