Visual information augments our understanding of auditory speech. New evidence shows that infants' gaze fixations to the mouth and eye region shift predictably with changes in age and language familiarity.

Screening for speech problems in the dental office involves less than five minutes. Procedures include the sampling of a child's pronunciations in counting activities, word responses to pictures or questions, and conversational speech situations. Use of a normative sound development chart will help judge each child's pronunciation skills. Oral diadochokinetic testing provides a means of evaluat...

To investigate the neural network of overt speech production, event-related fMRI was performed in 9 young healthy adult volunteers. A clustered image acquisition technique was chosen to minimize speech-related movement artifacts. Functional images were acquired during the production of oral movements and of speech of increasing complexity (isolated vowel as well as monosyllabic and trisyllabic ...

This article highlights the need to use a system of exercises for development oral speech. Also, in this paper, various points view scientists are considered, information is analyzed and own arguments given regarding English classes improve The relevance lies fact that it gives concept some types kinds exercises, considers several as well techniques with which teachers can effectively speech st...

In the first phase of this paper, we describe the construction of a Bangla speech synthesizer. In the second phase, we discuss our work on Bangla nasal vowel. Nasality is one of the distinctive characteristic of Bangla phonemes. We discuss methods employed for transforming Bangla oral vowel to the corresponding nasal vowel counterpart and its application to our speech synthesizer. The perceptua...

It is likely that the timing of the speech can affect velopharyngeal function and the opening and closing of the velopharyngeal port, but we do not have a good understanding of how speech timing affects the control of the velopharyngeal opening and closing. The purpose of this project is to study the effect of two speech-timing conditions on velopharyngeal function in individuals with normal sp...

Children born with palatal clefts are at risk for speech/language delay and speech problems related to palatal insufficiency. These individuals require regular speech evaluations, starting in the first year of life and often continuing into adulthood. The primary role of the speech pathologist on the cleft palate/craniofacial team is to evaluate whether deviations in oral cavity structures, suc...

Background: The first purpose of this study was to investigate the rate of oral and laryngeal Diadochokinesis (DDK) in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients in comparison with healthy people. The second goal was to determine if DDK rate has any relationship with the disease progression. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, two groups were enroll...

metastatic tumors account for 1% of all oral malignancies. metastasis to jaw bones is common, particularly in the mandible, rare in the oral soft tissues, and account for only 0.1% of oral malignancies. the majority of metastatic cases (70%) reported in the literature have primary tumors located in the lung, breast, kidney, and colon. metastasis is a biological complex process that involves det...
