Keshavarzi, Mahmoud; Di Liberto, Giovanni M.; Gabrielczyk, Fiona; Wilson, Angela; Macfarlane, Annabel; Goswami, Usha – Developmental Science, 2024
The prevalent "core phonological deficit" model of dyslexia proposes that the reading and spelling difficulties characterizing affected children stem from prior developmental difficulties in processing speech sound structure, for example, perceiving and identifying syllable stress patterns, syllables, rhymes and phonemes. Yet spoken word…

Janina Bocher – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Speech exhibits quasi-rhythmic regularities at multiple timescales, which seem to be crucial to comprehension. Both children's ability to extract rhythm from complex stimuli and to produce rhythmic patterns are known to undergo changes from infancy to adulthood. However, it remains unclear what rhythm skills specifically related to speech look…

Lisa D. Bunker; Dallin J. Bailey; Elaine Poss; Shannon Mauszycki; Julie L. Wambaugh – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Neurogenic speech and language disorders--such as acquired apraxia of speech (AOS) and aphasia with phonemic paraphasia (APP)--are often misdiagnosed due to similarities in clinical presentation. Word syllable duration (WSD)--a measure of average syllable length in multisyllabic words--serves as a proxy for speech rate, which is an…

Langus, Alan; Boll-Avetisyan, Natalie; van Ommen, Sandrien; Nazzi, Thierry – Developmental Science, 2023
Rhythm perception helps young infants find structure in both speech and music. However, it remains unknown whether categorical perception of suprasegmental linguistic rhythm signaled by a co-variation of multiple acoustic cues can be modulated by prior between- (music) and within-domain (language) experience. Here we tested 6-month-old…

Erdemir, Aysu; Walden, Tedra A.; Tilsen, Sam; Mefferd, Antje S.; Jones, Robin M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this study was twofold: (1) to determine whether there are speech rhythm differences between preschool-age children who stutter that were eventually diagnosed as persisting (CWS-Per) or recovered (CWS-Rec) and children who do not stutter (CWNS), using empirical spectral analysis and empirical mode decomposition of the…

Simone Gastaldon; Pierpaolo Busan; Nicola Molinaro; Mikel Lizarazu – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate cortical tracking of speech (CTS) in adults who stutter (AWS) compared to typically fluent adults (TFAs) to test the involvement of the speech-motor network in tracking rhythmic speech information. Method: Participants' electroencephalogram was recorded while they simply listened to sentences…

Ying Qian Ong; Jaehoon Lee; Shin Ying Chu; Siaw Chui Chai; Kok Beng Gan; Norlinah Mohamed Ibrahim; Steven M. Barlow – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Parkinson's disease (PD) has an impact on speech production, manifesting in various ways including alterations in voice quality, challenges in articulating sounds and a decrease in speech rate. Numerous investigations have been conducted to ascertain the oral-diadochokinesis (O-DDK) rate in individuals with PD. However, the existing…

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the speech prosody of postlingually deaf cochlear implant (CI) users compared with control speakers without hearing or speech impairment. Method: Speech recordings of 74 CI users (37 males and 37 females) and 72 age-balanced control speakers (36 males and 36 females) are considered. All…

Patel, Shivani P.; Nayar, Kritika; Martin, Gary E.; Franich, Kathryn; Crawford, Stephanie; Diehl, Joshua J.; Losh, Molly – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined prosody through characterization of acoustic properties of the speech of individuals with ASD and their parents, during narration. A subset of utterances were low-pass filtered and rated for differences in intonation, speech rate, and rhythm. Listener ratings were minimally related to acoustic measures, underscoring the…

Johnson, Eric M.; Morgan, Shae D.; Ferguson, Sarah Hargus – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This preliminary investigation compared effects of time compression on intelligibility for male versus female talkers. We hypothesized that time compression would have a greater effect for female talkers. Method: Sentence materials from four talkers (two males) were time compressed, and original-speed and time-compressed speech materials…

Mehdi Bakhtiar; Tegan Wai Yee Yeung; Angela Choi – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Stuttering, a neurodevelopmental speech fluency disorder, is associated with intermittent disruptions of speech-motor control. Behavioural treatments for adults who stutter (AWS) concentrate on adopting speech patterns that enhance fluency, such as speaking rhythmically or prolonging speech sounds. However, maintaining these treatment…

Ghazi Algethami; Sam Hellmuth – Second Language Research, 2024
Rhythm metrics can detect second language development of target-like speech rhythm but interpretation of the results from metrics in learners' speech is problematic because the mapping of metrics to underpinning phonological features is indirect. We investigate speech rhythm in first language (L1) Arabic / second language (L2) English, which…

It is known that the rhythms of speech are visible on the face, accurately mirroring changes in the vocal tract. These low-frequency visual temporal movements are tightly correlated with speech output, and both visual speech (e.g., mouth motion) and the acoustic speech amplitude envelope entrain neural oscillations. Low-frequency visual temporal…

Regular Rhythmic Primes Improve Sentence Repetition in Children with Developmental Language Disorder
Anna Fiveash; Eniko Ladányi; Julie Camici; Karen Chidiac; Catherine T. Bush; Laure-Hélène Canette; Nathalie Bedoin; Reyna L. Gordon; Barbara Tillmann – npj Science of Learning, 2023
Recently reported links between rhythm and grammar processing have opened new perspectives for using rhythm in clinical interventions for children with developmental language disorder (DLD). Previous research using the rhythmic priming paradigm has shown improved performance on language tasks after regular rhythmic primes compared to control…

Nehyba, Jan; Juhanák, Libor; Cigán, Jakub – Journal of Experimental Education, 2023
In the conducted field experiment, we explore the intensity of university students' interaction related to the seating arrangement (circle or rows) in pre-service teachers' groups during the reflective practice. We also probe the differences across the various fields of study and evaluate the facilitator's influence on the interaction. We use…
