Summary
Children with speech sound disorders (SSD) perceive their communication differently than typically developing peers. Their self-perceptions correlate weakly with speech accuracy, highlighting the need to include child perspectives in SSD assessments.
Area of Science:
- Speech-language pathology
- Child psychology
- Developmental disorders
Background:
- Speech sound disorders (SSD) affect children's communication abilities.
- Understanding children's self-perception of their speech is crucial for comprehensive assessment.
- Parental judgment and expert speech accuracy measures offer additional insights into SSD impact.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare speech and communication self-perceptions between children with SSD and typically developing (TD) children.
- To examine the relationship between children's self-perceptions and parental ratings of communication.
- To correlate children's self-perceptions with objective measures of speech accuracy (PCCI).
Main Methods:
- 111 Dutch-speaking children (65 SSD, 46 TD) aged 48-89 months participated.
- Children's self-reports (KiddyCAT-NL), parental ratings (FOCUS-34NL, ICS-NL), and speech accuracy (PCCI) were collected.
- Statistical analyses compared perceptions between groups and with objective measures.
Main Results:
- Children with SSD reported different perceptions of speech and communication compared to TD children.
- In the SSD group, speech accuracy moderately correlated with intelligibility but weakly with self-perception.
- Correlations between children's and parents' perceptions were weak.
Conclusions:
- Children's self-perceptions provide unique information complementary to parental and expert assessments.
- Including children's perspectives is vital for a holistic understanding of SSD impact.
- Future research should prioritize eliciting children's views on their communication challenges.

Children master language quickly and with relative ease, supported by both biological predisposition and reinforcement. B. F. Skinner (1957) proposed that language is learned through reinforcement, while Noam Chomsky (1965) argued that language acquisition mechanisms are biologically determined.
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...

Perception is a fundamental psychological process that enables individuals to organize, interpret, and consciously experience sensory information. This process is crucial for understanding and interacting with the world around us. It includes both bottom-up and top-down processing, each playing a distinct role in how we perceive our environment.
Bottom-up processing begins at the sensory level, where receptors detect external environmental stimuli. These could include the tactile sensation of...

01:25Factors Affecting Perception
1.9K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.

The information-processing theory of cognitive development centers on fundamental mental processes, including attention, memory, and problem-solving skills. Researchers in this field examine how cognitive abilities, such as working memory, evolve and influence children's overall development. Studies indicate that children with stronger working memory tend to excel in reading comprehension, math, and problem-solving compared to peers with less efficient memory skills. Low working memory is...

01:01Perception of Sound Waves

The human ear is not equally sensitive to all frequencies in the audible range. It may perceive sound waves with the same pressure but different frequencies as having different loudness. Moreover, the perception of sound waves depends on the health of an individual's ears, which decays with age. The health of one's ears may also be affected by regular exposure to loud noises.
The pitch of a sound depends on the frequency and the pressure amplitude of the source. Two sounds of the same...

According to Charles Cooley, we base our image on what we think other people see (Cooley 1902). We imagine how we must appear to others, then react to this speculation. We don certain clothes, prepare our hair in a particular manner, wear makeup, use cologne, and the like—all with the notion that our presentation of ourselves is going to affect how others perceive us. We expect a certain reaction, and, if lucky, we get the one we desire and feel good about it. But more than that, Cooley...
