Campbell, Julia; Rouse, Rixon; Nielsen, Mashhood; Potter, Sheri – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study investigated whether sensory inhibition in children may be associated with speech perception-in-noise performance. Additionally, gating networks associated with sensory inhibition were identified via standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography (sLORETA), and the detectability of the cortical auditory evoked…

Feng, Shuyuan; Lu, Haoyang; Fang, Jing; Li, Xue; Yi, Li; Chen, Lihan – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2023
Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have deficits in audiovisual speech perception and temporal processing. The current study has examined the relationship between the audiovisual speech perception deficits and temporal processing deficits in children with and without ASD. To this end, using the McGurk paradigm, we implemented two…

Stephanie Hearnshaw; Elise Baker; Ron Pomper; Karla K. McGregor; Jan Edwards; Natalie Munro – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2024
Background: Children with phonological impairment present with pattern-based errors in their speech production. While some children have difficulties with speech perception and/or the establishment of robust underlying phonological representations, the nature of phonological impairment in children is still not well understood. Given that…

Marimon, Mireia; Höhle, Barbara – Infant and Child Development, 2022
The Headturn Preference Procedure (HPP) is widely used in infant research. Previous studies have shown that speech perception measures obtained with HPP are related to later language skills which may make them a potential instrument for an early detection of developmental language risks. The present study assessed the reliability and stability of…

Kessler, David M.; Wolfe, Jace; Blanchard, Michelle; Gifford, René H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between speech recognition benefit derived from the addition of a hearing aid (HA) to the nonimplanted ear (i.e., bimodal benefit) and spectral modulation detection (SMD) performance in the nonimplanted ear in a large clinical sample. An additional purpose was to investigate…

Erin S. M. Matsuba; Beth A. Prieve; Emily Cary; Devon Pacheco; Angela Madrid; Elizabeth McKernan; Elizabeth Kaplan-Kahn; Natalie Russo – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
This study characterizes the subcortical auditory brainstem response (speech-ABR) and cortical auditory processing (P1 and Mismatch Negativity; MMN) to speech sounds and their relationship to autistic traits and sensory features within the same group of autistic children (n = 10) matched on age and non-verbal IQ to their typically developing (TD)…

Kligler, Nitzan; Yu, Chen; Gabay, Yafit – Cognitive Science, 2023
Although statistical learning (SL) has been studied extensively in developmental dyslexia (DD), less attention has been paid to other fundamental challenges in language acquisition, such as cross-situational word learning. Such investigation is important for determining whether and how SL processes are affected in DD at the word level. In this…

Ramos, Jorge E.; Shea, Christine – Hispania, 2023
In this study we show that the perception of lateral variants by Puerto Rican listeners changes according to who the listener believes is speaking. Puerto Rican listeners heard sentences with target words featuring either rhotic [voiced alveolar tap or flap] or lateral [l] (amo[voiced alveolar tap or flap] -- amo[l]) codas, a sociophonetic…

Suzuki, Shungo; Kormos, Judit; Uchihara, Takumi – Modern Language Journal, 2021
Listener-based judgements of fluency play an important role in second language (L2) communication contexts and in L2 assessment. Accordingly, our meta-analysis examined the relationship between different aspects of utterance fluency and listener-based judgements of perceived fluency by analyzing primary studies reporting correlation coefficients…

Aalto, Eija; Saaristo-Helin, Katri; Stolt, Suvi – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Background noise challenges auditory recognition of speech and may reveal the underlying deficits in auditory word recognition skills. Previous studies have reported an association between children's auditory skills and various linguistic skills, including phonology, although in some languages only. However, language-specific features influence…

Lee Tecoulesco – ProQuest LLC, 2022
Previous research has shown a relationship between robust neural encoding of speech by the auditory brainstem and children's phonological abilities. Two areas of brainstem encoding this work has included are the ABR dimensions of consistency, or how similar responses are to a repeated stimulus, and differentiation, or the degree to which responses…

Gökay, Nuriye Yildirim; Gündüz, Bülent; Söke, Fatih; Karamert, Recep – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The effects of neurological diseases on the auditory system have been a notable issue for investigators because the auditory pathway is closely associated with neural systems. The purposes of this study are to evaluate the efferent auditory system function and hearing quality in Parkinson's disease (PD) and to compare the findings with…

Georgios P. Georgiou; Aretousa Giannakou – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2024
Although extensive research has focused on the perceptual abilities of second language (L2) learners, a significant gap persists in understanding how cognitive functions like phonological short-term memory (PSTM) and nonverbal intelligence (IQ) impact L2 speech perception. This study sets out to investigate the discrimination of L2 English…

Guan, Jingjing; Liu, Chang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Degraded speech intelligibility in background noise is a common complaint of listeners with hearing loss. The purpose of the current study is to explore whether 2nd formant (F2) enhancement improves speech perception in noise for older listeners with hearing impairment (HI) and normal hearing (NH). Method: Target words (e.g., color and…

Toya, Teruki; Birkholz, Peter; Unoki, Masashi – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Psychoacoustical studies on transmission characteristics related to bone-conducted (BC) speech, perceived by speakers during vocalization, are important for further understanding the relationship between speech production and perception, especially auditory feedback. For exploring how the outer ear part contributes to BC speech…
