(American Association on Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, 2009-11-30)Purpose—The authors hypothesized that significant positive relationships would exist between early gesture use and later language attainments in children with fragile X syndrome (FXS), as has been reported in studies with ... -
Eye Tracking as a Measure of Receptive Vocabulary in Children with Autism Spectrum Disorders
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-06)This study examined the utility of eye tracking research technology to measure speech comprehension in 14 young boys with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and 15 developmentally matched boys with typical development. Using ... -
The perception of consonants in reverberation and noise by adults fitted with bimodal devices
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2014-08-01)Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the contribution of a contralateral hearing aid (HA) to the perception of consonants, in terms of voicing, manner, and place of articulation cues in reverberation and ... -
The effect of sustained maternal responsivity on later vocabulary development in children with Fragile X Syndrome
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2014-02)Purpose The research question addressed was whether sustained maternal responsivity (a parent-child interaction style characterized by warmth, nurturance and stability as well as specific behaviors such as contingent ... -
Predicting language outcomes for children learning AAC: Child and environmental factors
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2013-06-19)Purpose To investigate a model of language development for nonverbal preschool age children learning to communicate with AAC. Method Ninety-three preschool children with intellectual disabilities were assessed at ... -
On-line learning from input versus off-line memory evolution in adult word learning: Effects of neighborhood density and phonologically-related practice
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2014-10-01)Purpose This study investigates adult word learning to determine how neighborhood density and practice across phonologically-related training sets influence on-line learning from input during training versus off-line ... -
Is More Better? Milieu Communication Teaching in Toddlers With Intellectual Disabilities
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2012-12-28)Purpose The authors sought to determine whether a program of 5 weekly doses of milieu communication teaching (MCT) would yield improvements in children’s communication and word use compared with a once-weekly delivery ... -
Finiteness Marking in Boys with Fragile X Syndrome
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2012-12)Purpose This study investigated finite marking (e.g., he walks, he walked) in boys with fragile X syndrome; the boys were grouped based on receptive vocabulary (i.e., borderline, or impaired vocabulary). Method Twenty-one ... -
Defining Spoken Language Benchmarks and Selecting Measures of Expressive Language Development for Young Children With Autism Spectrum Disorders
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2009-06)Purpose The aims of this article are twofold: (a) to offer a set of recommended measures that can be used for evaluating the efficacy of interventions that target spoken language acquisition as part of treatment research ... -
Adult and Child Semantic Neighbors of the Kroll and Potter (1984) Nonobjects
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2009-04)Purpose The purpose was to determine the number of semantic neighbors, namely semantic set size, for 88 nonobjects (Kroll & Potter, 1984) and determine how semantic set size related to other measures and age. Method Data ... -
Effects of Language Context on Ratings of Shy and Unsociable Behaviors in English Language Learning Children
(American Speech-Language-Hearing Association, 2013-12-29)Purpose The primary goal of this study was to explore the effect of the language context on the socially withdrawn behaviors of school aged-children who are English Language Learners (ELLs) from middle to high SES ... -
Language growth and genetics of specific language impairment
(Informa Healthcare, 2014-06-01)Behavioural studies of children with specific language impairment (SLI) have reported long term growth outcomes across different dimensions of language. Genetic studies of children with SLI have identified candidate genes ... -
Consonant and syllable complexity of toddlers with Down syndrome and mixed-aetiology developmental delays
(Informa Healthcare, 2014-12-01)This study examines whether speech sound production of toddlers with Down syndrome (DS) is on par with or more severely impaired than that of mental age (MA) peers with developmental delay due to aetiologies other than ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
