Kapsner-Smith, Mara R.; Díaz-Cádiz, Manuel E.; Vojtech, Jennifer M.; Buckley, Daniel P.; Mehta, Daryush D.; Hillman, Robert E.; Tracy, Lauren F.; Noordzij, J. Pieter; Eadie, Tanya L.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study examined the discriminative ability of acoustic indices of vocal hyperfunction combining smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS) and relative fundamental frequency (RFF). Method: Demographic, CPPS, and RFF parameters were entered into logistic regression models trained on two 1:1 case-control groups: individuals with and…

Kapsner-Smith, Mara R.; Opuszynski, Amanda; Stepp, Cara E.; Eadie, Tanya L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: The reliability of auditory-perceptual judgments between listeners is a long-standing problem in the assessment of voice disorders. The purpose of this study was to determine whether a relatively novel experimental scaling method, called visual sort and rate (VSR), yielded stronger reliability than the more frequently used method of…

Buckley, Daniel P.; Cadiz, Manuel Diaz; Eadie, Tanya L.; Stepp, Cara E. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: This study is a secondary analysis of existing data. The goal of the study was to construct an acoustic model of perceived overall severity of dysphonia in adductory laryngeal dystonia (AdLD). We predicted that acoustic measures (a) related to voice and pitch breaks and (b) related to vocal effort would form the primary elements of a…

Stepp, Cara E.; Sawin, Devon E.; Eadie, Tanya L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012
Purpose: In this study, the authors aimed to determine the relationship between relative fundamental frequency (RFF) and listener perception of vocal effort in individuals with varying degrees of vocal hyperfunction. Method: Thirty women diagnosed with voice disorders commonly associated with vocal hyperfunction and 10 healthy women provided…

Eadie, Tanya L.; Kapsner-Smith, Mara – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2011
Purpose: To determine the effect of auditory anchors on judgments of overall severity (OS) and vocal effort (VE) in dysphonic speech when judgments are made by experienced and inexperienced listeners, and when self-rated by individuals with dysphonia (speaker-listeners). Method: Twenty individuals with dysphonia and 4 normal controls provided…

Baylor, Carolyn R.; Yorkston, Kathryn M.; Eadie, Tanya L.; Miller, Robert M.; Amtmann, Dagmar – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2009
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to conduct the initial psychometric analyses of the Communicative Participation Item Bank--a new self-report instrument designed to measure the extent to which communication disorders interfere with communicative participation. This item bank is intended for community-dwelling adults across a range of…
