Yi Weng; Yicheng Rong; Gang Peng – Child Development, 2024
The developmental trajectory of audiovisual speech perception in Mandarin-speaking children remains understudied. This cross-sectional study in Mandarin-speaking 3- to 4-year-old, 5- to 6-year-old, 7- to 8-year-old children, and adults from Xiamen, China (n = 87, 44 males) investigated this issue using the McGurk paradigm with three levels of…

Feng, Yan; Peng, Gang; Wang, William Shi-Yuan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the different degeneration processes of categorical perception (CP) of Mandarin lexical tones in the normal aging population and the pathological aging population with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Method: In Experiment I, we compared the identification and discrimination of Tone 1 and Tone 2 across young…

Kazuya Saito – Language Teaching, 2023
In this paper, I first provide a brief review of how scholars have conceptualized, tested, and elaborated aptitude frameworks relevant to second language (L2) speech learning. Subsequently, I introduce an emerging paradigm that assigns a fundamental role to domain-general auditory processing (i.e., having a good ear) in L1 speech acquisition and…

Tilo Strobach; Julia Karbach – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2024
Previous studies demonstrated that dual-task impairments are higher in children than in young adults. A previous study systematically assessed the sources of these larger dual-task impairments by identifying age-related differences in capacity limitations during dual-task processing. Capacity limitations in central cognitive processes were present…

Ji, Hui; Yu, Xinyue; Xiao, Zhenglu; Zhu, Huiqin; Liu, Panting; Lin, Huanxi; Chen, Renjie; Hong, Qin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current status of cognitive development and central auditory processing development of preschool children with minimal and mild hearing loss (MMHL) in Nanjing, China. Method: We recruited 34 children with MMHL and 45 children with normal hearing (NH). They completed a series of tests, including…

Weiland, Ricarda F.; Polderman, Tinca J. C.; Smit, Dirk J. A.; Begeer, Sander; Van der Burg, Erik – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2023
To facilitate multisensory processing, the brain binds multisensory information when presented within a certain maximum time lag (temporal binding window). In addition, and in audiovisual perception specifically, the brain adapts rapidly to asynchronies within a single trial and shifts the point of subjective simultaneity. Both processes, temporal…

Liu, Ji-Sheng; Yu, Ya-Feng; Tao, Duo-Duo; Li, Yi; Ye, Fei; Galvin, John J.; Gopen, Quinton; Fu, Qian-Jie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: For colocated targets and maskers, binaural listening typically offers a small but significant advantage over monaural listening. This study investigated how monaural asymmetry and target--masker similarity may limit binaural advantage in adults and children. Method: Ten Mandarin-speaking Chinese adults (aged 22-27 years) and 12 children…

Wang, Li-Chih; Liu, Duo; Yum, Yen Na; Chung, Kevin Kien-Hoa; Chu, Szu-Yin; Tai, Pui Lun Alan; Xu, Zhengye; Kuo, Hsu-Chan; Chang, Chih-Ching – Journal for the Study of Education and Development, 2023
This study aims to compare auditory temporal processing and phonological processing across locations and age levels and to test the direct and indirect effects of auditory temporal and phonological processing on proficiency in Chinese character reading. We recruited 108 typically developing children -- 25 and 24 kindergarteners from Taiwan and…

Lo, L. Y.; Ng, T. C.; Lin, M.; Thompson, N. – International Journal of Developmental Science, 2019
Diversified emotional responses are generally referred as the evidence of showing categorical perception of major and minor modes. Yet it is uncertain whether the categorical performance is independent to the emotion tagging. This study therefore adopted a direct measure with the proper controlled stimuli to reexamine the categorial nature of…

Kate Slade; Robert Davies; Charlotte R. Pennington; Christopher J. Plack; Helen E. Nuttall – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: In March 2020, the U.K. government announced that people should isolate to reduce the spread of the virus that causes COVID-19. Outside a pandemic, psychosocial factors, such as socialization and mental health, may impact the relationship between hearing loss and increased dementia risk. We aim to report the impact of psychosocial…

Findlen, Ursula M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify common clinical practice patterns for providing advanced noise management features in children with cochlear implants (CIs) and evaluate trends in consideration of clinician experience and comfort with CI manufacturer-specific technology. Method: A mixed-model survey including quantitative and…

Skuk, Verena G.; Kirchen, Louisa; Oberhoffner, Tobias; Guntinas-Lichius, Orlando; Dobel, Christian; Schweinberger, Stefan R. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Using naturalistic synthesized speech, we determined the relative importance of acoustic cues in voice gender and age perception in cochlear implant (CI) users. Method: We investigated 28 CI users' abilities to utilize fundamental frequency (F0) and timbre in perceiving voice gender (Experiment 1) and vocal age (Experiment 2).…

Stenbäck, Victoria; Marsja, Erik; Hällgren, Mathias; Lyxell, Björn; Larsby, Birgitta – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The study aimed to investigate the relationship between speech recognition in noise, age, hearing ability, self-rated listening effort, inhibitory control (measured with the Swedish Hayling task), and working memory capacity (WMC; measured with the Reading Span test). Two different speech materials were used: the Hagerman test with low…

Zhang, Changxin; Li, Mingying; Yu, Jie; Liu, Chang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Depicting the development pattern of vowel perception for children with normal hearing (NH) and cochlear implants (CIs) would be useful for clinicians and school teachers to monitor children's auditory rehabilitation. The study was to investigate the development of Mandarin Chinese vowel perception for Mandarin Chinese native-speaking…

Chen, Fei; Zhang, Kaile; Guo, Qingqing; Lv, Jia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore when and how Mandarin-speaking children use contextual cues to normalize speech variability in perceiving lexical tones. Two different cognitive mechanisms underlying speech normalization (lower level acoustic normalization and higher level acoustic-phonemic normalization) were investigated through the…
