Interallophonic generalization of (r) training.

P R Hoffman

    The Journal of Speech and Hearing Disorders
    |May 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    Speech therapy for children with (r) misarticulation shows generalization but limited transfer. Training should include all (r) allophones for better results.

    The Journal of speech and hearing disorders·1985

    Area of Science:

    • Speech-language pathology
    • Childhood speech sound disorders
    • Phonetics and phonology

    Background:

    • Inconsistent misarticulation of the /r/ sound is common in children.
    • Specific allophones of /r/ may present unique production challenges.
    • Understanding generalization and transfer is crucial for effective speech therapy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effectiveness of targeted training programs for specific /r/ allophones.
    • To examine generalization of trained /r/ allophones to untrained ones.
    • To assess the transfer of training across different /r/ allophones in children.

    Main Methods:

    • Twelve children (ages 5:6–7:10) with inconsistent /r/ misarticulation participated.
    • Training focused on the production of specific /r/ allophones through syllables, nouns, noun phrases, and sentences.
    • Generalization and transfer of training to untrained allophones were assessed.

    Main Results:

    • All children demonstrated generalization of trained /r/ allophones to untrained ones.
    • Transfer of training was less successful from the [epsilon] allophone to [Cr] and [delta] allophones.
    • Shorter, less stressed /r/ allophones proved more challenging for transfer.

    Conclusions:

    • Speech therapy programs for /r/ misarticulation should incorporate training for all allophones.
    • Targeting shorter, less stressed /r/ allophones alongside the stable [epsilon] is recommended.
    • Comprehensive training enhances generalization and transfer for improved /r/ production.
