Intraoral Air Pressure of Alaryngeal Speakers during a No-Air Insufflation Maneuver.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gorham, Mary M.; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996
Intraoral air pressure was recorded during the production of consonant cognate pairs by 8 esophageal speakers (mean age 67 years) under 2 experimental conditions: after the insufflation of air and without air insufflation. Results revealed that peak intraoral air pressure magnitudes were significantly greater following the insufflation of air than…

Beyond the Basics I: The Need for Strategic Sampling for In-Depth Phonological Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bernhardt, Barbara Handford; Holdgrafer, Gary – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
Discussion of speech sampling in the assessment of children with phonological disorders focuses on the use of nonlinear phonological analysis, a method whereby multiple aspects or levels of a child's phonological system are examined. Principles and suggestions offer general guidance for adequate sample elicitation. (Contains references.)…

Characterizing Knowledge Deficits in Phonological Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Edwards, Jan; Fourakis, Marios; Beckman, Mary E.; Fox, Robert A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1999
This study investigated two aspects of non-symbolic phonological knowledge (knowledge of the acoustic/perceptual space and of the articulatory/production space) in six preschool-age children with phonological disorders and six typically developing age peers. Results suggest that phonological knowledge is multifaceted, and that seemingly…

Intonation and Speech Rate in Dysarthric Speech.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Le Dorze, Guylaine; And Others – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1994
Ten adults with dysarthria of various etiologies, type, and severity were compared to age-matched and gender-matched nondysarthric speakers on 40 short sentences. Results indicated reduced intonation values for the dysarthric group and varying rates as a function of subject group and sentence type. Results suggest that dysarthria is a deficit in…

Otitis Media and Disordered Phonologies: Some Concerns and Cautions.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Paden, Elaine Pagel – Topics in Language Disorders, 1994
This article reviews problems faced by researchers in the association between otitis media with effusion and phonological impairment and then summarizes currently established findings concerning otitis media and its effects on phonological acquisition. Professionals are cautioned to neither ignore nor exaggerate the possible influence of otitis…

Electropalatography in the Treatment of Articulation-Phonological Disorders.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Dagenais, Paul A. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1995
Treatment of articulation/phonological disorders with electropalatography (in which speech learners wear a custom-made appliance called a pseudopalate in order to view their tongue-to-palate contacts on a computer monitor) is described. Studies of the treatment's effectiveness with children having articulation or phonological disorders are…
