We elaborate on three currently developed elements of the theory: the reticence-expression dialectics; the contract-milieu dialectics,…

López Pérez, David; Tomalski, Przemyslaw; Radkowska, Alicja; Ballieux, Haiko; Moore, Derek G. – First Language, 2021
Efficient visual exploration in infancy is essential for cognitive and language development. It allows infants to participate in social interactions by attending to faces and learning about objects of interest. Visual scanning of scenes depends on a number of factors, and early differences in efficiency are likely contributing to differences in…

Hettiarachchi, Shyamani; Ranaweera, Mahishi; Disanayake, H. M. Lalani N. – Deafness & Education International, 2021
Young deaf and hard-of-hearing children enrolling in school in Sri Lanka often display language delay due to limited amplification and limited language stimulation. The scarcity of speech and language therapy support within the educational context at present necessitates a rethink of service-delivery models to reach more children. Multi-sensory…

Boyce, Jessica O.; Sanchez, Katherine; Amor, David J.; Reilly, Sheena; Da Costa, Annette; Kilpatrick, Nicky; Morgan, Angela T. – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2019
Background: Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) has a heterogeneous presentation and is often identified late or misdiagnosed. Diagnosis is prompted by speech, resonance or feeding symptoms associated with velopharyngeal insufficiency. However, the broader impacts of SMCP on communication have rarely been examined and therefore are poorly understood.…

MacCutcheon, Douglas; Pausch, Florian; Füllgrabe, Christian; Eccles, Renata; van der Linde, Jeannie; Panebianco, Clorinda; Fels, Janina; Ljung, Robert – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2019
Purpose: Working memory capacity and language ability modulate speech reception; however, the respective roles of peripheral and cognitive processing are unclear. The contribution of individual differences in these abilities to utilization of spatial cues when separating speech from informational and energetic masking backgrounds in children has…
