Recognition of facial, auditory, and bodily emotions in older adults.
3 Oct 2009 
Understanding older adults' social functioning difficulties requires insight into their recognition of emotion processing in voices and bodies, not just faces, the focus of most prior research. We examined 60 young and 61 older adults' recognition ...

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 ...

Pauses and intonational phrasing: ERP studies in 5-month-old German infants and adults.
29 Sep 2009 In language learning, infants are faced with the challenge of decomposing continuous speech into relevant units, such as syntactic clauses and words. Within the framework of prosodic bootstrapping, behavioral studies suggest infants approach this ...

Event-related potential evidence of processing lexical pitch-accent in auditory Japanese sentences.
21 Sep 2009 Neural mechanisms that underlie the processing of lexical pitch-accent in auditory Japanese were investigated by using event-related potentials. Native speakers of Japanese listened to two types of short sentences, both consisting of a noun and a ...

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 ...

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 ...

Comparison of vent effects between a solid earmold and a hollow earmold.
30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Hollow earmolds have become a popular type of earmold used in thin-tube, microsize hearing aid fittings. It is desirable for clinicians to be familiar with their characteristics and limitations. PURPOSE: This investigation compared the ...

Enhancement and suppression effects resulting from information structuring in sentences.
30 Aug 2009 Information structuring through the use of cleft sentences increases the processing efficiency of references to elements within the scope of focus. Furthermore, there is evidence that putting certain types of emphasis on individual words not only ...

Quantifying speech rhythm abnormalities in the dysarthrias.
26 Aug 2009 PURPOSE: In this study, the authors examined whether rhythm metrics capable of distinguishing languages with high and low temporal stress contrast also can distinguish among control and dysarthric speakers of American English with perceptually ...
