(2011-08-08)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe purpose of this study was to experimentally investigate the behavioral correlates of emotional reactivity and emotion regulation and their relation to speech (dis)fluency in preschool-age children who do (CWS) and do ...
-
(2019-07-16)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesPhonological encoding is an important stage of speech production in which lexical forms are mapped onto articulatory plans. Previous research has shown that phonological encoding generally depends on brain regions in the ...
-
(2019-03-22)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe purpose of this study was to objectively characterize speech-language pathologists’ (SLPs’) language science knowledge. We investigated language science knowledge in the domains of (a) explicit phonemic awareness, which ...
-
(2015-04-30)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesTinnitus affects approximately 50 million people in the United States (U.S.) and can be a challenging problem to address. Many treatments for tinnitus have been proposed, including acupuncture and hypnosis. Efficacy ...

(2009-12-17)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesASSESSMENT OF A MEASURE OF RESPONSE CONFIDENCE FOR A SPEECH RECOGNITION TASK IN NOISE JOHN ANDREW DUNDAS Dissertation under the direction of Gary P Jacobson, Ph.D. The development of a measure of response confidence ...
-
(2016-07-29)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesInteraural time (ITD) and level differences (ILD) are susceptible to distortion by multipath acoustics due to reverberation, echoes, and potentially with open-fit, behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids, which pose an additional ...
-
(2019-08-08)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesCognitive rehabilitation following brain injury rests on the ability of clinicians to support their patients’ (re)learning of knowledge, skills, and strategies. Learning and memory are therefore central to the success of ...
-
(2017-03-22)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe ability to adequately perceive and utilize the prosody of spoken language is important for successful communication. Children with hearing loss who use cochlear implants have demonstrated deficits in perception of ...
-
(2016-05-25)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThere is an ongoing need for public health information in pediatric speech-language pathology and newly adopted electronic health record procedures in clinics provide an opportunity to address this need. One-year outcomes ...
-
(2019-07-15)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesApproximately 80% of young children who begin stuttering fall below diagnostic thresholds of stuttering (i.e., exhibit recovery) within four to five years of onset. To investigate characteristics that may differentiate ...
-
(2013-10-21)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe purpose of this study was to explore the extent to which preschool teachers use complex syntax in their verbal interactions with preschool children. Of interest was whether the amount of complex syntax preschool teachers ...
-
(2018-11-20)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe human auditory system locates sound sources in the horizontal plane using differences in the interaural arrival time and intensity level of the signal (ITD and ILD, respectively). Because these two cues are the primary ...
-
(2012-10-30)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesHistorically, spelling has been considered an academic skill that relies primarily on visual memory. Recent research indicates that spelling skill is also dependent on linguistic knowledge. However, the contribution of ...
-
(2016-11-09)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesPurpose: The purpose of the current study was to investigate cortical associates of emotional reactivity and emotion regulation (as indexed by the amplitude of evoked response potentials [ERP]) in young children who do ...
-
(2017-11-21)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesIt is well documented that noise has a detrimental effect on speech processing and that speech-in-noise perception abilities continue to develop into adolescence. However, our understanding of the mechanism by which ...
-
(2014-06-27)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesChildren with Specific Language Impairment (SLI) can present with deficits in receptive, expressive, or both modalities of vocabulary. Although typically developing children demonstrate vocabulary generalization from the ...
-
(2018-12-20)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe present work describes a series of EEG / ERP studies conducted to develop a short passive paradigm that is sensitive to the detection of cortical markers of auditory processing and social motivation. A novel oddball ...
-
(2010-08-06)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThe brain is continuously processing many sources of sensory information. One of the key strategies it uses to determine what stimuli are associated with one another is the temporal delay between multisensory inputs. ...
-
(2010-09-15)Department: Hearing and Speech SciencesThis project is concerned with the relationship between type-1 diabetes and auditory pathology. In this dissertation I compared hearing sensitivity, cochlear function, and peripheral auditory neural function (afferent and ...
