Preschool children

Area of Science:

Speech-language pathology
Child development
Linguistics

Background:

Assessing articulation in preschool children is crucial for identifying speech sound disorders.
Standardized testing methods aim to elicit representative speech samples.
Understanding how different sampling procedures affect results is key for accurate diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

To compare articulatory responses in preschool children across three distinct sampling procedures.
To determine if phonetic context influences error patterns in speech sound production.
To investigate potential sex differences in articulation among young children.

Main Methods:

Thirty typically developing children (4 years, 4 months to 4 years, 8 months) participated.

Related Experiment Videos

Three sampling conditions were used: word test, nonsense test, and story-retell.

Eight specific phonemes were analyzed for errors in each condition, with stimuli controlled for phonetic context and complexity.

Main Results:

No significant differences were found in the type or number of articulation errors across the three sampling procedures.
Error consistency varied across conditions and is discussed.
Boys produced significantly more articulation errors than girls, suggesting sex-based differences in 4-year-olds.

Conclusions:

Articulation sampling procedures do not appear to differentially impact error rates or types in this preschool population.
Sex differences in articulation error production warrant consideration when analyzing data for 4-year-old children.
Further research on error consistency across sampling methods is recommended.
