PHONOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT IN CHILDREN WITH CLEFT PALATE

描述（改编自研究者摘要）：主要 本研究的目的是探讨口语结构对英语学习的影响， 语音系统和发音技能的缺陷。四十八 单侧腭裂患儿和24例正常对照组 受试者将在以下年龄之间每隔三个月接受随访： 三个月和三年广泛的演讲和语言 将根据会议的录音和录像确定措施， 儿童的言语输出。语音样本将被分析为 前语言和语言产物。把...的影响考虑进去 腭修复手术的时机，两个亚组的儿童与 唇腭裂患者也会参加。一个亚组将接受手术， 大约在12岁的时候， 一个月后，另一个将接受手术， 说话，大约在18个月大。第二个目的是 研究父母反馈对儿童发展的作用， 代偿性发音家长会被要求教单词 含有儿童语音清单中不存在的声音， 有可能产生补偿性发音。 母亲所采用的反馈类型， 发展补偿性发音将与所采用的反馈进行比较 这些母亲的孩子没有发展这些适应不良的行为。

DESCRIPTION (Adapted from the Investigator's Abstract): The primary purpose of this study is to examine the impact of oral structure deficits on phonologic systems and articulatory skills. Forty-eight children with unilateral cleft palates and 24 non-cleft matched control subjects will be followed at three-month intervals between the ages of three months and three years. A wide range of speech and language measures will be determined from audio and video recordings of the children's verbal output. The speech samples will be analyzed as to prelinguistic and linguistic productions. To factor-in the influence of the timing of palatal repair surgery, two subgroups of children with cleft palate will participate. One subgroup will undergo surgery prior to the onset of meaningful speech, approximately at the age of 12 months, while the other one will undergo surgery after the onset of such speech, approximately at the age of 18 months. The secondary purpose is to examine the role of parental feedback on children's development of compensatory articulations. Parents will be asked to teach words containing sounds not present in the child's phonetic inventory that have the potential for being produced with compensatory articulation. The type of feedback employed by mothers whose children subsequently develop compensatory articulations will be compared to feedback employed by mothers whose children do not develop these maladaptive behaviors.
