Bharadwaj, Sneha V.; Assmann, Peter F. – Volta Review, 2013
The objective of this study was to investigate the perceptual relevance of acoustic differences in vowels produced by 6 children between the ages of 9-13 years old with unilateral cochlear implants. Formant frequencies were estimated for 12 repetitions of vowels /hid/, /hed/, /haed/, /hud/, /hUd/, and /hAd/ produced by the children. The estimated…

Warner-Czyz, Andrea D.; Davis, Barbara L.; MacNeilage, Peter F. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2010
Purpose: Attaining speech accuracy requires that children perceive and attach meanings to vocal output on the basis of production system capacities. Because auditory perception underlies speech accuracy, profiles for children with hearing loss (HL) differ from those of children with normal hearing (NH). Method: To understand the impact of auditory…

Phonology, Decoding, and Lexical Compensation in Vowel Spelling Errors Made by Children with Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Bernstein, Stuart E. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2009
A descriptive study of vowel spelling errors made by children first diagnosed with dyslexia (n = 79) revealed that phonological errors, such as "bet" for "bat", outnumbered orthographic errors, such as "bate" for "bait". These errors were more frequent in nonwords than words, suggesting that lexical context helps with vowel spelling. In a second…

Niemi, Jussi; And Others – 1985
Analysis of the phonological patterns of two physically normal boys, aged 5 and 8 years, with fragile X syndrome, an X-chromosomal abnormality usually connected with severe to moderate mental retardation, found language features similar to those found in other studies of fragile X speech. Some of these language features are: repetition of initial…

Gupta, Ashum – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2004
The current research is an examination of the nature of reading difficulties in dyslexic readers of Hindi. The reading performance of children with dyslexia was compared with that of reading-age (RA) and chronological-age (CA) matched controls on word and non word reading of items of different length. The results showed that the dyslexic children…
