Abstract
Five experienced articulation judges scored the tape-recorded responses of four children with articulatorily deviant /r/s under two response arrangement conditions. The tape conditions contrasted intact list scoring with a dubbed arrangement to investigate perceptual bias. The “intact” tape condition presented allophones of the target phoneme which varied from item to item, as the responses were originally obtained; the “dubbed” tape condition rearranged these responses so that responses to similar stimuli occurred successively. The /r/ phoneme data indicated significant interactions among the tape conditions, allophone error-type, and severity of error. Implications for reliability training and sampling are discussed.
