Contribution of Implicit Sequence Learning to Spoken Language Processing: Some Preliminary Findings with Hearing Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Conway, Christopher M.; Karpicke, Jennifer; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2007
Spoken language consists of a complex, sequentially arrayed signal that contains patterns that can be described in terms of statistical relations among language units. Previous research has suggested that a domain-general ability to learn structured sequential patterns may underlie language acquisition. To test this prediction, we examined the…

Nonword Repetition with Spectrally Reduced Speech: Some Developmental and Clinical Findings from Pediatric Cochlear Implantation
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Burkholder-Juhasz, Rose A.; Levi, Susannah V.; Dillon, Caitlin M.; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2007
Nonword repetition skills were examined in 24 pediatric cochlear implant (CI) users and 18 normal-hearing (NH) adult listeners listening through a CI simulator. Two separate groups of NH adult listeners assigned accuracy ratings to the nonword responses of the pediatric CI users and the NH adult speakers. Overall, the nonword repetitions of…

Effects of Phonotactic Probabilities on the Processing of Spoken Words and Nonwords by Postlingually Deafened Adults with Cochlear Implants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Vitevitch, Michael S.; Pisoni, David B.; Kirk, Karen Iler; Hay-McCutcheon, Marcia; Yount, Stacey L. – Volta Review, 2000
Two online tasks (an auditory same-different task and an auditory lexical decision task) examined the use of phonotactic information by 18 adults with cochlear implants. Cochlear implant patients with better word recognition abilities produced patterns of results similar to results obtained from listeners with normal hearing. (Contains…

Perception of "Elliptical Speech" Following Cochlear Implantation: Use of Broad Phonetic Categories in Speech Perception.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Herman, Rebecca; Pisoni, David B. – Volta Review, 2000
A study investigated perception of elliptical speech in an adult cochlear implant patient. Two experiments were conducted using sets of meaningful and anomalous English sentences: one set contained correct place of articulation cues, the other was transformed into elliptical speech. The patient and controls labeled the sentences as the same.…

Use of Partial Information by Cochlear Implant Users and Listeners with Normal Hearing in Identifying Spoken Words: Some Preliminary Analyses.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lachs, Lorin; Weiss, Jonathan W.; Pisoni, David B. – Volta Review, 2000
An error analysis of the word recognition responses of 20 adult cochlear implant users and 19 typical listeners was conducted to determine the types of partial information used when they identified spoken words under auditory-alone and audiovisual conditions. Results indicate there were no significant interactions with hearing status. (Contains…
