Executive Function Predicts Artificial Language Learning in Children and Adults
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)Prior research has established an executive function advantage among bilinguals as compared to monolingual peers. These non-linguistic cognitive advantages are largely assumed to result from the experience of managing two ... -
Assessing two-year-olds' knowledge of number agreement morphology
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)Previous research in the area of children's knowledge of number agreement morphology has yielded mixed results. Some researchers have found evidence for sensitivity to agreement morphology at as early as 16 months, while ... -
Auditory Responses in Normal-Hearing, Noise-Exposed Ears
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)Recent investigations in animal ears have described temporary noise-induced hearing loss with permanent deafferentation for up to 50% of auditory nerve fibers in the high-frequency region of the cochlea (Kujawa and Liberman, ... -
Directive Language Input to Children Born Preterm and Full Term
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)The mothers of children born preterm face many challenges in the formation of high-quality dyadic interactions with their children. Because children born preterm are at risk for many neurodevelopmental delays, it is important ... -

Learning to Read Chinese: The Relative Roles of Phonological Awareness and Morphological Awareness
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)Phonological awareness and morphological awareness have been shown to affect Chinese children's reading development. Previous studies conducted in Hong Kong, which required children to read two-character words only or a ... -
Influence of Misarticulation on Preschoolers' Word Recognition
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)Previous research has shown that children are sensitive to speech variability in dialect and accent, and can extract information about the speaker. Misarticulated speech is a form of variability that children encounter in ... -
The Effect of Electrode Placement on Cochlear Implant Function and Outcomes
(University of Kansas, 2013-12-31)Cochlear implants have been an effective treatment for restoring profound sensorineural hearing loss to those who do not benefit from traditional hearing aids. Advances in surgical technique and electrode design allow for ... -
Toward epigenetic and gene regulation models of specific language impairment: looking for links among growth, genes, and impairments
(BioMed Central, 2012-11-24)Children with specific language impairment (SLI) are thought to have an inherited form of language impairment that spares other developmental domains. SLI shows strong heritability and recent linkage and association studies ... -
THE EFFECT OF CONTRALATERAL PURE TONES ON THE COMPOUND ACTION POTENTIAL IN HUMANS
(University of Kansas, 2013-08-31)The compound action potential (CAP) has been suggested in the literature as an alternative to otoacoustic emissions (OAE) for evaluating the efferent auditory system, and is thought to overcome some of the drawbacks ... -
The effects of a facilitated online blog on the quality of communication life of adolescents and young adults with autism specrum disorders
(University of Kansas, 2013-05-31)The quality of life, specifically the quality of communication life, of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) is lower than those with no disability or with physical disabilities. This disparity stems from ... -

SECONDARY CLASSROOM VOCABULARY: DATA FROM TYPICALLY DEVELOPING STUDENTS
(University of Kansas, 2012-05-31)Students who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) need access to specific vocabulary to participate fully in general education classrooms. To date, there is no research on the vocabulary used in secondary ... -
Electrocochleographic Recordings from the Eardrum: Variations and Effects of Electrode Location in Normal Subjects
(University of Kansas, 2012-08-31)Objectives: The primary goals of this study are to observe the degree of variation of the tymptrode position on the TM and the marker's area size among a population of adult subjects with normal hearing, and to investigate ... -
Children's Responses to Grammatically Complete and Incomplete Prompts to Imitate
(University of Kansas, 2012-08-31)Purpose: Various language intervention programs instruct clinicians and parents of children with language learning difficulty to expand their child's utterance by adding one or two words. This often results in a telegraphic ... -
