Middle Ear Resonance and Acoustic Immittance Measures in Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hanks, Wendy D.; Rose, Katie J. – Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, 1993
This study established a normal middle ear resonance estimated from sweep frequency tympanometry, established normal equivalent ear canal volume, static acoustic admittance, and tympanometric peak pressure at 226 hertz in 90 children with normal hearing and 68 children with deafness, ages 6-15. No significant intergroup or age differences were…

Bandwidth Effects on Children's Perception of the Inflectional Morpheme /s/: Acoustical Measurements, Auditory Detection, and Clarity Rating.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kortekaas, Reinier W. L.; Stelmachowicz, Patricia G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2000
This study examined developmental effects in auditory perception of word-final /s/ in inflectional morpheme contexts as a function of high-frequency (HF) bandwidth with normal hearing 5-, 7-, 10-year-olds and adults. The higher detection thresholds and larger clarity rating variances for the youngest participants support the use of extended…

Age-Related Changes in Auditory Temporal Perception.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Morrongiello, Barbara; Trehub, Sandra E. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 1987
Evaluates the discrimination of signal and silence duration in six-month-old infants, children aged 5 1/2 years, and adults. Results show that infants discriminated duration changes of 20 milliseconds or greater, children discriminated 15 milliseconds, and adults as few as 10 ms. Findings are consistent with other research in revealing age-related…

The Relation between Stimulus Context, Speech Audibility, and Perception for Normal-Hearing and Hearing-Impaired Children.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Stelmachowicz, Patricia G.; Hoover, Brenda M.; Lewis, Dawna E.; Kortekaas, Reinier W. L.; Pittman, Andrea L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2000
This study examined the influence of stimulus context and audibility on sentence recognition in 60 normal-hearing children, 24 hearing-impaired children, and 20 normal-hearing adults. For both semantically correct and semantically anomalous sentences, there was a systematic age-related shift in the performance-intensity functions. Data from the…

Hearing Thresholds of Students in the Second, Eighth, and Twelfth Grades.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Montgomery, Judith K.; Fujikawa, Sharon – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1992
Students (n=1,500) in grades 2, 8, and 12 were given pure-tone threshold hearing tests to determine whether prevalence of hearing loss varied with age. A significantly higher prevalence of hearing loss was found in older children. Comparison with earlier data found a greater prevalence of hearing loss among second and eighth graders today than 10…

The Integration of Pitch and Rhythm in Musical Judgment: Testing Age-Related Trends in Novice Listeners.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Demorest, Steven M.; Serlin, Ronald C. – Journal of Research in Music Education, 1997
Revises an earlier experiment that revealed age-related increases in sensitivity to rhythmic information when judging the difference between a theme and selected pitch and rhythm variations. Tested the possibility that the developmental differences found earlier were due to characteristics of the test melody. Results supported the earlier study.…
