Verbal Working Memory Error Patterns and Speech-Language Outcomes in Youth with Cochlear Implants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Romano, Daniel R.; Kronenberger, William G.; Henning, Shirley C.; Montgomery, Caitlin J.; Ditmars, Allison M.; Johnson, Courtney A.; Bozell, Hannah D.; Yates, Adeline D.; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Verbal working memory (VWM) delays are commonly found in prelingually deaf youth with cochlear implants (CIs), albeit with considerable interindividual variability. However, little is known about the neurocognitive information-processing mechanisms underlying these delays and how these mechanisms relate to spoken language outcomes. The…

The Role of Cognition on Navigational Skills of Children and Adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Robillard, Manon; Roy-Charland, Annie; Cazabon, Sylvie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study examined the role of cognition on the navigational process of a speech-generating device (SGD) among individuals with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The objective was to investigate the role of various cognitive factors (i.e., cognitive flexibility, sustained attention, categorization, fluid reasoning, and…

Pitch Discrimination and Melodic Memory in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Stanutz, Sandy; Wapnick, Joel; Burack, Jacob A. – Autism: The International Journal of Research and Practice, 2014
Background: Pitch perception is enhanced among persons with autism. We extended this finding to memory for pitch and melody among school-aged children. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate pitch memory in musically untrained children with autism spectrum disorders, aged 7-13 years, and to compare it to that of age- and…

Rapid Naming by Children with and without Specific Language Impairment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Coady, Jeffry A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2013
Purpose: Previous studies have reported that children with specific language impairment (SLI) name pictures more slowly than do chronological age-matched (CAM) peers. Rapid naming depends on 2 factors known to be problematic for children with SLI--lexical retrieval and nonlinguistic speed of processing. Although all studies implicate a…

Phonological and Lexical Effects in Verbal Recall by Children with Specific Language Impairments
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Coady, Jeffry A.; Mainela-Arnold, Elina; Evans, Julia L. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2013
Background & Aims: The present study examined how phonological and lexical knowledge influences memory in children with specific language impairments (SLI). Previous work showed recall advantages for typical adults and children due to word frequency and phonotactic pattern frequency and a recall disadvantage due to phonological similarity…

Time Processing in Children with Tourette's Syndrome
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Vicario, Carmelo Mario; Martino, Davide; Spata, Felice; Defazio, Giovanni; Giacche, Roberta; Martino, Vito; Rappo, Gaetano; Pepi, Anna Maria; Silvestri, Paola Rosaria; Cardona, Francesco – Brain and Cognition, 2010
Background: Tourette syndrome (TS) is characterized by dysfunctional connectivity between prefrontal cortex and sub-cortical structures, and altered meso-cortical and/or meso-striatal dopamine release. Since time processing is also regulated by fronto-striatal circuits and modulated by dopaminergic transmission, we hypothesized that time…
