Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Beijer, L. J.; Rietveld, A. C. M.; van Stiphout, A. J. L. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2011
Background: Web based speech training for dysarthric speakers, such as E-learning based Speech Therapy (EST), puts considerable demands on auditory discrimination abilities. Aims: To discuss the development and the evaluation of an auditory discrimination test (ADT) for the assessment of auditory speech discrimination skills in Dutch adult…

Quality of "Glottal" Stops in Tracheoesophageal Speakers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
van Rossum, M. A.; van As-Brooks, C. J.; Hilgers, F. J. M.; Roozen, M. – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2009
Glottal stops are conveyed by an abrupt constriction at the level of the glottis. Tracheoesophageal (TE) speakers are known to have poor control over the new voice source (neoglottis), and this might influence the production of "glottal" stops. This study investigated how TE speakers realized "glottal" stops in abutting words…

Effects of Linguistic Correlates of Stuttering on Emg Activity in Nonstuttering Speakers.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
van Lieshout, Pascal H. H. M.; And Others – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1995
Changes in upper/lower lip integrated electromyographic (IEMG) amplitude and temporal measures related to linguistic factors known for their influence on stuttering were investigated in 12 male Dutch nonstutterers. Findings indicated that production of stressed, vowel-rounding gestures of words in initial position, longer words, and words in…

Adaptation of Stuttering Frequency during Repeated Readings: Associated Changes in Acoustic Parameters of Perceptually Fluent Speech.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Max, Ludo; Caruso, Anthony J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 1998
A study of eight Dutch individuals (ages 14 to 56) who stutter found that adaptation of stuttering frequency during repeated readings may be a result of motor learning. Furthermore, during repeated readings, reductions in stuttering frequency were not related to reductions in the variability of acoustically derived measures of speech production.…

Articulation in Prader-Willi Syndrome.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Defloor, Truus; Van Borsel, John; Curfs, Leopold – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2002
This study examined articulation in 13 Dutch individuals (ages 7-29, IQs 38-83) with Prader-Willi syndrome using a picture naming test with transcribed samples subjected to analyses for articulation errors. Results suggest that the impaired articulation found is a function of IQ and that with increasing age, phonological problems gradually resolve…

Psychological and Speech Studies in Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome.
Hennekam, Raoul C. M.; And Others – American Journal on Mental Retardation, 1992
Forty Dutch individuals (ages 2-34) with Rubinstein-Taybi syndrome were tested using an extensive battery of intelligence, social competency, temperament, behavior, articulation, and receptive and expressive language measures. Results indicated that intelligence level was usually low and individuals were remarkably consistent in their social…
