Min Zhu; Fei Chen; Weiping Chen; Yang Zhang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2025
Purpose: Stuttering is a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts the timing and rhythmic flow of speech production. There is growing evidence indicating that abnormal interactions between the auditory and motor cortices contribute to the development of stuttering. The present study investigated speech auditory-motor synchronization in stuttering…

Suyun Xu; Hua Zhang; Juan Fan; Xiaoming Jiang; Minyue Zhang; Jingjing Guan; Hongwei Ding; Yang Zhang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate challenges in speech-in-noise (SiN) processing faced by school-age children with autism spectrum conditions (ASCs) and their impact on listening effort. Method: Participants, including 23 Mandarin-speaking children with ASCs and 19 age-matched neurotypical (NT) peers, underwent sentence recognition tests in…

Sijia Chen; Jan-Louis Kruger – Interpreter and Translator Trainer, 2024
Following a preliminary study that examined the potential effectiveness of a computer-assisted consecutive interpreting (CACI) mode, this paper presents a further trial of the CACI workflow. The workflow involves respeaking using speech recognition (SR) in phase I and production assisted by the SR text and its machine translation (MT) output in…

Yi Weng; Yicheng Rong; Gang Peng – Child Development, 2024
The developmental trajectory of audiovisual speech perception in Mandarin-speaking children remains understudied. This cross-sectional study in Mandarin-speaking 3- to 4-year-old, 5- to 6-year-old, 7- to 8-year-old children, and adults from Xiamen, China (n = 87, 44 males) investigated this issue using the McGurk paradigm with three levels of…

Zhu, Jiaqiang; Chen, Xiaoxiang; Chen, Fei; Wiener, Seth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Individuals with congenital amusia exhibit degraded speech perception. This study examined whether adult Chinese Mandarin listeners with amusia were still able to extract the statistical regularities of Mandarin speech sounds, despite their degraded speech perception. Method: Using the gating paradigm with monosyllabic syllable-tone…

Yuying Sun; Jia Zhou; Huiqin Zhu; Panting Liu; Huanxi Lin; Zhenglu Xiao; Xinyue Yu; Jun Qian; Meiling Tong; Xia Chi; Qin Hong – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of auditory processing (AP) in preschool children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) using the speech auditory brainstem response (speech-ABR), which provides insights into the AP of speech signals in the central auditory nervous system (CANS). Method: A total of 84…

Jiayu Liu; Junjuan Gu; Chen Feng; Weiting Shi; Chris Biemann; Xingshan Li – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2024
Purpose: This study was designed to distinguish the degree of sharing of representations between different modalities by investigating whether a word encountering experience in one modality impacts word processing in another modality. Method: In three experiments, participants experienced some words frequently in the auditory modality (Experiment…

Feng, Yan; Peng, Gang; Wang, William Shi-Yuan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the different degeneration processes of categorical perception (CP) of Mandarin lexical tones in the normal aging population and the pathological aging population with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Method: In Experiment I, we compared the identification and discrimination of Tone 1 and Tone 2 across young…

Kazuya Saito – Language Teaching, 2023
In this paper, I first provide a brief review of how scholars have conceptualized, tested, and elaborated aptitude frameworks relevant to second language (L2) speech learning. Subsequently, I introduce an emerging paradigm that assigns a fundamental role to domain-general auditory processing (i.e., having a good ear) in L1 speech acquisition and…

Li, Manhong; Chen, Xiaoxiang; Zhu, Jiaqiang; Chen, Fei – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Armed with the theory of embodied cognition proposing tight interactions between perception, motor, and cognition, this study aimed to test the hypothesis that speech rate-altered Mandarin lexical tone perception in quiet and noisy environments could be affected by the bodily dynamic cross-modal information. Method: Fifty-three adult…

Zhu, Jiaqiang; Chen, Xiaoxiang; Chen, Fei; Zhang, Caicai; Shao, Jing; Wiener, Seth – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: Previous studies have shown that individuals with congenital amusia exhibit deficient pitch processing across music and language domains. This study investigated whether adult Chinese-speaking listeners with amusia were still able to learn Thai lexical tones based on stimulus frequency of statistical distribution via distributional…

Ji, Hui; Yu, Xinyue; Xiao, Zhenglu; Zhu, Huiqin; Liu, Panting; Lin, Huanxi; Chen, Renjie; Hong, Qin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Objective: This study aimed to investigate the current status of cognitive development and central auditory processing development of preschool children with minimal and mild hearing loss (MMHL) in Nanjing, China. Method: We recruited 34 children with MMHL and 45 children with normal hearing (NH). They completed a series of tests, including…

Xu, Min; Shao, Jing; Liu, Boquan; Wang, Lan; Ding, Hongwei; Zhang, Yang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2023
Purpose: This study aimed to examine how aging and modifications of critical acoustic parameters may affect the perception of whispered speech as a degraded signal. Method: Forty Mandarin-speaking adults were included in the study. Part 1 of the study compared the perception of Mandarin lexical tones, vowels, and syllables in older and younger…

Ying Li – Language Learning and Development, 2024
While phonetic training in laboratory settings has been shown to be helpful for second language (L2) sounds learning in prior studies , it is still open to debate whether a perception- or a production-based approach can better help adults learn L2 sounds in classroom settings. This study aimed to fill this knowledge gap. The participants were…

Liu, Yin; Xu, Runyi; Gong, Qin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate whether human auditory frequency tuning can be influenced by tonal language experience. Method: Perceptual tuning measured via psychophysical tuning curves and cochlear tuning derived via stimulus-frequency otoacoustic emission suppression tuning curves in 14 native speakers of a tonal language…
