Dysfluency | The correct initial phonemes of the word are produced followed by a correct production of the target word | |
Not-a-correct | Correct responses including an indication that the subject believes that the response was incorrect or was unsure of accuracy, or the response was posed as a question | |
Semantic error | A real word that was semantically related but not phonologically related to the target | Semantic |
Formal error | A real word that was phonologically related to the target by the phonemic definition, but not semantically related to the target | Formal |
Mixed error | A semantically and phonologically related real word, but not morphologically related | Mixed |
Unrelated error | A real word that was neither semantically or phonologically related to the target | Unrelated |
Phonemic error | A non-word with the correct first or last phoneme or at least two other phonemes in their correct position, or at least 30% correct phonemes in any position | Non-word |
