Auditory Word Recognition Ability in Babble Noise and Phonological Development in Children at 3;6 Years of Age
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Aalto, Eija; Saaristo-Helin, Katri; Stolt, Suvi – Language Learning and Development, 2023
Background noise challenges auditory recognition of speech and may reveal the underlying deficits in auditory word recognition skills. Previous studies have reported an association between children's auditory skills and various linguistic skills, including phonology, although in some languages only. However, language-specific features influence…

Suortti, Outi; Lipponen, Lasse – Journal of Early Childhood Literacy, 2014
The present study is the first part of a longitudinal research project investigating whether children become more aware of phonemes or rhyming when they learn letters or letter sounds or even begin to read, and if so how. For the present paper, the phonological awareness of young children aged 2-6 years was analyzed, particularly their auditory…

Aoyama, Katsura; Reid, Lawrence A. – First Language, 2016
This study reports on the acquisition of quantity contrasts in Guina-ang Bontok, an indigenous language spoken in the Philippines. Four-year-old and 5-year-old children's perception and production of quantity contrasts were examined using a pair of names that contrast in the quantity of the medial nasal. Frequencies of the quantity contrast were…

Hamalainen, J. A.; Leppanen, P. H. T.; Eklund, K.; Thomson, J.; Richardson, U.; Guttorm, T. K.; Witton, C.; Poikkeus, A. -M.; Goswami, U.; Lyytinen, H. – Applied Psycholinguistics, 2009
Our goal was to investigate auditory and speech perception abilities of children with and without reading disability (RD) and associations between auditory, speech perception, reading, and spelling skills. Participants were 9-year-old, Finnish-speaking children with RD (N = 30) and typically reading children (N = 30). Results showed significant…

Phoneme Recognition and Confusions with Multichannel Cochlear Implants: Vowels.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Valimaa, Taina T.; Maatta, Taisto K.; Lopponen, Heikki J.; Sorri, Martti J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002
A study investigated how 19 Finnish adults who were postlingually severely or profoundly hearing impaired would relearn to recognize vowels after receiving multi-channel cochlear implants. Average vowel recognition was 68% 6 months after switch-on, and 80% 24 months after switch-on. Vowels y, e, and o were most difficult. (Contains references.)…

Phoneme Recognition and Confusions with Multichannel Cochlear Implants: Consonants.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Valimaa, Taina T.; Maatta, Taisto K.; Lopponen, Heikki J.; Sorri, Martti J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2002
A study investigated how 19 Finnish adults who were postlingually severely or profoundly hearing impaired would relearn to recognize consonants after receiving multi-channel cochlear implants. Two years after the switch-on, the mean recognition for consonants was 71%. Consonants with alveolar, palatal, or velar transitions were better recognized.…
