Katherine R. Gordon; Dawna Lewis; Stephanie Lowry; Maggie Smith; G. Christopher Stecker; Ryan W. McCreery – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2025
Purpose: Children with typical hearing and various language and cognitive challenges can struggle with processing speech in background noise. Thus, children with a language disorder (LD) are at risk for difficulty with speech recognition in poorer acoustic environments. Method: The current study compared the effects of background speech-shaped…

Seth Wiener; Timothy K. Murphy; Lori L. Holt – Language Learning, 2025
There is considerable lab-based evidence for successful incidental learning, in which a learner's attention is directed away from the to-be-learned stimulus and towards another stimulus. In this study, we extend incidental learning research into the language learning classroom. Three groups of adult second language (L2) learners (N = 52) engaged…

Shannon L. Edmed; M. Mamun Huda; Cassandra L. Pattinson; Kalina R. Rossa; Simon S. Smith – Health Education & Behavior, 2024
Background: Poor sleep can contribute to poorer health and socioemotional outcomes. Sleep health can be influenced by a range of individual and other socioecological factors. Perceptions of neighborhood physical and social characteristics reflect broader social-level factors that may influence sleep, which have not been well studied in the…

Idu Robert Egbenta; Ngozi Faith Elugwaraonu; Raphael I. Ndukwu; Andrew Egara Okosun – SAGE Open, 2024
Noise is sound of any kind that is undesirable and unwanted as part of the environment under consideration. It is one of the types of pollution that have great impact on our health and wellbeing. The occurrence of noise in our environment is increasing daily because of growing population and industrialization. Noise pollution have great…

Guanhao Zhao; Zhenya Huang; Yan Zhuang; Haoyang Bi; Yiyan Wang; Fei Wang; Zhiyuan Ma; Yixia Zhao – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2024
In recent years, lifelong learning has gained prominence, necessitating a continuous commitment from learners to enhance their skills and knowledge. During the lifelong learning process, it is essential to precisely assess the cognitive states of lifelong learners, as this will provide a learning report and further support subsequent learning…

Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon; Megan Jane Laverty – Educational Theory, 2024
In this article Sophie Haroutunian-Gordon and Megan Jane Laverty discuss Jean-Luc Nancy's conception of listening as presented in his seminal work, "À l'écoute." The authors argue that Nancy uses the term "listening" to refer to the experience of coming to an idea of sound(s) initially encountered as puzzling. They illustrate…

Kate Sandberg – ProQuest LLC, 2024
This dissertation examines the associations between pragmatic meaning categories in English and specific realizations of prosodic prominence. It has been well-established that in Mainstream American English (MAE), prominence is often used to convey contrast. A more limited set of studies suggests that prosodic prominence may also be capable of…

Purpose: The objective of the present study is to investigate nasal and oral vowel production in French-speaking children with cochlear implants (CIs) and children with typical hearing (TH). Vowel nasality relies primarily on acoustic cues that may be less effectively transmitted by the implant. The study investigates how children with CIs manage…

Sahana Srinivasan; Swapna Narayanan – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2025
Dysarthria is significantly prevalent in individuals with post-stroke etiology. Behavioral treatment remains the foundation of dysarthria treatment approaches. Clear speech is one recent compensatory treatment approach that has gained traction. The present study aimed to determine whether the 'Be Clear' treatment significantly improved speech…

Purpose: Measurement of swallowing muscle mass is important in determining sarcopenic dysphagia. Ultrasound equipment can measure the cross-sectional area of the swallowing muscles, but the inter-instrument reliability is unknown. In this study, the inter-instrument reliability was investigated. Methods: Three ultrasound devices were used to…

Patrick Dwyer; Svjetlana Vukusic; Zachary J. Williams; Clifford D. Saron; Susan M. Rivera – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Elevated "neural noise" has been advanced as an explanation of autism and autistic sensory experiences. However, functional neuroimaging measures of neural noise may be vulnerable to contamination by recording noise. This study explored variability of electrophysiological responses to tones of different intensities in 127 autistic and 79…

Rachel Tubi; Avivit Ben-David; Osnat Segal – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to explore the ability of Hebrew-speaking children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) to produce lexical stress. Method: A total of 36 children aged between 4 and 7 years, 18 children with CAS, and 18 typically developing (TD) children participated in the study. All children completed language and…

Yafit Gabay; Eva Reinisch; Dana Even; Nahal Binur; Bat-Sheva Hadad – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2024
Current theories of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) suggest atypical use of context in ASD, but little is known about how these atypicalities influence speech perception. We examined the influence of contextual information (lexical, spectral, and temporal) on phoneme categorization of people with ASD and in typically developed (TD) people. Across…

Alison Harmer – Music Education Research, 2024
Inspired by Graham Harman's philosophy of human access, and within the 'flattening ontology' of Object Oriented Ontology, Ring o' Roses is speculated about as a finite object with ontological independence from humans, repertoire, song, utility, and cultural context. Ring o' Roses playfully dances us through an introduction to OOO, and on to the…

Cardoso, Nathália Suellen Valeriano; Lucena, Jonia Alves; de Lira, Zulina Souza; de Vasconcelos, Silvio José; Lopes, Leonardo Wanderley; Gomes, Adriana de Oliveira Camargo – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the immediate effect on a singer's voice of a flexible silicone tube immersed in water combined with ascending and descending vocalise scales compared with ascending and descending vocalise scales alone. Method: A pre- and post-intervention quasi-experimental study was conducted. Thirty adult singers between 18…
