Purpose To extend formal models of language learnability to applications in clinical
treatment of children with functional phonological delays. Method The focus of the narrative …

Purpose There are a number of evidence-based treatments for preschool children with
phonological disorders (Baker & McLeod, 2011). However, a recent survey by Brumbaugh …

The construct of complexity has been advanced recently as a potentially contributing
variable in the efficacy of treatment for children with functional phonological disorders. Thus …

Purpose To introduce a Clinical Forum focused on the Complexity Account of Treatment
Efficacy (CK Thompson, LP Shapiro, S. Kiran, & J. Sobecks, 2003), a counterintuitive but …

Abstract Jakobson (1941/1968) proposed that:(i) infants babble the sounds of all
languages;(ii) there is discontinuity between babbling and first words; and (iii) phonemes …

Miccio's work included a number of articles on the assessment of phonology in children with
phonological disorders, typically using measures of correct articulation, using the PCC, or …

Purpose To examine treatment outcomes in relation to the complexity of treatment goals for
children with speech sound disorders. Method The clinical implications of dynamic systems …

Previous studies document an influence of phonological knowledge on word learning that
differs across development. Specifically, children with expressive lexicons of fewer than 50 …

The effects of phonotactic constraints (ie, the status of a sound as correctly or incorrectly
articulated) and phonotactic probability (ie, the likelihood of a sound sequence) on lexical …

Word frequency and neighborhood density are properties of lexical organization that
differentially influence spoken-word recognition. This study examined whether these same …
