Dyadic Coordination of Vocalizations and Pauses in Autistic Children and their Caregivers
There is emerging evidence that infants with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) demonstrate differences in dyadic coordination of vocalization and pauses with their caregivers throughout infancy and childhood compared to ... -
Examination of Perceptual Subgroups of Ataxic Dysarthria Through Auditory Free Classification
AbstractExamination of Perceptual Subgroups of Ataxic Dysarthria Through Auditory Free Classification Haley Bouchard Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Kristie Spencer Speech and Hearing Sciences Ataxic dysarthria ... -
Relationships Between Auditory Discrimination and Adaptation of Vocal Features of Speech
The current study evaluated relationships between auditory discrimination and adaptation of vocal features of speech. Previous research suggests relationships between auditory discrimination and adaptation of articulatory ... -
Validity and Reliability of Auditory-Perceptual Scales for the Assessment of Stuttering Severity
The current study investigated the appropriateness of equal appearing interval scaling, direct magnitude estimation scaling, and visual analog scaling for assessing stuttering severity by determining whether the continuum ... -
Examining the perspectives of augmentative and alternative communication specialists on conducting evaluations with people with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis via telehealth
Purpose: To examine the perspectives of speech language pathologists (SLPs), who are augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) specialists working with people with ALS (pALS), on conducting SGD evaluations via ... -
Sequence learning on motor and non-motor tasks in people who stutter
The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in sequence learning in people who stutter (PWS) and people who are typically fluent (PWTF) using both implicit and explicit sequence learning paradigms while ... -
Procedural Learning in Adults with and without Developmental Language Disorder: The Influence of Manual Motor Demands
The purpose of this research project was to determine differences in procedural learning in adults with and without developmental language disorder (DLD) when manual motor output is and is not required for a learning task. ... -
Driving Forces: Mobility and Environmental Language in Children with Cerebral Palsy
Independent mobility is an important milestone in early childhood that typically emerges alongside communication milestones. Early provision of powered mobility devices for children with physical disabilities has been ... -
Hemispheric lateralization of speech perception in infancy and childhood: A systematic review
Past neuroimaging research has shown left hemisphere dominance for the neural processing of speech in the mature adult brain. How this hemispheric asymmetry develops however, remains largely unknown. It is unclear whether ... -
Investigating Perceptual Subgroups in Speakers with Ataxic Dysarthria: An Auditory Free- Classification Approach
Ataxic dysarthria has presented with considerable heterogeneity in the presentation of speech characteristics. Converging evidence supports the existence of subgroups, specifically related to the instability and inflexibility ... -
The Relationship Between Dysarthria, Primary Motor Profile, and Cognition in Idiopathic Parkinson’s Disease
While previously considered purely a motor disorder, Parkinson’s disease (PD) is now recognized as a complex constellation of motor and non-motor symptoms. Current research to better understand the heterogeneity of symptoms ... -
Neural dynamics of the motor system in speech perception
The role of the motor system in speech perception has provoked considerable debate over the past 50 years. Motor and sensory cortices are traditionally thought to be functionally separate systems. However, many studies ... -
Design and implementation of digital aids to empower struggling readers
Decades of research have established effective curricula for struggling readers. In the digital age, educational technologies expand access to apps and resources to supplement classroom instruction, but most lack scientific ... -
Can computational models of reading aloud account for how individuals who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing read?
Purpose: This paper proposes modifications to two current computational models of reading aloud - the Dual Route Cascaded (DRC) Model and the Connectionist Dual Process (CDP++) Model, that are specific to individuals who ... -
Linguistic Predictors of Anomia Treatment Outcomes
Many people with anomia (PWA), or word-finding difficulties, seek treatment to ameliorate their deficits; however, it is unclear why some PWA experience significant acquisition, generalization, and maintenance of the skills ... -
Inter-disciplinary Reliability of an Instrument to Measure Patient-Provider Communication During Medical Interactions
Effective communication between patients with communication disorders and their healthcare providers is essential in maintaining a high quality and efficiency of medical services and care. The University of Washington has ... -
Investigating Perceptual Subgroups of Ataxic Dysarthria
Ataxic dysarthria can present with considerable variation of symptoms, bringing into question whether it is a single entity. Recent evidence suggests that subgroups of ataxic dysarthria may exist and likely emerge from ... -
Examining the impact of resilience on communicative participation in individuals with Parkinson’s Disease
Communicative participation is defined as taking part in life situations where knowledge, information, ideas, and feelings are exchanged. Communicative participation has been shown to be impacted by various psychosocial ... -
The effect of speaker-specific information on perceptual voice rating tasks
The effect of speaker-specific information on perceptual voice rating tasks Cara Sauder Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Tanya Eadie Speech & Hearing Sciences Auditory-perceptual voice assessment and ... -
Sensorimotor learning and control in individuals who stutter
Despite accumulating evidence that stuttering is associated with deficiencies in sensorimotor integration, the exact mechanisms underlying this disorder of speech fluency remain not only unknown but controversial. Since ...
