Sophie Fagniart; Véronique Delvaux; Bernard Harmegnies; Anne Huberlant; Kathy Huet; Myriam Piccaluga; Isabelle Watterman; Brigitte Charlier – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The present study investigates the perception of vowel nasality in French-speaking children with cochlear implants (CIs; CI group) and children with typical hearing (TH; TH group) aged 4-12 years. By investigating the vocalic nasality feature in French, the study aims to document more broadly the effects of the acoustic limitations of CI…

Broos, Wouter P. J.; Dijkgraaf, Aster; Van Assche, Eva; Vander Beken, Heleen; Dirix, Nicolas; Lagrou, Evelyne; Hartsuiker, Robert J.; Duyck, Wouter – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2019
In dialogue, speakers tend to adapt their speech to the speech of their interlocutor. Adapting speech production to preceding speech input may be particularly relevant for second language (L2) speakers interacting with native (L1) speakers, as adaptation may facilitate L2 learning. Here we asked whether Dutch-English bilinguals adapt pronunciation…

Background: Articulatory excursion and vocal intensity are reduced in many children with dysarthria due to cerebral palsy (CP), contributing to the children's intelligibility deficits and negatively affecting their social participation. However, the effects of speech-treatment strategies for improving intelligibility in this population are…

Simon, Marie; Fromont, Lauren A.; Le Normand, Marie-Thérèse; Leybaert, Jacqueline – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2019
This study aims to compare word spelling outcomes for French-speaking deaf children with a cochlear implant (CI) with hearing children who matched for age, level of education and gender. A picture written naming task controlling for word frequency, word length, and phoneme-to-grapheme predictability was designed to analyze spelling productions. A…

Using diSessa's (2003) work on metarepresentational competence in mathematics and sciences as theoretical and empirical background, it aims to assess children's criteria for representational adequacy of graphical…

Alegria, J.; Lechat, J. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2005
Deaf children exposed to Cued Speech (CS), either before age two (early) or later at school (late), were presented with pseudowords with and without CS. The main goal was to establish the way in which lipreading and CS combine to produce unitary percepts, similar to audiovisual integration in speech perception, when participants are presented with…
