The factor of timing on intelligible speech among normally-hearing persons was studied to determine some ways in which it differs from the speech of the deaf. Additional data was gathered on the temporal aspects of the speech of deaf and hearing children and hearing adults. The data corroborated earlier studies indicating that (1) deaf speakers…

The procedure was used with nine deaf students to train for velar control in both unsupervised and tutorial drills. Results showed that tutoring with the display resulted in acquisition of new speech skills,…

To improve speech patterns of deaf children, a visual aid was developed which assists in the training of velar control. A small accelerometer is attached to the nose, and its output presented on a computer-controlled visual display. The display then may be used as a training aid, or for analyzing recorded or live speech. Properties of…
