Children with speech errors show less phonological awareness. High speech error variability in preschoolers may indicate unstable phonological representations, impacting language development.
Area of Science:
- Speech-language pathology
- Developmental psychology
- Linguistics
Background:
- Speech error variability is a key indicator in understanding speech development.
- Phonological awareness is crucial for literacy acquisition and language processing.
- The link between speech variability and phonological skills requires further investigation.
Conclusions:
- High segmental variability in children's speech may signal underlying unstable phonological representations.
- This instability is likely linked to deficits in phonological awareness, impacting language development.
