Document Summary

Real versus abstract - how i articulate the sounds, describe, looks (cat, hat) vs. categorizing the meaningful thing, the function, how you use it. Articulatory - production of sounds (how you produce a p") Voicing: t,d (vibration of vocal cords is the only thing that discriminates against the letters) Canadian raising: going up on diphthongs , about, house (we hear with accents and speak with one) Present stimulus repeatedly - response decreases overtime. Should include post-test as well to ensure infant is still into the experiment. Rewarded if turns head to change in sound (animated toys and praise). train them to change their head for reward. At first, reward comes on post change regardless of ht. Gradually, delay introduced so that ht can happen. Could be % correct or a criterion number of ht. Remembers passages read to them during 3rd trimester.
