Stress assignment in aphasia: Word and non-word reading and non-word repetition

Stress assignment in aphasia: word and non-word reading and non-word repetition.

This paper investigates stress assignment in Dutch aphasic patients in non-word repetition, as well as in real-word and non-word reading. Performance on the non-word reading task was similar for the aphasic patients and the control group, as mainly regular stress was assigned to the targets. However, there were group differences on the real-word reading and non-word repetition tasks. Unlike the...

Non-word repetition in adolescents with SLI

Running Head: Oromotor skill predicts non-word repetition ability Articulating novel words: children’s oromotor skills predict non-word repetition abilities

Purpose: Pronouncing a novel word for the first time requires the transformation of a newly encoded speech signal into a series of coordinated, exquisitely timed oromotor movements. Individual differences in children's ability to repeat novel nonwords are associated with vocabulary development and later literacy. Nonword repetition (NWR) is often used to test clinical populations. While phonolo...

A computational model of three non-word repetition tests

The non-word repetition test has been regularly used to examine children’s vocabulary acquisition, and yet there is no clear explanation of all of the effects seen in non-word repetition. This paper presents a study of 25 5-6 year-old children’s repetition performance on three non-word repetition tests that vary in the degree of their lexicality. EPAM-VOC, a model of children’s vocabulary acqui...
