fa16-project16-week 12

This week I had the children do another trial. This week I noticed that the child with the speech delay knew more words, and was able to pronounce and recognize the items on the game cards, better the first trials. I did notice that when she didn’t know the word she looked for the other child’s response to say the word correctly.  She knew already if she didn’t know the word to hand the card over to other child so that the other child could tell her the word. The child also was able to pronounce b, and s words much better without struggling. The child has an issue pronouncing bumblebee and strawberry, this week she pronounced the word with out mistakes. The child also looked at the other childs lip movement to mimic the words. In this trial the child has come a long way from when first playing the game. She gets how to play the game correctly and also is very happy when she says the word right.  I believe this game had its most importance with reinforcement learning.
