Phonologically Delayed Children's Responses To Three Types of Pictured Stimuli

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine 18 phonologically delayed children's (aged 6 years, 0 months to 7 years, 6 months) responses to three types of pictured stimuli (black and white line drawings, colored line drawings, and colored photographs). The size of pictures, coloration of the pictures, number of target items presented per card, surface or gloss of the pictures, and the number of items pictured on each card were similar across the three sets of stimuli. The only difference among the three sets of pictured stimuli was the method of pictorial representation. Results indicated that there was a statistically significant difference between the number of correct identifications to black and white line drawings and the colored line drawings and colored photographs.
