Cognitive anxiety as a function of speaker role for fluent speakers and persons who stutter

DiLollo, Anthony; Manning, Walter H.; Neimeyer, Robert A. (Elsevier, 2003)

Fransella [Personal change and reconstruction. London: Academic Press] suggested that persons who stutter experience a lack of meaningfulness of their fluent speaker role and demonstrated that a Personal Construct Psychology ...
Communication opportunities provided to children with special needs: preliminary data

Tsai, Meng-Ju; Scherz, Julie W. (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)

Five toddler classrooms were observed two times each to gather information about communication opportunities provided to children with developmental disabilities. 288 10-second blocks were observed during four types of ...
A comparative analysis of atypical and typical spelling abilities

Scott, Christine M. (2007-05)

The spelling abilities of older students with atypical spelling were compared to younger spelling-age matched students with typical spelling. The purpose was to determine if older students performed similarly to the younger ...
Contersational contribution between AAC users and typically speaking partners

Tsai, Meng-Ju (Wichita State University, 2009-12)

The purpose of this study was to investigate the contributions of conversation dyads involving individuals who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) devices and their typically speaking conversation partners, ...
Contralateral suppression of distortion product otoacoustic emissions and the middle-ear muscle reflex in human ears

Sun, Xiao-Ming (Elsevier BV, 2008-03)

Distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) were measured in the absence and presence of contralateral noise at five levels--below, equal to, and above the middle-ear muscle (MEM) reflex threshold. The resultant ...
Determining optimal Spanish words for inclusion in assessments that evaluate children’s phonological patterns

Prezas, Raúl Francisco; Hodson, Barbara Williams, 1937- (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2007-04-27)

A critical need exists for unbiased speech/language assessment instruments for all children, but especially for children who speak a language other than English (e.g., Spanish). According to the National Clearinghouse for ...
Distortion product otoacoustic emission fine structure is responsible for variability of distortion product otoacoustic emission contralateral suppression

Sun, Xiao-Ming (Acoustical Society of America, 2008-06)

Alteration of the distortion product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE) level by a contralateral sound, which is known as DPOAE contralateral suppression, has been attributed to the feedback mechanism of the medial olivocochlear ...
Do babies increase vocabulary by viewing baby media?

Carlson, Tara; Strattman, Kathy H. (Wichita State University. Graduate School., 2008-04-25)

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that children under two years of age not watch TV or other electronic screens; however, the number of videos targeted at this age group continues to increase. Marketers claim ...
Ear canal pressure variations versus negative middle ear pressure: comparison using distortion product otoacoustic emission measurement in humans

Sun, Xiao-Ming (Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins, 2012)

Objective: For more than a century, positive and/or negative ear canal air pressure (ECP) has often been employed to simulate negative middle ear pressure (MEP) in exploring the latter's effect on hearing sensitivity and ...
Effects of aging on the precedence effect in sound localization

Cranford, Jerry L.; Boose, Martha; Moore, Christopher A. (American Speech - Language - Hearing Association, 1990-12)

The precedence effect in sound localization can be evoked by presenting identical sounds (e.g., clicks) from pairs of loudspeakers placed on opposite sides of a subject's head. With appropriate inter-loudspeaker delays, ...
Effects of body position and vision on speech understanding

Dorsey, Erica M.; Stone, Kayla (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

Twenty-four young adults with normal hearing, vision and balance completed the BKN-SIN Test under four conditions: Sitting versus standing with eyes open versus blindfolded. Subjects’ SNR-50 scores did not differ significantly ...
The effects of contextualization on fluency in three groups of children

Trautman, Lisa Scott; Healey, E. Charles; Norris, Janet A. (American Speech - Language - Hearing Association, 2001-06)

This study investigated the effects of contextualization on fluency in 12 school-age children who stutter (CWS), 11 children with language impairment (CLI), and 12 children with normally developing fluency skills (CNF). ...
Effects of input processing and type of personal frequency modulation system on speech-recognition performance of adults with cochlear implants

Wolfe, Jace; Schafer, Erin; Parkinson, Aaron; John, Andrew; Hudson, Mary; Wheeler, Julie; Mucci, Angie (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2013-01)

Objectives: The objective of this study was to compare speech recognition in quiet and in noise for cochlear implant recipients using two different types of personal frequency modulation (FM) systems (directly coupled ...
Effects of negative middle-ear pressure on auditory steady state responses: a preliminary study

Nguyen, Kieu (Wichita State University. Graduate School, 2010-04-23)

The auditory steady-state response (ASSR) is a type of auditory evoked potentials, which are electrical activities of the auditory system in the presence of sounds and recorded with electrodes from the scalp. Research has ...
Effects of negative middle ear pressure on distortion product otoacoustic emissions and application of a compensation procedure in humans

Sun, Xiao-Ming; Shaver, Mark D. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2009-04)

This study was intended to systematically examine the effect of negative middle ear pressure (MEP) on distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) and to validate a compensation procedure to account for negative MEP ...
Effects of neocortical lesions on the P300 component of the auditory evoked response

Obert, Allan D.; Cranford, Jerry L. (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 1990-11)

P300 event-related potentials were recorded in 10 subjects with neocortical lesions, and 10 control subjects, using a basic oddball paradigm. In separate tests, subjects discriminated rare and frequent tones that differed ...
The effects of phonotactic and orthotactic probabilities on orthographic fast-mapping in kindergarten children with and without typical language abilities
