Fourteen prelingually deafened pediatric users of the Nucleus-22 cochlear implant were asked to imitate auditorily presented nonwords. The children's utterances were recorded, digitized, and broadly… (More)
Despite the mounting evidence that variation and variability play an important role in spoken language processing, few speech researchers have investigated the relationship between dialect variation… (More)
In recent years, cochlear implant (CI) technology has advanced and can now greatly facilitate the spoken language learning of prelingually deafened children. However, there is a great deal of… (More)
In recent years, cochlear implant (CI) technology has advanced substantially. Deaf children can now be provided with an electrical signal that codes sound input to facilitate spoken language… (More)
This study examined the neurocognitive performance of U.S. military personnel completing the Automated Neuropsychological Assessment Metrics (version 4) TBI Military (ANAM4 TBI-MIL) battery as part… (More)
Cochlear implants work reasonably well in many profoundly deaf adults and children. For a prelingually deaf child, the electrical stimulation transmitted by a cochlear implant represents the… (More)
Wambaya is a non-Pama-Nyungan Australian language. The input form of some words in Wambaya appears to be indeterminate due to the positional neutralization of phonemic contrasts. That is, the input… (More)
Recent findings suggest that children developing spoken language while using a cochlear implant (CI) perform more poorly than normal-hearing (NH) children on short-term visual/visual-spatial sequence… (More)
Measures of immediate memory span were obtained from 25 normal-hearing adults who listened to an 8-channel, frequency shifted acoustic simulation of a cochlear implant. A short period of digit… (More)
for their invaluable input into this paper. All errors are my own. The sonority scale that ranks phonemes according to relative " loudness " has long played a significant role in the fields of… (More)
