Background:
Generalization based on implicational relations.
Aim:
To analyze generalization based on implicational relations in subjects with mild-moderate phonological disorder, who underwent therapy based on the Maximal Oppositions Model.
Method:
The initial phonological system of four subjects was analyzed, taking in consideration sounds that were not completely acquired and their changes in probes. A final phonological assessment was made.
Results:
All subjects presented generalizations based on implicational relations and expanded their phonological systems.
Conclusion:
The Maximal Oppositions Model favored generalizations based on implicational relations.
