Phonological Capabilities and Speech Understanding
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the present article we will review results from a number of studies conducted in our laboratory where the purpose has been to examine phonological processing capabilities in deafened adults and individuals with a severe hearingimpairment, and to relate their phonological processing skills to visual and audio-visual speech understanding performance. The results show that deafened adults and individuals with a severe hearing-impairment perform at a significantly lower level than normal hearing controls on cognitive tasks that explicitly require phonological processing, whereas there are no differences between the groups in cognitive tasks where the requirements of such processing are less explicit. The characteristics of the individuals ́ phonological processing skills are further correlated with visual speechreading and speech understanding with cochlear implants. The results are discussed with respect to what factors that might cause for a deterioration in phonological processing skills, and the effects on visual and audio-visual speech understanding.

In this article, we provide a critical review of the literature on speech perception and phonological processing in infancy, and in populations with different experiential histories as a window to understanding how the notion of critical periods might apply to the acquisition of one part of language: the sound system. We begin by suggesting the use of the term "optimal period" because (a) both ...

Objective: speech sound disorders are among the most common speech disorders in children. Non-speech oral motor exercises have long been used as a facilitative activity throughout therapy sessions for a wide variety of speech disorders by speech-language pathologists. But there are few empirical controlled data to evaluate its effectiveness. This study aimed at comparing the effects of therapeu...
متن کاملChild phonology analyzer: Processing and analyzing transcribed speech
This paper describes two algorithms for analyzing transcribed speech corpora: (1) identification of phonological processes, and (2) phonological queries. The algorithms are implemented in Visual Basic for Applications for Microsoft Excel, thus exploiting Excel’s mass‐calculation capabilities to analyze large corpora quickly. The user interface features a set of editable tables that contain defi...
