Davis, Barbara L.; Aoyama, Katsura; Cassidy, Rebekka – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Place and manner of articulation in American English-learning children's salient consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel (C[subscript 1]VC[subscript 2]V) target words (e.g., "baby," "bunny," and "cookie") were compared with their actual productions of these words. We hypothesized that target words with repeated place…

Fibla, Laia; Sebastian-Gales, Nuria; Cristia, Alejandrina – Journal of Child Language, 2022
Since there are no systematic pauses delimiting words in speech, the problem of word segmentation is formidable even for monolingual infants. We use computational modeling to assess whether word segmentation is substantially harder in a bilingual than a monolingual setting. Seven algorithms representing different cognitive approaches to…

Bassil Mashaqba; Farah Hadban – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study aims at investigating the phonological development of the six guttural consonants of Jordanian Arabic, /[chi]/, /[voiced uvular fricative]/, /[voiceless pharyngeal fricative]/, /[voiced pharyngeal fricative]/, /[glottal stop]/, and /h/. Method: An articulation test is designed to involve two tasks: picture naming and…

Helen L. Long; Katherine C. Hustad – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the vocal characteristics of children with cerebral palsy (CP) and anarthria using the stage model of vocal development. Method: Vocal characteristics of 39 children with CP and anarthria around 4 years of age were analyzed from laboratory-based caregiver--child interactions. Perceptual coding analysis was…

Zajac, David J.; Vallino, Linda D.; Baylis, Adriane L.; Adatorwovor, Reuben; Preisser, John S.; Vivaldi, Daniela – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study determined the time course of the emergence of prevocalic stop consonants in young children with cleft palate following surgical repair. Method: A total of 120 children in four cohorts from three institutions were followed from 12 to 24 months of age: (a) 24 with repaired cleft lip and palate (CLP), (b) 36 with repaired cleft…

Tibi, Sana; Edwards, Ashley A.; Kim, Young-Suk Grace; Schatschneider, Christopher; Boudelaa, Sami – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2022
Studies have suggested that multiple features influence letter knowledge across different orthographies. Arabic offers a unique opportunity to investigate the relations of letter properties on letter knowledge, but research on Arabic letter knowledge is scarce. This study was designed to investigate (a) letter frequency, (b) letter sequence, (c)…

McNeill, Brigid Catherine; Gillon, Gail; Gath, Megan – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: This study aimed to elucidate the nature of the relationship between the development of decoding and encoding skills in the first year at school. Method: The foundational literacy skills of one hundred eighty 5-year-old children were examined on three occasions over their first year of literacy instruction. Participants received the same…

Ainsworth, Steph; Welbourne, Stephen; Woollams, Anna; Hesketh, Anne – Language Learning, 2019
Current theories of phonological development make contrasting predictions about the role of vocabulary growth and orthographic knowledge in the emergence of segmental phonological representations. Testing these predictions in children is made difficult by the metacognitive nature of tasks used to assess phonological representations. In this study,…

Mahr, Tristan J.; Berisha, Visar; Kawabata, Kan; Liss, Julie; Hustad, Katherine C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Acoustic measurement of speech sounds requires first segmenting the speech signal into relevant units (words, phones, etc.). Manual segmentation is cumbersome and time consuming. Forced-alignment algorithms automate this process by aligning a transcript and a speech sample. We compared the phoneme-level alignment performance of five…

Zugarramurdi, Camila; Fernández, Lucía; Lallier, Marie; Valle-Lisboa, Juan Carlos; Carreiras, Manuel – Developmental Psychology, 2022
Reading acquisition is based on a set of preliteracy skills that lay the foundation for future reading abilities. Phonological awareness--the ability to identify and manipulate the sound units of oral language--has been reported to play a central role in reading acquisition. However, current evidence is mixed with respect to its universal…

Amoako, Wendy Kwakye; Stemberger, Joseph Paul – Journal of Child Language, 2021
This paper addresses how input variability in the adult phonological system is mastered in the output of young children in Akan, a Kwa language spoken in Ghana, involving variability between labio-palatalized consonants and front rounded vowels. The high-frequency variant involves a complex consonant which is expected to be mastered late, while…

Kim, Minjung; Kim, Soo-Jin; Stoel-Gammon, Carol – Communication Disorders Quarterly, 2021
This study investigates phonological characteristics of Korean monolingual children with phonological disorders (PD), using data from 13 children aged 3.6 to 5.9, and compares the analyses of single-word productions (SW) to those of conversational speech (CS). Phonological analyses include overall percentage of consonants correct (PCC), individual…

Malling, Anne Sofie Bøgh; Juul, Holger; Gejl, Anne Kaer; Damsgaard, Linn; Wienecke, Jacob; Nielsen, Anne-Mette Veber – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
In Denmark there is an ongoing trend towards a more ambitious literacy instruction in the first school year (Kindergarten). This calls for a clarification of present-day reading levels, and for a profile of the students who become readers while attending the semi-formal literacy program. The present study examined the extent to which a group of…

O'Keeffe, Breda V.; Bundock, Kaitlin; Kladis, Kristin; Nelson, Kat – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2023
Kindergarten reading screening measures typically identify many students as at risk who later meet criteria on important outcome measures (i.e., false positives). To address this issue, we evaluated a gated screening process that included accelerated progress monitoring, followed by a simple goal/reward procedure (skill vs. performance assessment,…

Jesus, Luis M. T.; Martinez, Joana; Santos, Joaquim; Hall, Andreia; Joffe, Victoria – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: This article reports on the effectiveness of a novel tablet-based approach to phonological intervention and compares it to a traditional tabletop approach, targeting children with phonologically based speech sound disorders (SSD). Method: Twenty-two Portuguese children with phonologically based SSD were randomly assigned to 1 of 2…
