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…

Yu, Tzu-Ling J.; Schlauch, Robert S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: The aim of the study was to examine the precision of forced-choice (closed-set) and open-ended (open-set) word recognition (WR) tasks for identifying a change in hearing. Method: WR performance for closed-set (4 and 6 choices) and open-set tasks was obtained from 70 listeners with normal hearing. Speech recognition was degraded by…

Prodi, Nicola; Visentin, Chiara; Peretti, Alessandro; Griguolo, Jacopo; Bartolucci, Giovanni Battista – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2019
Purpose: This study aims to investigate the listening effort made by young children in real classrooms during a prolonged speech reception task in the presence of background noise. Method: The experiment was proposed to 117 typically developing kindergarten and primary school pupils, aged 5-7 years old. An ecological experimental approach was…

James M. Stratton – ProQuest LLC, 2022
The question of whether second languages (L2s) are best learned implicitly or explicitly has been a topic of much empirical discourse, with the majority of studies pointing to the benefits of explicit instruction when learning L2 grammar rules. However, given the focus on grammar, it is unclear how generalizable these findings are to other…

Liu, Jiaqi; Lin, Jiayan – SAGE Open, 2021
The research reported in this article investigated how students learning Japanese or Russian as a third language (L3) perceived and produced word-initial stops in their respective target language and the link between perception and production. The participants in the study were 39 Chinese university students who spoke Mandarin Chinese as their…

Chauvin, Alexandre; Baum, Shari; Phillips, Natalie A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Speech perception in noise becomes difficult with age but can be facilitated by audiovisual (AV) speech cues and sentence context in healthy older adults. However, individuals with Alzheimer's disease (AD) may present with deficits in AV integration, potentially limiting the extent to which they can benefit from AV cues. This study…

Villasenor, Romana F.; Smith, Sarah L.; Jewell, Vanessa D. – Journal of Occupational Therapy, Schools & Early Intervention, 2018
This systematic review evaluates current evidence for using sound-based interventions (SBIs) to improve educational participation for children with challenges in sensory processing and integration. Databases searched included CINAHL, MEDLINE Complete, PsychINFO, ERIC, Web of Science, and Cochrane. No studies explicitly measured participation-level…

Lowenstein, Joanna H.; Nittrouer, Susan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Child phonologists have long been interested in how tightly speech input constrains the speech production capacities of young children, and the question acquires clinical significance when children with hearing loss are considered. Children with sensorineural hearing loss often show differences in the spectral and temporal structures of…

Ling, Wenyi; Grüter, Theres – Second Language Research, 2022
Successful listening in a second language (L2) involves learning to identify the relevant acoustic-phonetic dimensions that differentiate between words in the L2, and then use these cues to access lexical representations during real-time comprehension. This is a particularly challenging goal to achieve when the relevant acoustic-phonetic…

Qin, Zhen; Jin, Rui; Zhang, Caicai – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Although variability of training materials has the potential to benefit the learning of lexical tones, the benefit is contingent on an individual's pitch aptitude. Previous studies did not segregate immediate learning and consolidation after an overnight interval, and little is known about how pitch aptitude differences affect…

Vanden Bosch der Nederlanden, Christina M.; Snyder, Joel S.; Hannon, Erin E. – Developmental Psychology, 2016
Children interact with and learn about all types of sound sources, including dogs, bells, trains, and human beings. Although it is clear that knowledge of semantic categories for everyday sights and sounds develops during childhood, there are very few studies examining how children use this knowledge to make sense of auditory scenes. We used a…

Williamson, Rebecca A.; Brooks, Rechele; Meltzoff, Andrew N. – Journal of Cognition and Development, 2015
Understanding others' perceptions is a fundamental aspect of social cognition. Children's construal of visual perception is well investigated, but there is little work on children's understanding of others' auditory perception. The current study assesses toddlers' recognition that producing different sounds can affect others…

van Knijff, Eline C.; Coene, Martine; Govaerts, Paul J. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2018
Background: Previous research has suggested that speech perception in elderly adults is influenced not only by age-related hearing loss or presbycusis but also by declines in cognitive abilities, by background noise and by the syntactic complexity of the message. Aims: To gain further insight into the influence of these cognitive as well as…

Miller, Christi W.; Bernstein, Joshua G. W.; Zhang, Xuyang; Wu, Yu-Hsiang; Bentler, Ruth A.; Trembley, Kelly – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: This study evaluated whether certain spectral ripple conditions were more informative than others in predicting ecologically relevant unaided and aided speech outcomes. Method: A quasi-experimental study design was used to evaluate 67 older adult hearing aid users with bilateral, symmetrical hearing loss. Speech perception in noise was…

Moore, Travis M.; Picou, Erin M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Subjective reports of listening effort are frequently inconsistent with behavioral and physiological findings. A potential explanation is that participants unwittingly substitute an easier question when faced with a judgment that requires computationally expensive analysis (i.e., heuristic response strategies). The purpose of this study…
