Yuan, Yi; Meyers, Kelli; Borges, Kayla; Lleo, Yasneli; Fiorentino, Katarina A.; Oh, Yonghee – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study investigated the effects of visually presented speech envelope information with various modulation rates and depths on audiovisual speech perception in noise. Method: Forty adults (21.25 ± 1.45 years) participated in audiovisual sentence recognition measurements in noise. Target speech sentences were auditorily presented in…

Lee, Dae-yong – ProQuest LLC, 2022
As there is a growing population of non-native speakers worldwide, facilitating communication involving native and non-native speakers has become increasingly important. While one way to help communication involving native and non-native speakers is to help non-native speakers improve proficiency in their target language, another way is to help…

Meemanna, Kirsten; Smiljanic, Rajka – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study explored clear speech (CS) and noise-adapted speech (NAS) intelligibility benefits for native and nonnative English listeners. It also examined how the two speaking style adaptations interact with maskers that vary from purely energetic to largely informational at different signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs). Method: Materials…

Pasquale Bottalico; Silvia Murgia; Taylor Mekus; Mary Flaherty – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2023
Purpose: The purpose of this project is to assess the acoustical conditions in which optimal intelligibility and low listening difficulty can be achieved in real classrooms for elementary students, taking into consideration the effects of dysphonic voice and typical classroom noise. Method: Speech intelligibility tests were performed in six…

Schölderle, Theresa; Haas, Elisabet; Baumeister, Stefanie; Ziegler, Wolfram – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This article describes the developmental trajectories of four communication-related parameters (i.e., intelligibility, articulation rate, fluency, and communicative efficiency) in a cross-sectional study of typically developing children between 3 and 9 years. The four target parameters were related to auditory-perceptual parameters of…

Kim, Yunjung; Thompson, Austin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the effects of wearing a face mask on speech acoustics and intelligibility, using an acoustic-phonetic analysis of speech. In addition, the effects of speakers' behavioral modification while wearing a mask were examined. Method: Fourteen female adults were asked to read a set of words and sentences under three…

Holmes, Emma; Johnsrude, Ingrid S. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2020
Understanding speech in adverse conditions is affected by experience--a familiar voice is substantially more intelligible than an unfamiliar voice when competing speech is present, even if the content of the speech (the words) are controlled. This familiar-voice benefit is observed consistently, but its underpinnings are unclear: Do familiar…

Hosseinabad, Hedieh Hashemi; Bai, Xiuqin – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2023
Background: Intelligibility measurement is influenced by the characteristics of a speaker, listener and contextual factors. This study addresses the clinical problem of measuring speech intelligibility in children with velopharyngeal insufficiency (VPI) in real-world conditions. Aims: The purpose of the study was to investigate the effects of…

Rong, Panying; Heidrick, Lindsey – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: This study aimed to (a) relate temporal patterning of articulation to functional speech outcomes in neurologically healthy and impaired speakers, (b) identify changes in temporal patterning of articulation in neurologically impaired speakers, and (c) evaluate how these changes can be modulated by speaking rate manipulation. Method:…

Ellis, Gregory M.; Souza, Pamela – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
The original Spectral Correlation Index (SCI[underscore o]) is a measure of amplitude envelope distortion that has been used in several studies to predict behavioral results. Because the original SCI[underscore o] did not account for the differential contribution of particular frequency bands to speech intelligibility (i.e., band importance) or…

Mendoza Ramos, Viviana; Vasquez-Correa, Juan C.; Cremers, Rani; Van Den Steen, Leen; Nöth, Elmar; De Bodt, Marc; Van Nuffelen, Gwen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: Imprecise articulation has a negative impact on speech intelligibility. Therefore, treatment of articulation is clinically relevant in patients with dysarthria. In order to be effective and according to the principles of motor learning, articulation therapy needs to be intensive, well organized, with adequate feedback and requires…

Gutz, Sarah E.; Rowe, Hannah P.; Tilton-Bolowsky, Victoria E.; Green, Jordan R. – Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications, 2022
Mask-wearing during the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted a growing interest in the functional impact of masks on speech and communication. Prior work has shown that masks dampen sound, impede visual communication cues, and reduce intelligibility. However, more work is needed to understand how speakers change their speech while wearing a mask and to…

Winn, Matthew B.; Teece, Katherine H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: Speech recognition percent correct scores fail to capture the effort of mentally repairing the perception of speech that was initially misheard. This study measured the effort of listening to stimuli specifically designed to elicit mental repair in adults who use cochlear implants (CIs). Method: CI listeners heard and repeated sentences…

Mendoza Ramos, Viviana; Paulyn, Charlotte; Van den Steen, Leen; Hernandez-Diaz Huici, Maria E.; De Bodt, Marc; Van Nuffelen, Gwen – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2021
Background: The articulatory accuracy of patients with dysarthria is one of the most affected speech dimensions with a high impact on speech intelligibility. Behavioural treatments of articulation can either involve direct or indirect approaches. The latter have been thoroughly investigated and are generally appreciated for their almost immediate…

Beadle, Julie; Kim, Jeesun; Davis, Chris – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: Listeners understand significantly more speech in noise when the talker's face can be seen (visual speech) in comparison to an auditory-only baseline (a visual speech benefit). This study investigated whether the visual speech benefit is reduced when the correspondence between auditory and visual speech is uncertain and whether any…
