Four developmentally disordered, speech deficient children (11-16 years old), who were being taught sign language as an alternative to speech, were taught to use manual signs as mediators in a delayed auditory-picture matching-to-sample task. (Author/CL)

Demonstrates that both male and female neonates habituate and dishabituate to repeated and novel speech sounds. Results of a head-turning sound-localization task with 24 full-term neonates showed two basic processes: spatial orientation to sounds and response decrement to repeated speech sounds followed by response increment to novel speech…

This study investigated vowel discrimination in 8-week-old infants. Using a nonnutritive, high-amplitude sucking measure in a habituation-dishabituation paradigm. (Author/SB)

Examines auditory speech discrimination under the conditions of normal, inverted, and postinverted vision. Its intention was also to further study the generality of the effects of inversion-induced conflict. (Author/RK)

Attempts to provide a clear demonstration that selective attention to self can be determined by the degree to which feedback tends to provide positive or negative discrepancies. (Author/RK)

Examines the use of sound in the original novel and in the filmed version of "Madame Bovary," also showing how closely Flaubert's techniques parallel those of the cinema. (RB)

Exact analysis of an experiment involving children from the ages of 4 to 12 learning three new articulations revealed that most of the articulation learning took place on the second attempt with relatively moderate improvement in subsequent trials, thus placing the value of repetition in articulation learning in question. (FB)

Examined is the problem of measuring an individual's auditory response which includes a reluctance to use sound due to the feedback deficit produced by an inefficient pathway. (KW)

Investigated were attention and performance on simple tasks as well as classroom attention of seriously disturbed, communication impaired, autistic children under conditions of reduced auditory input (using ear protectors). (Author)

Equal CA educable mentally retarded and nonretarded adolescents stylus tracked an intermittently disappearing rotary pursuit target with no feedback, auditory feedback, and visual feedback. (Author)
