Abstract
Sound production learning as a function of sound discrimination learning was investigated. First grade Ss who were observed to utter /skrə'b/ for /srə'b/ were assigned to two discrimination pretraining groups ( N = 15 in each group): Group A, discrimination training on /skrə'b/-/srə'b/ and Group B, discrimination training on /sliyp/-/∫liyp/. The discrimination task was taught through the use of automatic programming devices. Following discrimination training it was found that /srə'b/ was uttered correctly by two-thirds of Ss in Group A, but was uttered incorrectly by all Ss in Group B. It was concluded that sound discrimination training effectively facilitated sound production learning and that automatic sound discrimination programming appears feasible.Keywords
