Ananthakrishnan, Saradha; Luo, Xin – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The objective of this study was to determine if and how the subcortical neural representation of pitch cues in listeners with normal hearing is affected by systematic manipulation of vocoder parameters. Method: This study assessed the effects of temporal envelope cutoff frequency (50 and 500 Hz), number of channels (1-32), and carrier…

Eddy C. H. Wong; Min Ney Wong; Shelley L. Velleman – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: Pitch variations (tone productions) have been reported as a measure to differentiate Cantonese-speaking children with and without childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). This study aims to examine fundamental frequency (F0) changes within syllables and the effects of syllable structure, lexical status, and syllable positions on F0 in…

Arias-Vergara, Tomás; Batliner, Anton; Rader, Tobias; Polterauer, Daniel; Högerle, Catalina; Müller, Joachim; Orozco-Arroyave, Juan-Rafael; Nöth, Elmar; Schuster, Maria – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2022
Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the speech prosody of postlingually deaf cochlear implant (CI) users compared with control speakers without hearing or speech impairment. Method: Speech recordings of 74 CI users (37 males and 37 females) and 72 age-balanced control speakers (36 males and 36 females) are considered. All…

Patel, Shivani P.; Winston, Molly; Guilfoyle, Janna; Nicol, Trent; Martin, Gary E.; Nayar, Kritika; Kraus, Nina; Losh, Molly – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
Efficient neural encoding of sound plays a critical role in speech and language, and when impaired, may have reverberating effects on communication skills. This study investigated disruptions to neural processing of temporal and spectral properties of speech in individuals with ASD and their parents and found evidence of inefficient temporal…

Lui, Ming; Lau, Gilbert Ka Bo; Han, Yvonne Ming Yee; Yuen, Kevin Chi Pun; Sommer, Werner – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2023
This study investigated whether individuals with high autistic traits rely on psychoacoustic abilities in affective prosody recognition (APR). In 94 college students, Autism Spectrum Quotient (AQ) and psychoacoustic abilities were measured. Results indicated that higher AQ, higher rapid auditory processing (RAP), and maleness were associated with…

Sampaio, Marília; Masson, Maria Lúcia Vaz; de Paula Soares, Maria Francisca; Bohlender, Jörg Edgar; Brockmann-Bauser, Meike – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: Smoothed cepstral peak prominence (CPPS) and harmonics-to-noise ratio (HNR) are acoustic measures related to the periodicity, harmonicity, and noise components of an acoustic signal. To date, there is little evidence about the advantages of CPPS over HNR in voice diagnostics. Recent studies indicate that voice fundamental frequency (F0)…

Bruce Xiao Wang; Si Chen; Fang Zhou; Jiang Liu; Cheng Xiao; Angel Chan; Tempo Tang – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2024
Purpose: The current study investigated English prosodic focus marking by autistic and typically developing (TD) Cantonese trilingual children, and examined the potential differences in this regard compared to native English-speaking children. Method: Forty-eight participants were recruited with 16 speakers for each of the three groups…

Patel, Shivani P.; Nayar, Kritika; Martin, Gary E.; Franich, Kathryn; Crawford, Stephanie; Diehl, Joshua J.; Losh, Molly – Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 2020
This study examined prosody through characterization of acoustic properties of the speech of individuals with ASD and their parents, during narration. A subset of utterances were low-pass filtered and rated for differences in intonation, speech rate, and rhythm. Listener ratings were minimally related to acoustic measures, underscoring the…

Audun Rosslund; Silje Hagelund; Julien Mayor; Natalia Kartushina – Journal of Child Language, 2023
Previous research on infant-directed speech (IDS) and its role in infants' language development has largely focused on mothers, with fathers being investigated scarcely. Here we examine the acoustics of IDS as compared to adult-directed speech (ADS) in Norwegian mothers and fathers to 8-month-old infants, and whether these relate to direct…

Hilger, Allison; Cole, Jennifer; Kim, Jason H.; Lester-Smith, Rosemary A.; Larson, Charles – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Purpose: In this study, we investigated how the direction and timing of a perturbation in voice pitch auditory feedback during phrasal production modulated the magnitude and latency of the pitch-shift reflex as well as the scaling of acoustic production of anticipatory intonation targets for phrasal prominence and boundary. Method: Brief pitch…

Chung, Wei-Lun; Bidelman, Gavin M. – Reading and Writing: An Interdisciplinary Journal, 2021
Cross-linguistic studies have reported that prosodic pattern awareness (e.g., lexical stress and lexical tone) is more important to reading acquisition than phonological awareness. However, few longitudinal studies have been conducted to explore the relations between these variables. This study examined preschoolers' pitch discrimination, prosodic…

Cravotta, Alice; Busà, M. Grazia; Prieto, Pilar – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Previous studies have investigated the effects of the inability to produce hand gestures on speakers' prosodic features of speech; however, the potential effects of encouraging speakers to gesture have received less attention, especially in naturalistic settings. This study aims at investigating the effects of encouraging the production…

Steen, Vilde Buhaug; Englund, Nunne – Scandinavian Journal of Educational Research, 2022
This paper presents a natural experiment using a play situation with specific toys to examine and compare the characteristics of 33 Norwegian-speaking female pedagogical employees' child-directed speech (CDS) and adult-directed speech (ADS). Vowel pitch, duration, format frequency, and vowel space area of the vowels /a:/, /i:/, and /u:/ as well as…

Arciuli, Joanne; Bailey, Benjamin – Journal of Child Language, 2019
In this exploratory study, we examined stress contrastivity within real word productions elicited via picture naming in 20 children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and 20 typical peers group-wise matched on age and vocabulary. Targets had a dominant pattern of lexical stress beginning with a strong-weak pattern (SW: 'caterpillar',…

Myers, Brett R. – ProQuest LLC, 2019
Language has a rhythmic structure, but little is known about the mechanisms that underlie how it is planned. Traditional models of language production assume that metrical and segmental planning occur independently and in parallel (Roelofs & Meyer, 1998). We test this claim in three experiments. In Experiment 1, participants completed an…
