  • Title: A minimal-world-pair model for teaching the linguistic significance of distinctive feature properties.
    Author: Blache SE, Parsons CL, Humphreys J.
    Journal: J Speech Hear Disord; 1981 Aug; 46(3):291-6. PubMed ID: 7278174.
    Abstract:
    A word level behavioral routine for the remediation of distinctive feature errors was developed for resolving some current theoretical criticisms of minimal-pair therapy. Seven children with moderate to severe non-organic phonological disabilities were taught to correctly discriminate and produce sounds in words by utilizing lexical contrasts. A one-group pretest-posttest design was utilized to establish that the number and severity of the sound substitutions decreased with training. Phonemic improvement was demonstrated with as few as three minimal-pair-words. A paradigm is proffered for future development and explanation.
