Syllable congruency and word frequency effects on brain activation.

30 Aug 2009 This article investigates the neural representation of the processes involved in recognizing multisyllabic words in Spanish asking whether lexical and sublexical processes are reflected in a different neuronal activation pattern. High and low ... Read more...

The shift in infant preferences for vowel duration and pitch contour between 6 and 10 months of age.

30 Aug 2009 This study investigates the influence of the acoustic properties of vowels on 6- and 10-month-old infants' speech preferences. The shape of the contour (bell or monotonic) and the duration (normal or stretched) of vowels were manipulated in words ... Read more...

Observations on hearing aid users' strategies for controlling the level of their own voice.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Evidence suggests that hearing-aid users have difficulties with own-voice level control, most likely because their auditory feedback is affected by hearing-aid amplification. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to investigate how ... Read more...
