Temporal order processing of syllables in the left parietal lobe.

5 Oct 2009 Speech processing requires the temporal parsing of syllable order. Individuals suffering from posterior left hemisphere brain injury often exhibit temporal processing deficits as well as language deficits. Although the right posterior inferior ... Read more...

Nonlocal effects of prosodic boundaries.

29 Sep 2009 Placing a prosodic boundary before a phrase may influence its syntactic analysis. However, the boundary's effect depends on the presence, size, and position of other, earlier, prosodic boundaries. In three experiments, we extend previous results ... Read more...

The influence of speaking rate on nasality in the speech of hearing-impaired individuals.

29 Sep 2009 PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine whether deliberate increases in speaking rate would serve to decrease the amount of nasality in the speech of severely hearing-impaired individuals. METHOD: The participants were 11 severely to ... Read more...
