Cleary, Miranda; Wilkinson, Tracy; Wilson, Lauren; Goupell, Matthew J. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: Short-term and working memory vary across individuals and life span. Studies of how cochlear implant (CI) users remember spoken words often do not fully disentangle perceptual influences from memory assessment because stimulus identification is rarely checked; instead, correct perception is assumed by using simple or practiced stimuli.…

AuBuchon, Angela M.; Pisoni, David B.; Kronenberger, William G. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2015
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to report how "verbal rehearsal speed" (VRS), a form of covert speech used to maintain verbal information in working memory, and another verbal processing speed measure, perceptual encoding speed, are related to 3 domains of executive function (EF) at risk in cochlear implant (CI) users: verbal…

Lalonde, Kaylah; Holt, Rachael Frush – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2014
Purpose: This preliminary investigation explored potential cognitive and linguistic sources of variance in 2- year-olds' speech-sound discrimination by using the toddler change/no-change procedure and examined whether modifications would result in a procedure that can be used consistently with younger 2-year-olds. Method: Twenty typically…

Feld, Julia E.; Sommers, Mitchell S. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2009
Purpose: To examine several cognitive and perceptual abilities--including working memory (WM), information processing speed (PS), perceptual closure, and perceptual disembedding skill--as factors contributing to individual differences in lipreading performance and to examine how patterns in predictor variables change across age groups. Method:…

Dillon, Caitlin M.; Burkholder, Rose A.; Cleary, Miranda; Pisoni, David B. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2004
Seventy-six children with cochlear implants completed a nonword repetition task. The children were presented with 20 nonword auditory patterns over a loudspeaker and were asked to repeat them aloud to the experimenter. The children's responses were recorded on digital audiotape and then played back to normal-hearing adult listeners to obtain…

Mainela-Arnold, Elina; Evans, Julia L.; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2006
Purpose: The authors investigated mental representations of Piagetian conservation tasks in children with specific language impairment (SLI) and typically developing peers. Children with SLI have normal nonverbal intelligence; however, they exhibit difficulties in Piagetian conservation tasks. The authors tested the hypothesis that conservation…
