Many studies have repeatedly shown an orthographic consistency effect in the auditory lexical decision task. Words with phonological rimes that could be spelled in multiple ways (i.e., inconsistent words) typically produce longer auditory lexical decision latencies and more errors than do words with rimes that could be spelled in only one way (i.e., consistent words). These results have been ex...

In this paper, I argue that phonological performance data provide information about phonological competence. An adequate model of phonological competence must hence be able to account for significant patterns observed in phonological performance data. Based on two word-likeness experiments, I point out some typical properties of phonological performance data, and then show how these properties ...

As shown by neuroscientific evidence, neglect may occur without elementary sensorimotor impairments. The deficit is to be found at a higher, more abstract level of representation, which prevents the patient not only from seeing, but from conceiving the contralesional space. By analysing a series of neuropsychological results, in this paper we suggest a crucial role of time for the construction ...

This study examined whether dyslexic children learning to read German show the same nonword reading deficit, which is characteristic of dyslexic children learning to read English (Rack, Olson, & Snowling, 1992), a deficit which is taken as evidence for a phonological impairment underlying dyslexia. Because the German writing system, in contrast to English, exhibits comparatively simple and stra...

Abstract Background Speech communication is a complex process based on the function of central nervous system, and also speech mechanisms conditioned controlled by auditory perception, verbal memory, intellectual activity peripheral apparatus. The aim this study was to determine prevalence most common phonological articulation disorders in preschool children, from 4-6 years old. Methods A cross...

Predictive pointing enables smart interfaces, which are capable of inferring the user intent, early in the pointing task, and accordingly assisting on-display target acquisitions (pointing and selection). It adopts a Bayesian framework to effectively model the user pointing behaviour and incorporate the present perturbations induced by situational impairments as well as inaccuracies in the util...

DISLEX is an artificial neural network model of the mental lexicon. It was built to test computationally whether the lexicon could consist of separate feature maps for the different lexical modalities and the lexical semantics, connected with ordered pathways. In the model, the orthographic, phonological, and semantic feature maps and the associations between them are formed in an unsupervised ...

Background/Aim. Psychophysiological disorders and speech pathology is one of the priority public health problems in Republic Serbia. A child?s growth development proceed a particular sequence course, depending on individual physiological capacities, quality neuromuscular structures, stimuli, which can be significantly affected by environment. The from birth to adult age result interaction neuro...

Chromosome 16p11.2 deletions and duplications are among the most frequent genetic etiologies of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other neurodevelopmental disorders, but detailed descriptions of their neurologic phenotypes have not yet been completed. We utilized standardized examination and history methods to characterize a neurologic phenotype in 136 carriers of 16p11.2 deletion and 110 carr...

INTRODUCTION The purpose of this study was to investigate whether attribution theory could explain speech-language pathologists (SLPs) perceptions of children with communication disorders such as stuttering. Specifically, it was determined whether perceptions of onset and offset controllability, as well as biological and non-biological attributions for communication disorders were related to wi...
