A Comparison of Phonological Processes Identified Through Word and Sentence Imitation Tasks of the PPA

An investigation was conducted to determine whether or not similar phonological processes would be identified when responses obtained through a delayed word imitation task were compared to those obtained through a delayed sentence imitation task. Both methodologies are used in the Phonological Process Analysis instrument developed by Weiner, the tool which constituted the basis for this study. Responses obtained through the two procedures did not differ significantly and indicated that one method is as likely as another to facilitate the identification of processes or patterns that may be present in the speech of children with multiple articulation errors.
