Parrila, Rauno; Kirby, John R.; McQuarrie, Lynn – Scientific Studies of Reading, 2004
This study examines how measures of articulation rate, verbal short-term memory (STM), naming speed, and phonological awareness tasks administered in kindergarten and again in Grade 1 jointly and uniquely predict word reading and passage comprehension variance in Grades 1, 2, and 3. Results from regression and commonality analyses indicated that…

Yunusova, Yana; Weismer, Gary; Kent, Ray D.; Rusche, Nicole M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Purpose: This study was designed to determine whether within-speaker fluctuations in speech intelligibility occurred among speakers with dysarthria who produced a reading passage, and, if they did, whether selected linguistic and acoustic variables predicted the variations in speech intelligibility. Method: Participants with dysarthria included a…

Fox, Robert Allen; Nissen, Shawn L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
This investigation is a comprehensive acoustic study of 4 voiceless fricatives (/f [theta] s [esh]/) in English produced by adults and pre-and postpubescent children aged 6-14 years. Vowel duration, amplitude, and several different spectral measures (including spectral tilt and spectral moments) were examined. Of specific interest was the pattern…

Fleming, Kimberly O.; Hartman, Jayne H. – Florida Educational Research Council Research Bulletin, 1989
A study investigated the appropriate use and interpretation of a phonological test, the Computer Analysis of Phonological Processes (CAPP), with children who are not speakers of Standard English. In the test, three-dimensional objects are used to elicit spontaneously a carefully designed word list including all American English phonemes and 31…

Abbi, Anvita; Mishra, Awadhesh K. – 1987
A phonemic analysis of the Meitei language of Manipur, India, is presented. The vowel and consonant system is analyzed by the classical phonemic method, but with morpheme structure rules formulated according to the principles of generative phonology in order to generalize the pattern of various sounds and specify the allophonic distribution of…

Hartmann, Barbara; And Others – 1989
This manual offers a flexible and practical intervention program for preschoolers and school-aged children who have developmental articulation disorders; phonological disorders; or intelligibility disorders due to suprasegmental problems such as a rapid rate of speech, generally imprecise production, or low speaking volume. The program emphasizes…

Bentz, Darrell; Szymczuk, Mike – 1981
A study was designed to investigate the auditory-visual integrative abilities of primary grade children for five long vowels and five short vowels. The Vowel Integration Test (VIT), composed of 35 nonsense words having all the long and short vowel sounds, was administered to students in 64 schools over a period of two years. Students' indications…

Jacobson, Joan M.; Etzel, Barbara C. – 1967
A 2-year, 8-month old boy with a language handicap was the subject of a 5-month training program which investigated the generalization of articulatory ability during and after a series of sessions aimed at correcting the boy's misarticulation of the letter "t." Before training began, three matters necessitated attention: (1) the establishment of…
