Publication date: September 2019Source: Brain and Language, Volume 196Author(s): Kinsey Bice, Judith F. KrollAbstractAccumulating evidence shows how language context shapes bilingual language use and its cognitive consequences. However, few studies have considered the impact of language context for monolinguals. Although monolinguals’ language processing is assumed to be relatively stable and homogeneous, some research has shown novel learning through exposure alone. Monolinguals living in linguistically...

Objective: While it is known that connected speech has different features to single-word speech, there are currently few recommendations regarding connected speech transcription. This research therefore aimed to develop a clinically feasible protocol for connected speech transcription. The protocol was then used to assist with description of the connected speech of children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), as little is known about their connected speech characteristics. Participants and Methods:...

Background: Differential diagnosis and treatment planning of developmental speech disorders (DSD) remains a major challenge in paediatric speech-language pathology. Different classification systems exist, in which subtypes are differentiated based on their theoretical cause and in which the definitions generally refer to speech production processes. Accordingly, various intervention methods have been developed aiming at different parts of the speech production process. Diagnostic classification in...

Background: The association between voice and body posture is consensual across the scientific literature and seems to be established both ways. Any changes in normal posture can influence the mechanisms of vocal production; on the other hand, vocal rehabilitation can influence posture. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the postural pattern in subjects with organic voice disorders before and after speech rehabilitation, using computerised dynamic posturography (CDP). Methods: In this prospective...

Objective: In the perceptual assessment of dysarthria, various approaches are used to examine the accuracy of listeners’ speech transcriptions and their subjective impressions of speech disorder. However, less attention has been given to the effort and cognitive resources required to process speech samples. This study explores the relationship between transcription accuracy, comprehensibility, subjective impressions of speech, and objective measures of reaction time (RT) to further examine the challenges...

That specification is based on traditional speech-language pathology practices rather than empirical research, and two studies have suggested...
