Aging Effects on Perception of Parkinsonian and Normal Geriatric Speech
Slaten, Anna (2015-07-01)Parkinson disease (PD) is frequently associated with speech and voice deficits, including changes in phonatory, articulatory, speech intelligibility, and prosodic aspects (Spencer, Sanchez, McAllen, & Weir, 2010). Prior ... -
Application of Altered Auditory Feedback Within the Framework of Motor Learning Guided Approach in People with Parkinson's Disease
Howard, Bethany Jo (2019-05-01)The current study assessed the speech intelligibility retention gains in 4 people with Parkinson's disease through the use of Delayed Auditory Feedback (DAF) and the motor learning guided approach (MLGA). In this single-case ... -
Comparison of Name-Writing Ability to Motor and Phonological Abilities in Preschool-Aged Children
Yanez, Carolina (2019-08)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine whether there is a relationship between name-writing and phonological development and name-writing and motor abilities in preschool aged children through a correlational ... -
Comparison of rule-based learning in monolinguals and multilinguals
Wendelbo, Sarah (2020-05)The majority of multilingual research has studied monolinguals and bilinguals; however, with the increasing number of multilinguals, it is imperative to focus on multilingual language acquisition and retention. The current ... -
Disentangling Frequency and Talker Variability in a Statistical Learning Task Investigating Child Speech Acquisition
Good, Amanda Koehn (2017-05-01)Past research suggests that statistical patterns in a child’s native language influence the child’s speech production accuracy (Stoel-Gammon, 1998; Plante, Bahl, Vance, & Gerken, 2011). In addition to hearing some forms ... -
Effect of sleep-based consolidation on speech motor learning
Redman, Katelyn (2023-05)This study investigated the effect of sleep on motor speech learning. Forty-five participants practiced a non-meaningful speech phrase and were tested later for retention. Testing occurred 12-24 hours after practice. ... -
Effects of delayed auditory feedback and structured motor learning approach in enhancing speech intelligibility in individuals with Parkinson's disease: A proof-of-concept study
Raines, Claudia (2022-05)The proposed study assessed speech intelligibility gains and long-term retention, if any, through administering delayed auditory feedback (DAF) to people with hypokinetic dysarthria secondary to Parkinson's disease (HPSPD) ... -
Fluency Patterns of Adult Females with Focal Epilepsy
Walters, Rebecca T. (2019-05-01)The purpose of this study was to determine the fluency patterns in female adults diagnosed with focal epilepsy. This study used a two-group parallel quasi-experimental design. Standard scores from the Montreal Cognitive ... -
Perception of Emotions in Music and Speech in People with Parkinson's Disease (PD) and Healthy Age-Matched Controls
McQuigg, Chelsea (2018-05-01)People with Parkinson's disease (PD) often present with emotional perception deficits. Prior studies provide support that these deficits are seen in the processing of verbal as well as non-verbal emotions. The current study ... -
Perceptions of outcomes of speech therapy among individuals with Parkinson’s disease: Examining a critical area of evidence-based practice
Preston, Nancy (2022-05)Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a progressive neurological disease that affects 60,000 Americans each year and over 10 million people worldwide. 1 Speech impairments are present in 49-70% of people with PD, often characterized ... -
Perceptual Evaluation of Speech Intelligibility of Individuals with Parkinson's Disease Following Speech Rate Modification Through Altered Auditory Feedback
McLain, Natalie (2018-05-01)Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative, progressive disease that presents with numerous symptoms, including motor and non-motor (Jankovic, 2008). There has been some research to document that people with PD present ... -
Pitch perception and production in children diagnosed with childhood apraxia of speech and typically developing controls
Tolf, Klairissa (2018-05)Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS) is a pediatric neurodevelopmental speech sound disorder that presents with deficits in articulation and prosody. There have been multiple studies that have investigated aspects of prosody ... -
Practice distribution and novel word learning in children
Touchstone, Grace M. (2023-05)The current study aimed to compare the effectiveness of massed versus distributed practice in improving novel word learning in typical children between the ages of 4-7 years. The study involved twenty-four monolingual ... -
Preliminary investigation into the effectiveness of a virtual reality scenario for adolescents who stutter
Brock, Kendall Rhys (2023-05)Stuttering is a fluency disorder that is often a lifelong diagnosis, posing challenges in communication and quality of life for people who stutter (PWS). Various interventions have been developed to address these issues, ... -
Profiling predictors of speech intelligibility in individuals with Parkinson's disease
Hernandez, Corina (2020-05)The current study investigated the perceptual predictors of speech intelligibility in individuals with Parkinson's disease and the magnitude of each in predicting speech intelligibility as perceived by semi-trained listeners. ... -
Rehabilitation in Huntington's Disease and Those at Risk for Huntington's Disesase
Grace, Jessica Layne (2017-05-01)Huntington's disease is a devastating genetically transmitted disorder. Until recently little has been done to rehabilitate individuals with Huntington's. This study examined the effects of cognitive and motor rehabilitation ... -
Study of lip musculature during speech and nonspeech production tasks using EMG-based outcome measures.
Carter, Ericca (2023-05)Non-speech Oral-Motor Exercises (NSOMEs) are oral activities that are thought to influence speech production without actually executing speech (Forrest, 2002). A recurring question among studies investigating the clinical ...
