PCAD involves which cueing in which initial sound of word is generated by the device?

• A. Phonemic cueing; initial; device
• B. Semantic cueing; final; user
• C. Visual cueing; initial; device
• D. Phonemic cueing; final; device

Answer: (A)

The concept being tested is how PCAD prompts word production by focusing on the initial phoneme and delivering the cue from the device. PCAD uses phonemic cueing, meaning the prompt relates to the sound structure of the word rather than its meaning (semantic) or a visual image. The cue targets the first sound to help the user initiate the word, and this cue is generated by the device itself, not by the user. That combination—phonemic cueing for the initial sound, generated by the device—best fits how PCAD functions. Other cueing types (semantic or visual) or cues for a final sound don’t align with PCAD’s approach to prompting the initial phoneme.
