Gregg, Brent Andrew; Yairi, Ehud – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2012
There is a substantial amount of literature reporting the incidence of phonological difficulties to be higher for children who stutter when compared to normally fluent children, suggesting a link between stuttering and phonology. In view of this, the purpose of the investigation was to determine whether, among children who stutter, there are…

One important function of these additional ("top-down") mechanisms for hearing…

Searl, Jeff; Ousley, Teri – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2004
Tracheoesophageal (TE) speakers often have difficulty producing the voiced-voiceless distinction. Phonation offset (POff) as a TE speaker transitions from a vowel to a stop consonant may be altered, possibly contributing to listener misperceptions. The purposes of this study were to: (1) compare the duration of POff in TE versus laryngeal…

Thirty-one children (aged 6-10) with auditory processing problems completed the Staggered Spondaic Words (SSW) Test and a battery of auditory-language tests. No significant correlations were found between the SSW right competing and left competing conditions and the auditory-language tests, suggesting that these two approaches measure different…

A technique for evaluating children's auditory-language processing abilities was developed. Teachers were trained in inservice workshops to identify auditory-language processing problems, using the Observational Profile of Classroom Communication. They subsequently referred 46 nonhandicapped first-, second-, and third-graders for evaluation, which…
