Mandibular Motor Control During the Early Development of Speech and Nonspeech Behaviors.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Motor control for babble appears to be influenced by the balanced interaction between developing motor and linguistic systems, such that variation in linguistic complexity systematically evinces changes in motor organization apparently to meet these demands. This same effect was noted among chewing and jaw oscillation; task-dependent changes in mandibular control were noted across behaviors.

Factorial Temperament Structure in Stuttering, Voice Disordered, and Normal Speaking Children.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: These data confirm that while stuttering, voice disordered, and typically developing children may differ quantitatively with regard to mean scores on temperament scales, they are similar in terms of their overall underlying temperament structure. The equivalence of temperament structure provides a basis for further comparison of mean group scores on the individual temperament scales.

Lipreading, Processing Speed, and Working Memory in Younger and Older Adults.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that the large individual variability in lipreading ability can be explained, in part, by individual differences in SWM and PS. Furthermore, as both of these abilities are known to decline with age, the findings suggest that age-related impairments in either or both of these abilities may account for the poorer lipreading ability of older compared with younger adults.

Characteristics of the Transition to Spoken Words in Two Young Cochlear Implant Recipients.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The children's expeditious gains in spoken word development appeared to be facilitated by interactions among their pre-implant hearing experiences, their relatively advanced physical, cognitive, and social maturity, participation in intervention programs, and the introduction of robust hearing within the Utterance Acquisition phase of language development as proposed in the Neurolingusitic theory (Locke, 1997).

Measurement of Speech Effort During Fluency-Inducing Conditions in Adults who Do and Do Not Stutter.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Self-rated speech effort differentiated the effects of four FI conditions on speech performance for adults who stuttered, with chorus reading best approximating normally fluent speech. More generally, self-ratings of speech effort appeared to constitute an independent, reliable, and validly interpretable dimension of fluency that may be useful in the measurement and treatment of stuttering.

Evidence for Adverse Phonatory Change Following an Inhaled Combination Treatment.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: IC treatments can have acute, adverse effects on phonation. Detrimental phonatory effects were elicited in participants with no self-reported voice problems. IC treatments are being increasingly prescribed across the lifespan. The current data increase our understanding of the nature of phonatory deterioration associated with IC treatment, and lay the groundwork for increased research effort to develop IC treatments that effectively control respiratory disease while minimizing an effect on phonation.

A rat excised larynx model of vocal fold scar.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The excised larynx model reported here demonstrated robust deterioration across phonatory indices under the scar condition and sensitivity to treatment-induced change under the bFGF condition. The improvement observed under the sham condition may reflect unanticipated therapeutic benefit or artifact. This model holds promise as a tool for the functional characterization of biomechanical tissue changes resulting from vocal fold scar and the evaluation of experimental therapies.

Effects of directional exercise on lingual strength.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings replicate those of earlier studies demonstrating that lingual strength may be increased with a variety of exercise protocols and confirm that detraining effects may be observed when training is discontinued. The findings further suggest that the lingual musculature may demonstrate less dramatic training specificity than what has been reported for skeletal muscles.

Speech perception abilities of adults with dyslexia: is there any evidence for a true deficit?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: The small number of group differences, and lack of consistent poor individual performance, suggests weak support for a speech perception deficit in dyslexia. It seems likely that at least some poor performances are attributable to non-sensory factors like attention. It may also be that some individuals with dyslexia have speech perceptual acuity that is at the lower end of the normal range and exacerbated by non-sensory factors.

Syntactic frames in fast mapping verbs: effect of age, dialect, and clinical status.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Regardless of dialect, children with specific language impairment have difficulty using syntactic frames to identify a likely meaning of a novel verb. In addition, the syntactic frames are differentially difficult, with complement structures being particularly hard.

School-Age Children Talk about Chess: Does Knowledge Drive Syntactic Complexity?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Language productivity and syntactic complexity in school-age children are strongly influenced by the speaking task. When children are presented with a motivating and challenging topic, they rise to the occasion to explain the finer details of it to a naïve adult.

On the Sensitivity and Specificity of Nonword Repetition and Sentence Recall to Language and Memory Impairments in Children.Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Developmental deficits may be specific to language or working memory, or include impairments in both areas. Sentence recall is a useful clinical marker of SLI and combined language and working memory impairments.

What influences literacy outcome in children with Speech Sound Disorder?Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
CONCLUSIONS: Results support previous literature findings that SSD history predicts literacy difficulties and that the association is strongest for SSD + LI. Magnitude of phonological impairment alone did not determine literacy outcome, as predicted by the core phonological deficit hypothesis. Instead, consistent with a multiple deficit approach, phonological deficits appeared to interact with other cognitive factors in literacy development.
