title: The inference of speech perception in the phonologically disordered child. Part I: A rationale, some criteria, the conventional tests.
abstract: This paper considers the rationale and presents some criteria for assessing the speech perception of children with disorders at the phonological level of language. An examination of conventional test procedures suggests that none is useful in identifying clinically relevant perceptual disorders. However, readers are encouraged to inspect Part II (Locke, 1980), which describes procedures with more clinical promise.
