Seongsil Lee; Yasmeen Faroqi-Shah – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The present meta-analysis investigated the efficacy of anomia treatment in bilingual and multilingual persons with aphasia (BPWAs) by assessing the magnitudes of six anomia treatment outcomes. Three of the treatment outcomes pertained to the "trained language": improvement of trained words (treatment effect [TE]),…

Braun, Emily J.; Kiran, Swathi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The impact of stimulus-level psycholinguistic variables and personlevel semantic and phonological processing skills on treatment outcomes in individuals with aphasia requires further examination to inform clinical decision making in treatment prescription and stimuli selection. This study investigated the influence of stimulus-level…

Jin Wang; Marc F. Joanisse; James R. Booth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: It is often assumed that phonological awareness only reflects children's phonological skill. However, orthographic representations have been found to be automatically involved during phonological awareness tasks, which we refer to as automatic orthographic activation. Although previous longitudinal neural studies have addressed how…

Cheung, Rachael W.; Hartley, Calum; Monaghan, Padraic – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify variability in word-learning mechanisms used by late-talking children using a longitudinal study design, which may explain variability in late-talking children's outcomes. Method: A cohort of typically developing children (n = 40) and children who were classified as late-talking children at age 2;0…

Petit, Selene; Badcock, Nicholas A.; Grootswagers, Tijl; Rich, Anina N.; Brock, Jon; Nickels, Lyndsey; Moerel, Denise; Dermody, Nadene; Yau, Shu; Schmidt, Elaine; Woolgar, Alexandra – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: We aimed to develop a noninvasive neural test of language comprehension to use with nonspeaking children for whom standard behavioral testing is unreliable (e.g., minimally verbal autism). Our aims were threefold. First, we sought to establish the sensitivity of two auditory paradigms to elicit neural responses in individual neurotypical…

Faroqi-Shah, Yasmeen; Gehman, Megan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: When speakers retrieve words, they do so extremely quickly and accurately--both speed and accuracy of word retrieval are compromised in persons with aphasia (PWA). This study examined the contribution of two domain-general mechanisms: processing speed and cognitive control on word retrieval in PWA. Method: Three groups of participants,…

McAllister, Tara; Eads, Amanda; Kabakoff, Heather; Scott, Marc; Boyce, Suzanne; Whalen, D. H.; Preston, Jonathan L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to identify predictors of response to treatment for residual speech sound disorder (RSSD) affecting English rhotics. Progress was tracked during an initial phase of traditional motor-based treatment and a longer phase of treatment incorporating ultrasound biofeedback. Based on previous literature, we focused on baseline…

Wong, Wing Sze Winsy; Law, Sam Po – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the relationship between nonverbal cognitive functions and language processing of people with aphasia (PWA) by taking a data-driven approach, as well as multiple cognitive components and multilevel linguistic perspectives. It is hypothesized that language performance is differentially associated with…

Park, Jisook; Miller, Carol A.; Mainela-Arnold, Elina – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: This study investigated the relative utility of linguistic and nonlinguistic processing speed tasks as predictors of language impairment (LI) in children across 2 time points. Method: Linguistic and nonlinguistic reaction time data, obtained from 131 children (89 children with typical development [TD] and 42 children with LI; 74 boys and…

Mainela-Arnold, Elina; Evans, Julia L.; Coady, Jeffry A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2010
Purpose: In this study, the authors investigated potential explanations for sparse lexical-semantic representations in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing peers. The role of auditory perception, phonological working memory, and lexical competition were investigated. Method: Participants included 32 children…
