    An improvement was seen in his goals compared to the previous session. The clinician began the session by having CG sing along to the “ABC” song. The clinician redirected CG to a Do a Dot marker letter “B” worksheet, after CG became upset from putting away the Ipad. CG used the Do a Dot markers to highlight the letter “B” in the work sheet and CG imitated the letter “B” with minimal verbal prompting.

CG verbal identification of CV and CVC word shape pictures increased from 35% to 42% percent accuracy. CG percentage of color identification decreased from the previous sessions.

    In the first experiment, the “Ss” were divided into two groups. Two types of stimuli were used on them: national names which were presented digitally through PowerPoint (CS names) and words which were presented orally by the instructors called “E” (US words). For the second stimulus, the “Ss” were required to repeat the word out loud immediately after “E” had pronounced it. Two tasks were first given to the “Ss.” The first task was to learn five visually presented national names, each shown four times in random order, and “Ss” were required to recall them in order to test their learning. The second task was to study 33 auditorily presented words. In order to test their learning, after repeating each word aloud after “E”, “Ss” were then presented 12 pairs of words and they were required to recognize which one of each pair had just been presented by…

    The Stroop effect is a phenomenon wherein individuals take longer to name the color of words printed in a non-matching color, such as the word blue printed in red ink, than when the words are printed in the same color as the word designates, such as the word blue printed in blue ink.; J. R. Stroop first described this in 1935 (Goldstein, 2011). Stroop found that this effect occurs when the names of the words cause a competing response, which then leads to a slower response to the target (Goldstein, 2011). The Stroop effect is extremely difficult as we as humans automatically read rather than actually identify or rather we read to identify (Goldstien, 2011). Stroop wanted to use reaction time as a measure to see how reading, which is an automatic…

    Words are known as the building blocks of language, as they help us to understand both written and spoken language. Word recognition and lexical access are known to be bottom up processes, meaning that we can identify what something is by learning its parameters and building our ideas upwards. Lexical accessing is the act of accessing our mental lexicon and obtaining all information about a word, such as its meaning, sound and appearance (Harley, 2010). Lexical processing consists of 3 main components, identifying, naming, and understanding. Identifying a word consists of simply deciding if the letter string is or is not a word. Understanding a word is the ability to access a words meaning. Naming a word consists of accessing the sound of a word (Harley, 2010). Psycholinguists are very interested in investigating word processing, thus the lexical decision task was introduced. This task consists of timing how long a participant takes to identify whether a word is familiar or not when they are presented with a string of letters that may be a real word, an impossible non-words or a possible. Whereas real words are words of English that follow phonotactic constraints and have meaning, possible non-words obey phonotactic constraints but lack meaning, and impossible non-words violate phonotactic constraints and lack meaning. During this lexical decision process, many factors will affect how long the participant will take to identify if the letter string is a word or not. To name a few, the frequency effect states that the more common or frequently used a word is, the easier it is to recognize as a word (Harley, 2010). Age of acquisition, is an effect that states that the earlier in life that a word is acquired, that the word will be easily recognized (Harley, 2010). Lastly, word concreteness and imagery has an affect as abstract words evoke less imagery than concrete words, in…
