Sherlock Holmes and the Strange Case of the Missing Attribution: A Historical Note on "The Grandfather Passage"
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Reilly, Jamie; Fisher, Jamie L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2012
Purpose: In 1963, Charles Van Riper published "My Grandfather," a short reading passage that has evolved into a ubiquitous metric of reading ability and speech intelligibility. In this historical note, we describe several heretofore unacknowledged similarities between "The Grandfather Passage" (Darley, Aronson, & Brown, 1975) and a portion of "The…

Rib Torque Does Not Assist Resting Tidal Expiration or Most Conversational Speech Expiration
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Hixon, Thomas J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: This research note discusses a common misconception in speech science and speech-language pathology textbooks that rib torque (i.e., "rotational stress") assists resting tidal expiration and conversational speech production. Method: The nature of this misconception is considered. Conclusion: An alternate conceptualization is offered that…

Forced-Choice Analysis of Segmental Production by Chinese-Accented English Speakers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rogers, Catherine L.; Dalby, Jonathan – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
This study describes the development of a minimal-pairs word list targeting phoneme contrasts that pose difficulty for Mandarin Chinese-speaking learners of English as a second language. The target phoneme inventory was compiled from analysis of phonetic transcriptions of about 800 mono- and polysyllabic English words with examples of all the…

Application of Psychometric Theory to the Measurement of Voice Quality Using Rating Scales
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shrivastav, Rahul; Sapienza, Christine M.; Nandur, Vuday – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Rating scales are commonly used to study voice quality. However, recent research has demonstrated that perceptual measures of voice quality obtained using rating scales suffer from poor interjudge agreement and reliability, especially in the midrange of the scale. These findings, along with those obtained using multidimensional scaling (MDS), have…

Preschoolers Learning Hmong and English: Lexical-Semantic Skills in L1 and L2
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kan, Pui Fong; Konert, Kathryn – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Picture naming and picture identification tasks were used to investigate lexical-semantic skills in young children learning Hmong as a first language (L1) and English as a second language (L2). A total of 19 children, ages 3; 4 (years; months)-5; 2, participated in this study. Performance on lexical tasks was analyzed as a function of development…

The Incidence of Error in Young Children's Wh-Questions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rowland, Caroline F.; Pine, Julian M.; Lieven, Elena V.M.; Theaksto, Anna L. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Many current generativist theorists suggest that young children possess the grammatical principles of inversion required for question formation but make errors because they find it difficult to learn language-specific rules about how inversion applies. The present study analyzed longitudinal spontaneous sampled data from twelve 2-3-year-old…

A Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging Investigation of Verbal Working Memory in Adolescents with Specific Language Impairment
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Weismer, Susan Ellis; Plante, Elena; Jones, Maura; Tomblin, Bruce J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
This study used neuroimaging and behavioral techniques to examine the claim that processing capacity limitations underlie specific language impairment (SLI). Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was used to investigate verbal working memory in adolescents with SLI and normal language (NL) controls. The experimental task involved a modified…

Differences at 17 Months: Productive Language Patterns in Infants at Familial Risk for Dyslexia and Typically Developing Infants
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koster, Charlotte; Been, Pieter H.; Krikhaar, Evelien M.; Zwarts, Frans; Diepstra, Heidi D.; Van Leeuwen, Theo H. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Productive vocabulary composition is investigated in 17-month-old children who are participating in an ongoing longitudinal dyslexia research project in the Netherlands. The project is searching for early precursors for dyslexia and follows a group of children who are genetically at risk for dyslexia and a control group during the first 10 years…

Age 13 Language and Reading Outcomes in Late-Talking Toddlers
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Rescorla, Leslie – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Language and reading outcomes at 13 years of age were examined in 28 children identified at 24 to 31 months as late talkers, all of whom came from middle--to upper-class socioeconomic status (SES) families and had normal nonverbal ability and age-adequate receptive language at intake. Late talkers were compared with a group of 25 typically…

The Association between Cardiovascular Disease and Cochlear Function in Older Adults
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Torre, Peter, III; Cruickshanks, Karen J.; Klein, Barbara E.K.; Klein, Ronald; Nondahl, David M. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
The purpose of this research was to evaluate the relation between self-reported cardiovascular disease (CVD) and cochlear function in older adults. The Epidemiology of Hearing Loss Study (EHLS) is an ongoing population-based study of hearing loss and its risk factors in Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. As part of the EHLS questionnaire, participants were…

Effects of Age and Hearing Loss on Gap Detection and the Precedence Effect: Narrow-Band Stimuli
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lister, Jennifer J.; Roberts, Richard A. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Deficits in temporal resolution and/or the precedence effect may underlie part of the speech understanding difficulties experienced by older listeners in degraded acoustic environments. In a previous investigation, R. Roberts and J. Lister (2004) identified a positive correlation between measures of temporal resolution and the precedence effect,…

Auditory Brainstem Responses in Young Males with Fragile X Syndrome
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Roberts, Joanne; Hennon, Elizabeth A.; Anderson, Kathleen; Roush, Jackson; Gravel, Judith; Skinner, Martie; Misenheimer, Jan; Reitz, Patricia – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is the most common inherited cause of mental retardation resulting in developmental delays in males. Atypical outer ear morphology is characteristic of FXS and may serve as a marker for abnormal auditory function. Despite this abnormality, studies of the hearing of young males with FXS are generally lacking. A few studies…

The Haskins Optically Corrected Ultrasound System
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Whalen, D. H.; Iskarous, Khalil; Tiede, Mark K.; Ostry, David J.; Lehnert-LeHouillier, Heike; Vatikiotis-Bateson, Eric; Hailey, Donald S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2005
The tongue is critical in the production of speech, yet its nature has made it difficult to measure. Not only does its ability to attain complex shapes make it difficult to track, it is also largely hidden from view during speech. The present article describes a new combination of optical tracking and ultrasound imaging that allows for a…
