Abstract
Thirty-five children with functional misarticulation of (r) and a group of 35 matched normal-speaking children were studied on auditory testing including the Seashore Measurements of Pitch, Loudness, and Timbre, auditory flutter fusion rate, and word synthesis. There was a significant but low partial correlation between phonetic word synthesis ability and number of articulation errors. There were no significant relationships between the other auditory abilities and the number of errors. The control group achieved significantly higher scores than the experimental group in discrimination of pitch.
