The relationship between each of seven predictor variables and the relative degree to which 84 normal and hearing-impaired children used audition or vision in their perception of word stimuli were investigated. It was concluded that the relative use of audition was almost completely related to their auditory capabilities. (Author/CL)

Vowels were presented through auditory, visual, and auditory-visual modalities to 18 hearing impaired children (12 to 15 years old) having good, intermediate, and poor auditory word recognition skills. All the groups had difficulty with acoustic information and visual information alone. The first two groups had only moderate difficulty identifying…

Dichotic stop-consonant-vowel identification was investigated in two experiments using two groups of learning-disabled children, demonstrating clinical manifestations of auditory-processing disorders, and two groups of matched, control Ss (eight to ten years old). (Author)

In studies with 22 normal hearing adults and two hearing impaired children (12-13 years old), speech was presented under different degrees of optical distortion. (CL)

The Australian study investigated the effect of cued speech on the speech reception abilities of 18 profoundly hearing impaired children under seven conditions of presentation: audition; lipreading; audition and lipreading; cues; audition and cues; lipreading and cues; and audition, lipreading, and cues.
