Question 66 · LDEK · Craniofacial and occlusal development

Indicate the true statements regarding the development of speech function in children:

1) the articulation must be closely synchronized with the breath;
2) first, the child pronounces lip consonants (m, p, b), formed by the anterior part of the tongue (t, d, I, n) and posterior part of the tongue (k, g);
3) first, the child pronounces hissing consonants (s, z, c, dz);
4) buzzing consonants appear last (ʂ, tʂ, ʒ, dz, dʒ);
5) pronunciation is the motor part of speech, which means that deviations in previous functions, e.g. swallowing - may be the basis for speech irregularities.
The correct answer is:
  1. A. 2,4.
  2. B. 3,4.
  3. C. 1,3,4,5.
  4. D. 1,2,4,5.
  5. E. all of the above.
Hint

Speech sounds appear in a fixed developmental order and depend on breathing and earlier oral functions; check which group comes first and which last.
