Enhanced Sensitivity to Pitch Perception and Its Possible Relation to Language Acquisition in Autism
Megumi Hisaizumi; Digby Tantam – Autism & Developmental Language Impairments, 2024
Background and aims: Fascinations for or aversions to particular sounds are a familiar feature of autism, as is an ability to reproduce another person's utterances, precisely copying the other person's prosody as well as their words. Such observations seem to indicate not only that autistic people can pay close attention to what they hear, but…

Shao, Yujie; Saito, Kazuya; Tierney, Adam – TESOL Quarterly: A Journal for Teachers of English to Speakers of Other Languages and of Standard English as a Second Dialect, 2023
Growing evidence suggests that auditory processing ability may be a crucial determinant of language learning, including adult second language (L2) speech learning. The current study tested 47 Chinese English-as-a-Foreign-Language students to examine the extent to which two types of auditory processing, i.e., perceptual acuity and audio-motor…

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…

Werff, Kathy R. Vander; Niemczak, Christopher E.; Morse, Kenneth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Background noise has been categorized as energetic masking due to spectrotemporal overlap of the target and masker on the auditory periphery or informational masking due to cognitive-level interference from relevant content such as speech. The effects of masking on cortical and sensory auditory processing can be objectively studied with…

Barrios, Shannon L.; Rodriguez, Joselyn M.; Barriuso, Taylor Anne – Second Language Research, 2023
Adult learners acquire second language (L2) allophones with experience. We examine two mechanisms which may support the acquisition of allophonic variants in second language acquisition. One of the mechanisms is based on the distribution of phones with respect to their phonological context (i.e. phonological distribution). The other is based on…

Winn, Matthew B.; Teece, Katherine H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Speech recognition percent correct scores fail to capture the effort of mentally repairing the perception of speech that was initially misheard. This study measured the effort of listening to stimuli specifically designed to elicit mental repair in adults who use cochlear implants (CIs). Method: CI listeners heard and repeated sentences…

Schwab, Juliane; Liu, Mingya; Mueller, Jutta L. – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2021
Existing work on the acquisition of polarity-sensitive expressions (PSIs) suggests that children show an early sensitivity to the restricted distribution of negative polarity items (NPIs), but may be delayed in the acquisition of positive polarity items (PPIs). However, past studies primarily targeted PSIs that are highly frequent in children's…

Devaraju, Dhatri S.; Kemp, Amy; Eddins, David A.; Shrivastav, Rahul; Chandrasekaran, Bharath; Wray, Amanda Hampton – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Listeners shift their listening strategies between lower level acoustic information and higher level semantic information to prioritize maximum speech intelligibility in challenging listening conditions. Although increasing task demands via acoustic degradation modulates lexical-semantic processing, the neural mechanisms underlying…

Lacey, Simon; Jamal, Yaseen; List, Sara M.; McCormick, Kelly; Sathian, K.; Nygaard, Lynne C. – Cognitive Science, 2020
Sound symbolism refers to non-arbitrary mappings between the sounds of words and their meanings and is often studied by pairing auditory pseudowords such as "maluma" and "takete" with rounded and pointed visual shapes, respectively. However, it is unclear what auditory properties of pseudowords contribute to their perception as…

Irwin, Julia; Avery, Trey; Kleinman, Daniel; Landi, Nicole – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2022
Children with autism spectrum disorders have been reported to be less influenced by a speaker's face during speech perception than those with typically development. To more closely examine these reported differences, a novel visual phonemic restoration paradigm was used to assess neural signatures (event-related potentials [ERPs]) of audiovisual…

Conwell, Erin; Pichardo, Felix; Horvath, Gregor; Lopez, Amanda – Language Learning and Development, 2022
Children's ability to learn words with multiple meanings may be hindered by their adherence to a one-to-one form-to-meaning mapping bias. Previous research on children's learning of a novel meaning for a familiar word (sometimes called a "pseudohomophone") has yielded mixed results, suggesting a range of factors that may impact when…

Von Holzen, Katie; van Ommen, Sandrien; White, Katherine S.; Nazzi, Thierry – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Successful word recognition requires that listeners attend to differences that are phonemic in the language while also remaining flexible to the variation introduced by different voices and accents. Previous work has demonstrated that American-English-learning 19-month-olds are able to balance these demands: although one-off one-feature…

Rabab'ah, Ghaleb; Kessar, Sara; Abusalim, Nimer – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2023
The prominent role of allophonic cues in English speech segmentation has widely been recognized by phonologists and psycholinguists. However, very meager inquiry was devoted to analysing the perception of these noncontrastive allophonic cues by Arab EFL learners. Accordingly, the present study is an attempt to examine the exploitation of…

Basirat, Anahita; Brunellière, Angèle; Hartsuiker, Robert – Language Learning, 2018
Numerous studies suggest that audiovisual speech influences lexical processing. However, it is not clear which stages of lexical processing are modulated by audiovisual speech. In this study, we examined the time course of the access to word representations in long-term memory when they were presented in auditory-only and audiovisual modalities.…

Cai, Xirui; Lian, Andrew; Puakpong, Nattaya; Shi, Yaoping; Chen, Haoqiang; Zeng, Yizhen; Ou, Jibing; Zheng, Wei; Mo, Yin – Asian-Pacific Journal of Second and Foreign Language Education, 2021
The quality of the physical language signals to which learners are exposed and which result in neurobiological activity leading to perception constitutes a variable that is rarely, if ever, considered in the context of language learning. It deserves some attention. The current study identifies an optimal audio language input signal for Chinese…
