Psycholinguistics

input

listening

output

speaking

top down processing

need prior info and experience to understand

Bottom up processing

dont need prior info or experience to understand

Peripheral auditory processing

Listening to word

Speech/non discrimination

Discriminate if the words or are already in lexicon (new)

Phonological recognition

Are the words the same
- differences in words, onset, coda, rhythm

Phonetic discrimination

Understanding a word is the same despite differing accents

Phonological representation

Start, middle and end of word

Semantic representation

Determines the difference between 2 words

Motor programme

Has stirred instructions on how to say words
Is for words they've said before and are familiar

Motor programming

Starts the list of instructions to send to motor plan if its a non word (new word)

Motor planning

Includes info on rate, intonation, rather, form an sentence
Prepares brain to send message

Motor execution

Receives the motor planning for oral production
Motor plan Ning for - mouth, tongue teeth, vocal folds

Therapy task includes

Materials
Procedure- what assessments
Feedback from therapist
Supporting techniques- session plan

Cued articulation

Set of hand cues for teaching sounds of words
Can be used along side BSL

Lexical semantics processes needed

Semantics
Phonology
Morpho syntax
Motor program

Real word repetition

For children having difficulty producing words from their stored representations
Difficulties with lexical representation

Naming

For bottom up processing difficulties
Investigate auditory discrimination.

Non word repetitions

For kids struggling to connect phonological representations
Eg minimal pair therapy

Real and non word repetition

If struggle with Articulatory difficulties
- dysarthria, dyspraxia

Real single word repetition

For speech and literacy difficulties
Eg poor auditory memory/ difficulties with grammatical development

Real word discrimination

For those with not accurate phonological representations in their lexicon

Input levels of model

1- noise discrimination
2- non word discrimination
3-
4- auditory discrimination real words
5- auditory discrimination pictures
6- silent task, word segmentation

Output levels of the model

Naming and spontaneous speech
Rhyme production
Real word repetition and blending
Repetition of non words and blending
Oral examination
Between mouth and ear
