The effect of semantic set size on word learning by preschool children
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2009)Purpose The purpose was to determine whether semantic set size, a measure of the number of semantic neighbors, influenced word learning, and whether the influence of semantic set size was broad, showing effects on ... -
Developmental differences in the effects of phonological, lexical and semantic variables on word learning by infants
(Cambridge University Press, 2009)The influence of phonological (i.e. individual sounds), lexical (i.e. whole-word forms) and semantic (i.e. meaning) characteristics on the words known by infants age 1 ; 4 to 2 ; 6 was examined, using an existing database ... -
Differentiating Phonotactic Probability and Neighborhood Density in Adult Word Learning
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2006)Purpose The purpose of this study was to differentiate effects of phonotactic probability, the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence, and neighborhood density, the number of words that sound similar to a given ... -
Methods for Minimizing the Confounding Effects of Word Length in the Analysis of Phonotactic Probability and Neighborhood Density
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2004)Recent research suggests that phonotactic probability (the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence) and neighborhood density (the number of words phonologically similar to a given word) influence spoken language ... -
The Emerging Lexicon of Children With Phonological Delays
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2004)The effects of phonotactic constraints (i.e., the status of a sound as correctly or incorrectly articulated) and phonotactic probability (i.e., the likelihood of a sound sequence) on lexical acquisition have been investigated ... -
Learning New Words Phonotactic Probability in Language Development
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2001)Though the influences of syntactic and semantic regularity on novel word learning are well documented, considerably less is known about the influence of phono-logical regularities on lexical acquisition. The influence of ... -
Do children still pick and choose? The relationship between phonological knowledge and lexical acquisition beyond 50 words
(Taylor & Francis, 2004)Previous studies document an influence of phonological knowledge on word learning that differs across development. Specifically, children with expressive lexicons of fewer than 50 words learn words composed of IN sounds ... -
Individual differences in the influence of phonological characteristics on expressive vocabulary development by young children
(Cambridge University Press, 2006)The current study attempts to differentiate effects of phonotactic probability (i.e. the likelihood of occurrence of a sound sequence), neighbourhood density (i.e. the number of phonologically similar words), word frequency, ... -
The influence of known-word-frequency on the acquisition of new neighbors in adults: Evidence for exemplar representations in word-learning
(Taylor & Francis, 2014)Previous studies showed that a new word that is similar to many known words will be learned better than a new word that is similar to few known words (Storkel et al., 2006). In the present study we created novel words that ... -
Learning Vocabulary through Reading
(Speech Pathology Association of Australia, 2006)Children with early reading and vocabulary deficits often struggle in these areas across development. Although direct instruction is effective for teaching individual vocabulary words, it is time consuming, and may not be ... -
Using Nonword Repetition in Vocabulary Assessment
(Speech Pathology Association of Australia, 2006)Standardized vocabulary tests have been criticized for their cultural/experiential biases and insensitivity to word learning differences. This review discusses the utility of supplementing the diagnostic process with a ... -
Dynamic assessment and word learning
(Speech Pathology Association of Australia, 2006)Past studies indicate that standardized vocabulary tests may be insensitive to language impairments and may be culturally biased. Dynamic assessment may be used as an alternative or supplementary approach to measure a ... -
Teaching New Words to Children With Specific Language Impairment Using Interactive Book Reading
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2015) -
Learning and Remembering New Words: Clinical Illustrations From Children With Specific Language Impairment
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2015) -
Spontaneous Gestural Communication as a Predictor of Autism Spectrum Diagnosis in Children with Fragile X Syndrome
(University of Kansas, 2015-05-31)This study aimed to determine if early spontaneous gestural communication is a predictor of later Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis in children who have already been diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome (FXS). The ... -
Effects of Neighborhood Density and Noise on Children's Word Learning
(University of Kansas, 2014-12-31)Studies show that words are organized with similarity neighborhoods based on similar sound structure. Some words have many similar sounding words, while others have few. The number of neighbors a word has is called ... -
A Wireless Brain-Machine Interface for Real-Time Speech Synthesis
(Public Library of Science, 2009-12-09)Background Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) involving electrodes implanted into the human cerebral cortex have recently been developed in an attempt to restore function to profoundly paralyzed individuals. Current BMIs ... -
Orofacial fine motor control impairments in congenital spasticity: Evidence against hypertonusrelated performance deficits
(American Academy of Neurology, 1984-02-05)Motor impairments in the line force control of lips, tongue, and jaw were measured in subjects with congenital spasticity. Because these orofacial motor systems are not uniformly endowed with muscle spindles and monosynaptic ... -
Analysis of Successful Initiations of Three Children With Hearing Loss Mainstreamed in Kindergarten Classrooms
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 1995-03-05)The communicative interactions of three mainstreamed children who are deaf or hard of hearing (deaf/HOH) were investigated. These children were matched with a classmate who had normal hearing (NH) according to chronological ... -
Family Quality of Life Following Early Identification of Deafness
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2010-04-15)Purpose: Family members’ perceptions of their quality of life were examined following early identification of deafness in children. Method: A questionnaire was used to solicit ratings of satisfaction from the family ...
