Peer reviewedAbraham, Suzanne; Weiner, Frederick – Volta Review, 1987
Analysis of spoken repetitions of linguistically-controlled sentences by severely and profoundly hearing-impaired 6- to 19-year-olds (N=45) revealed that grammatical category significantly affected articulatory accuracy of target phonemes, while no effects due to syntactic complexity were noted. No differences were seen in performance between age…

Peer reviewedLuterman, David; Chasin, Judith – Volta Review, 1981
The clinical records of 31 severely hearing impaired children (6 to 13 years old) who had attended a preschool nursery program were examined to determine which factors would predict aural/oral success. (Author)

Peer reviewedSimon, Arthur B. – Volta Review, 1974
Reviewed are growth, activities, and changes of the Oral Deaf Adults Section (ODAS) of the Alexander Graham Bell Association since its establishment in 1964 to aid adjustment of the deaf to society. (MC)

Peer reviewedOsberger, Mary Joe; And Others – Volta Review, 1994
The speech intelligibility of 18 children with prelingual deafness was examined after using cochlear implants for an average of 3 years. The average speech intelligibility score of the nine children using oral communication was significantly higher than that of nine children using total communication. (DB)

Peer reviewedCleary, Miranda; Pisoni, David B.; Kirk, Karen Iler – Volta Review, 2000
A study investigated whether differences in working memory could account for variance in word recognition and receptive vocabulary skills of children (ages 5-16) using oral communication (n=32) and total communication (n=29). A contribution from working memory was observed only for the span tasks that incorporated an auditory processing component.…

Peer reviewedYoshinaga-Itano, Christine; And Others – Volta Review, 1996
Discusses three studies: (1) the effectiveness of semantic analyses of written narratives of students with hearing losses in determining language ability; (2) written-language characteristics of writers matched by reading abilities alone and matched by reading ability and age; and (3) written-language characteristics of writers with hearing…

Peer reviewedChin, Steven B.; Kaiser, Cara Lento – Volta Review, 2000
A study involving 20 children (ages 4-9) using cochlear implants compared the articulation of those who used oral communication only (n=10) and those who used total communication (TC). Results from the Goldman-Fristoe Test of Articulation indicate those using only oral communication committed significantly fewer errors than TC users. (Contains…

Peer reviewedChin, Steven B.; Finnegan, Kevin R. – Volta Review, 2000
Production of 19 word-initial two-segment consonant clusters was examined in 12 children (ages 6-16) with cochlear implants, including 6 using oral communication and 6 using total communication. Results showed that 48% of the clusters were correctly produced (75% correct for oral communication users and 21% correct for total communication users).…

Peer reviewedSvirsky, Mario A.; Chin, Steven B.; Miyamoto, Richard T.; Sloan, Robert B.; Caldwell, Matthew D. – Volta Review, 2000
A study examined the speech intelligibility of children (ages 1-15) with deafness who use hearing aids. Data revealed a strong significant trend toward higher intelligibility for children with more residual hearing, and a significant trend toward higher intelligibility for users of oral communication than those using total communication. (Contains…
