Integrating Articulatory Constraints into Models of Second Language Phonological Acquisition
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Colantoni, Laura; Steele, Jeffrey – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2008
Models such as Eckman's markedness differential hypothesis, Flege's speech learning model, and Brown's feature-based theory of perception seek to explain and predict the relative difficulty second language (L2) learners face when acquiring new or similar sounds. In this paper, we test their predictive adequacy as concerns native English speakers'…

An Investigation of Eye Movement Patterns in Relation to Cognitive Mapping Style.
Lindeman, Mary L. – 1981
A study was conducted to determine the degree of relationship between eye movement patterns and cognitive mapping as determined by the Cognitive Style Mapping Instrument (CSMI). It was hypothesized that a high correlation exists between a predominance of visual and auditory eye movement patterns and the visual and auditory cognitive mapping styles…

Modality Preference and Word Learning: The Predictive Ability of the Swassing-Barbe Modality Index and the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kampwirth, Thomas J.; MacKenzie, Karen – Educational Research Quarterly, 1989
The relationship between modality styles and reading achievement was studied for 51 first graders given 2 subtests of the Swassing-Barbe Modality Index, 2 subtests of the Illinois Test of Psycholinguistic Abilities, and 2 tests of nonsense words. There was no significant interaction between modality preference and reading achievement. (SLD)

Olson, Arthur V.; Rosen, Carl L. – 1971
The technique of factor analysis was used to explore the structure of five batteries of readiness tests (Gates Reading Readiness Test, Developmental Tests of Visual Perception, Metropolitan Readiness Tests, Specially Constructed Readiness Test by Olson, and Wechsler Intelligence for Children) as predictor variables for the Stanford Achievement…

Acoustic and Perceptual Analysis of Word-Initial Stop Consonants in Phonologically Disordered Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Forrest, Karen; Rockman, Barbara K. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1988
Spectrographic measures of voice onset time (VOT) were made for three phonologically disordered children with an emerging voicing contrast. These measures were related to adult listeners' perception of voicing of the initial stop consonant. Results showed that VOT's utility for predicting perceived voicing was not high. (Author/JDD)

An Analysis of Auditory Attending Skills.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Van Camp, Sarah S. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1980
To better identify the auditory strengths of elementary school children, a test was developed using a pure tone approach with sets of signals. (SBH)

The Relationship of Sound Blending to Reading Achievement
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Richardson, Ellis; And Others – Review of Educational Research, 1977
This review examines the literature on auditory skills for evidence regarding the relationship of the sound blending skill and reading achievement. Factors that might affect this relationship are discussed. (Author/MV)

The Predictive Validity of the Test of Auditory Perception
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Schmidt, Carl R.; And Others – Educational and Psychological Measurement, 1975
The Lorge-Thorndike Test of Cognitive Abilities (LTTCA), the Test of Auditory Perception (TAP), and the Metropolitan Achievement Test (MAT), were administered to second grade students. Statistical analysis revealed performance on TAP subtests was significantly correlated with most MAT subtest scores, especially the phonically-oriented MAT Word…

The Predictive Validity of the Phelps Kindergarten Readiness Scale
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Augustyniak, Kristine M.; Cook-Cottone, Catherine P.; Calabrese, Nancy – Psychology in the Schools, 2004
This study assesses the predictive validity of the Phelps Kindergarten Readiness Scale (PKRS) for later academic achievement and explores the utility of a domain-specific measure of kindergarten readiness. Kindergarten readiness scores were significantly correlated with both math and language arts achievement as measured by New York State…
