- 1From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: Language acquisition is predictive of successful reading development, but the nature of this link is poorly understood. Method: A sample of 7,179 twin pairs was assessed on parent-report measures of syntax and...
- 2From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: Research suggests that children with reading disabilities (RD) have difficulty processing temporal and spectral components of sounds. Comodulation masking release (CMR) measures a listener's ability to use...
- 3From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is caused by the loss of the cytoskeletal protein, dystrophin. The disease leads to severe and progressive skeletal muscle wasting. Interestingly, the disease spares some...
- 4From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: To investigate the efficacy of parent--Child interaction therapy (PCIT) with young children who stutter. Method: This is a longitudinal, multiple single-subject study. The participants were 6 children aged...
- 5From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: A study was conducted that examined factors that lead children who stutter at around age 8 years to persist in the disorder when they reach age 12 years. Method: Seventy-six children were verified to be...
- 6From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedTITLE: Respiratory and Laryngeal Function During Spontaneous Speaking in Teachers With Voice Disorders Authors: Soren Y. Lowell, Julie M. Barkmeier-Kraemer, Jeannette D. Hoit, and Brad H. Story Journal of Speech,...
- 7From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This investigation explored the utility of an acoustic measure, called the discreteness of voicing category (DOVC), in identifying voicing errors in stop consonants produced by children with cochlear implants....
- 8From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This study examined children's word learning in limited and extended high-frequency bandwidth conditions. These conditions represent typical listening environments for children with hearing loss (HL) and...
- 9From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This study compared movement characteristics of markers attached to the jaw, lower lip, tongue blade, and dorsum during production of selected English vowels by normal speakers and speakers with dysarthria due...
- 10From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedBackground: A number of different systems have been suggested for classifying language impairment in children but, to date, no one system has been widely accepted. Method: This paper outlines an alternative system...
- 11From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This study investigated the influence of fundamental frequency (F0) and sound pressure level (SPL) range on respiratory behavior in classical singing. Method: Five trained female singers performed an 8-s messa...
- 12From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This study was designed to determine the extent to which high-frequency amplification helped or hindered speech recognition as a function of hearing loss, gain-frequency response, and background noise. Method:...
- 13From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This study examined how repeated presentations of words in noise affected understanding of both trained and untrained words in noise (in isolation and in sentences). Method: Eight older listeners with hearing...
- 14From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: To examine the relation between vowel production characteristics and intelligibility. Method: Acoustic characteristics of 10 vowels produced by 45 men and 48 women from the J. M. Hillenbrand, L. A. Getty, M....
- 15From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: The hypothesis that the linguistic deficit presented by children with specific language impairment (SLI) is caused by limited cognitive resources (e.g., S. Ellis Weismer & L. Hesketh, 1996) was tested against...

Speech disruptions in the narratives of English-speaking children with specific language impairment.
Purpose: This study examined the types, frequencies, and distribution of speech disruptions in the spoken narratives of children with specific language impairment (SLI) and their age-matched (CA) and language-matched... - 17From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: This study examined the relationship between listener comprehension and intelligibility scores for speakers with mild, moderate, severe, and profound dysarthria. Relationships were examined across all speakers...
- 18From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: Sensitivity of subjective estimates of age of acquisition (AOA) and acquisition channel (AC; printed, spoken, signed) to differences in word exposure within and between populations that differ dramatically in...
- 19From: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research. (Vol. 51, Issue 3) Peer-ReviewedPurpose: The present study examines the effect of normal aging on respiratory support for speech when utterance length is controlled. Method: Fifteen women (M = 71 years of age) and 10 men (M = 73 years of age)...
