A Framework of Motoric Complexity: An Investigation in Children with Typical and Impaired Speech Development
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Case, Julie; Grigos, Maria I. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2020
Introduction: The current work presents a framework of motoric complexity where stimuli differ according to movement elements across a sound sequence (i.e., consonant transitions and vowel direction). This framework was then examined in children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), other speech sound disorders (SSDs), and typical development…

Iuzzini-Seigel, Jenya – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This case-control study sought to determine if (a) children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), other speech sound disorders (SSDs), and typical development would perform differently on a procedural learning assessment and (b) whether grammatical ability would impact group differences. Method: Communication, motor, and procedural…

Kehoe, Margaret M.; Cretton, Emilie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2021
Purpose: This study examines intraword variability in 40 typically developing French-speaking monolingual and bilingual children, aged 2;6-4;8 (years;months). Specifically, it measures rate of intraword variability and investigates which factors best account for it. They include child-specific ones such as age, expressive vocabulary, gender,…

van den Bunt, Mark R.; Groen, Margriet A.; Frost, Steve; Lau, Airey; Preston, Jonathan L.; Gracco, Vincent L.; Pugh, Kenneth R.; Verhoeven, Ludo T. W. – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2018
Studies of the role of phonological representations in learning to read have almost exclusively focused on speech perception. In the current study, we examined links between sensorimotor control of speech, reading, and reading-related abilities. We studied two languages, English and Dutch, which vary in the regularity of their spelling-to-sound…

Speech Analysis of Bengali Speaking Children with Repaired Cleft Lip & Palate
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Chakrabarty, Madhushree; Kumar, Suman; Chatterjee, Indranil; Maheshwari, Neha – Indian Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2012
The present study aims at analyzing speech samples of four Bengali speaking children with repaired cleft palates with a view to differentiate between the misarticulations arising out of a deficit in linguistic skills and structural or motoric limitations. Spontaneous speech samples were collected and subjected to a number of linguistic analyses…

Perceptual, Motor, Memory, and Quantitative Elements of Language Behavior: Differences Between 3- and 4-Year-Old Performance.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
McLoughlin, Caven S.; Gullo, Dominic F. – Perceptual and Motor Skills, 1982
To examine language performance and its subskills, the McCarthy Scales of Children's Abilities were administered to 30 three- and four-year-old children. The contradictory findings of verbal performance examined by age suggests that component skills contributing to verbal language behavior may vary significantly with age in the preschool years.…
