| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The second testing occurs when 12 therapy sessions of 45 minutes each have taken place. The same tests as at test time 1 are performed to determine if improvement has occurred. Accordingly, the following tests will be performed: - discrimination of word-final consonants (audiometric test with 26 items, Hennies et al., 2012); - production of word-final consonants (naming test with 20 picture items, Penke, Rothweiler, Stollenwerk & Westerkamp, 2020); - production of subject-verb agreement morphology (production experiment with 30 short film sequences, Penke et al., 2016). It is to be tested, whether an improvement with respect to discrimination of final consonants, with respect to production of final consonants, and with respect to production of subject-verb agreement morphology can be observed. | — |
