Do Children with Fragile X Syndrome Show Declines or Plateaus in Adaptive Behavior?
(American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2015-09-01)This study explores if children with fragile X syndrome (FXS) show advances, declines, or plateaus in adaptive behavior over time and the relationship of nonverbal cognitive abilities and autistic behavior on these ... -
Interactive Book Reading to Accelerate Word Learning by Kindergarten Children With Specific Language Impairment: Identifying an Adequate Intensity and Variation in Treatment Response
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2016-05-27)Purpose. This study seeks to identify an adequate intensity of interactive book reading for new word learning by children with SLI and to examine variability in treatment response. Method. An escalation design adapted ... -
THE USE OF SENTENCE STRUCTURE AND PRAGMATIC CUES IN NOVEL VERB LEARNING: A CROSS-LINGUISTIC STUDY OF MANDARIN CHINESE AND ENGLISH
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)As children hear a novel verb in a NOUN-VERB-NOUN (i.e., NVN) structure, they generally infer that the verb is transitive, like the verb “hit” (Naigles, 1990; Yuan, Fisher, & Snedeker, 2012). However, the relationship ... -
The Impact of Semi-Occluded Vocal Tract Exercises on Vocal Function in Singers: Straw Phonation vs. Lip Trill
(University of Kansas, 2016-08-31)Singing and acting teachers have used semi-occluded vocal tract exercises (SOVTs) for many years to help elicit easier and more efficient vocal production. There is limited research on SOVTs and the application to singers. ... -
The Effects of Phonotactic Probability and Neighborhood Density on Adults' Word Learning In Noisy Conditions
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2016-11)Purpose: Noisy conditions make auditory processing difficult. This study explores whether noisy conditions impact the effects of phonotactic probability (the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence) and neighborhood ... -
Electrocorticographic representations of segmental features in continuous speech
(Frontiers Media, 2015-02-24)Acoustic speech output results from coordinated articulation of dozens of muscles, bones and cartilages of the vocal mechanism. While we commonly take the fluency and speed of our speech productions for granted, the neural ... -
Spatio-Temporal Progression of Cortical Activity Related to Continuous Overt and Covert Speech Production in a Reading Task
(Public Library of Science, 2016-11-22)How the human brain plans, executes, and monitors continuous and fluent speech has remained largely elusive. For example, previous research has defined the cortical locations most important for different aspects of speech ... -
Spatio-temporal Progression of Cortical Activity Related to Continuous Overt and Covert Speech Production in a Reading Task (Dataset)
This dataset provides the individual ECoG broadband power and speech intensity envelope from eight participant obtained according to the procedures in, “Spatio-temporal Progression of Cortical Activity Related to Continuous ... -
Intensive Eye Gaze Training for AAC Access: A Case Study
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)This was a case study investigating intensive eye gaze intervention for accessing an augmentative and alternative communication device. The participant was an individual with cortical visual impairment and other comorbid ... -
Exploring learning potentials of late talking children through a structured dynamic assessment
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Late talking children have variable language trajectories. Some spontaneously “catch up” with their peers before early school age and some late talking children are later diagnosed with specific language impairments. ... -
Early Home Literacy Practices of the Prairie Band Potawatomi People
(University of Kansas, 2016-05-31)Home experiential differences theory suggest Native American (NA) students face unfamiliar customs when attempting to navigate U.S. public schools, which places them at a disadvantage for academic success compared to their ... -
Comparison of native and non-native phone imitation by English and Spanish speakers
(Frontiers Media, 2013-07-25)Experiments investigating phonetic convergence in conversation often focus on interlocutors with similar phonetic inventories. Extending these experiments to those with dissimilar inventories requires understanding the ... -
Markedness and the grammar in lexical diffusion of fricatives
(Taylor & Francis, 2002)This paper examines the contributions of markedness and a child's grammar to the process of lexical diffusion in phonological acquisition. Archival data from 19 preschoolers with functional phonological delays were submitted ... -
The effect of probabilistic phonotactics on lexical acquisition
(Taylor & Francis, 2000)The effect of probabilistic phonotactics on lexical acquisition in typically developing children was examined to determine whether a lexical or sublexical level of language processing dominates lexical acquisition. Sixty-one ... -

Lexical Influences on Interword Variation

Whole-Word versus Part-Word Phonotactic Probability/Neighborhood Density in Word Learning by Children

Learning New Words II: Phonotactic Probability in Verb-learning
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2003)Phonotactic probability, a measure of the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence, appears to facilitate noun learning (H. L. Storkel, 2001). Nouns and verbs, however, tend to differ in rate of acquisition, indicating ... -
The lexicon and phonology: Interactions in language acquisition
(Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2002)The purpose of this paper is to underscore the importance of the link between lexical and phonological acquisition by considering learning by children beyond the 50-word stage and by applying cognitive models of spoken ... -
