Their emerging familiarity with particular words, such as their own and other people's names, can provide initial anchors in the speech stream.doi:10.1111/j.0956-7976.2005.01531.xBortfeld HMorgan JLGolinkoff RMRathbun KPsychologic...
Phonological processes are patterns of sound errors that typically developing children use to simplify speech as they are learning to talk. They do this because they don’t have the ability to coordinate the lips, tongue, teeth, palate and jaw for clear speech. As a result they simplify comple...
He felt certain that she does not now, nor ever will she, have any of the larger complications of her LEN resulting in the syndrome. Those symptoms typically arise at a very early age, with the exception of potential learning disabilities such as delayed speech, which has never been an iss...
I knew the Secret Stories was a keeper last year when one of my Intensive Needs kids, who was really struggling with speech and connecting letters and sounds, pointed to his name and said, “Those letters are bad. They always stick out their tongues!” and then proceeded to make their so...
This is the youngest age at which infants have been shown capable of segmenting fluent speech. Young infants have a powerful aid available to them for cracking the speech code. Their emerging familiarity with particular words, such as their own and other people's names, can provide initial ...

Transitional Probability (TP) computations are regarded as a powerful learning mechanism that is functional early in development and has been proposed as an initial bootstrapping device for speech segmentation. However, a recent study casts doubt on the robustness of early statistical word-learning. ...
