Coughler, Caitlin; Hamel, Emily Michaela; Cardy, Janis Oram; Archibald, Lisa M. D.; Purcell, David W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Developmental language disorder (DLD), an unexplained problem using and understanding spoken language, has been hypothesized to have an underlying auditory processing component. Auditory feedback plays a key role in speech motor control. The current study examined whether auditory feedback is used to regulate speech production in a…

Gijbels, Liesbeth; Yeatman, Jason D.; Lalonde, Kaylah; Lee, Adrian K. C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: It is generally accepted that adults use visual cues to improve speech intelligibility in noisy environments, but findings regarding visual speech benefit in children are mixed. We explored factors that contribute to audiovisual (AV) gain in young children's speech understanding. We examined whether there is an AV benefit to…

The Role of Short Vowels in Arabic Listening Comprehension
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Abu Rabia, Salim – Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, 2019
The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect of short Arabic vowels on listening comprehension. It is well documented that short vowels affect reading and reading comprehension in Arabic literacy. Since reading comprehension and listening comprehension share many commonalities, it is assumed that short vowels will positively affect…

Perception of Stop Onset Spectra in Chinese Children with Phonological Dyslexia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Liu, Wenli; Yue, Guoan – Dyslexia, 2012
The ability to identify stop consonants from brief onset spectra was compared between a group of Chinese children with phonological dyslexia (the PD group, with a mean age of 10 years 4 months) and a group of chronological age-matched control children. The linguistic context, which included vowels and speakers, and durations of stop onset spectra…

Speech Perception of Children with Cochlear Implants and Children with Traditional Hearing Aids
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Mildner, Vesna; Sindija, Branka; Zrinski, Karolina Vrban – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2006
The aim of the study was to analyse speech perception of children with cochlear implants (N=29) and children fitted with traditional hearing aids (N=20). One- and two-syllable words were presented auditorily in a forced choice minimal-pair discrimination task. The children repeated the word and pointed to the appropriate picture presented on…
