Stephanie A. Borrie; Taylor J. Hepworth; Camille J. Wynn; Katherine C. Hustad; Tyson S. Barrett; Kaitlin L. Lansford – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: As evidenced by perceptual learning studies involving adult listeners and speakers with dysarthria, adaptation to dysarthric speech is driven by signal predictability (speaker property) and a flexible speech perception system (listener property). Here, we extend adaptation investigations to adolescent populations and examine whether adult…

Bowdrie, Kristina; Holt, Rachael Frush; Houston, Derek M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to examine the influence of caregivers' reports of family-related environmental confusion--which refers to the level of overstimulation in the family home environment due to auditory and nonauditory (i.e., visual and cognitive) noise--on the relation between child temperament and spoken language outcomes in…

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…

MacCutcheon, Douglas; Pausch, Florian; Füllgrabe, Christian; Eccles, Renata; van der Linde, Jeannie; Panebianco, Clorinda; Fels, Janina; Ljung, Robert – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Working memory capacity and language ability modulate speech reception; however, the respective roles of peripheral and cognitive processing are unclear. The contribution of individual differences in these abilities to utilization of spatial cues when separating speech from informational and energetic masking backgrounds in children has…

Werfel, Krystal L.; Schuele, C. Melanie – Volta Review, 2014
The purpose of this exploratory study was to evaluate the functional relation between initial sound awareness instruction and increased initial sound segmentation skill in children with hearing loss. Two preschool children with hearing loss participated in this multiple probe design single subject study. The children participated individually in…

Smeets, Daisy J. H.; van Dijken, Marianne J.; Bus, Adriana G. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
Novel word learning is reported to be problematic for children with severe language impairments (SLI). In this study, we tested electronic storybooks as a tool to support vocabulary acquisition in SLI children. In Experiment 1, 29 kindergarten SLI children heard four e-books each four times: (a) two stories were presented as video books with…
