There is no consensus on whether derived words are decomposed or processed holistically, and on which factors this depends. Using overt visual priming with lexical decision...

Studies exploring the mismatch negativity (MMN) response to speech sounds have identified neural activity associated with processing of phonologically distinctive information...

In two ERP experiments, we investigated how the Dutch discourse markers eigenlijk “actually”, signalling expectation disconfirmation, and inderdaad “indeed”, signalling...

Objective: This study set out to obtain information on the impact of trainable hearing aids among clinicians and hearing aid users and candidates. Design: Two online adaptive...

Humans have an almost unbounded ability to adapt their behaviour to perform different tasks. In the laboratory, this flexibility is sometimes viewed as a nuisance factor that...

We report a hitherto unknown statistical relationship between the corpus frequency of finite verbs and their fixed linear positions (early vs. late) in finite clauses of...

In spoken word recognition, subphonemic variation influences lexical activation, with sounds near a category boundary increasing phonetic competition as well as lexical...

Objective: This study evaluates the Danish test battery for auditory processing disorder (APD). The battery consists of four behavioural tests, two speech and two non-speech...

This introduction to a special issue of Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics includes an overview of the contents of each of the six articles. Each of the articles use the...

International audience; Many models assume that inhibition plays an integral role during bilingual language control, a process that restricts bilingual language processing to...

Theories of language processing generally assume that speakers construct independent representations for syntactic and semantic information, based largely on evidence from...

Taxonomic and thematic relations are part of an integrated memory system grounded in the sensory, perceptual and motor systems and distributed across important brain regions....

Objective: To conduct a systematic review of the benefits of non-linear frequency compression (NLFC) in adults and children. Design: Ten databases were searched for studies...

Objective: Explore the acceptability of a socialisation, health education and falls prevention programme (Walk and Talk for Your Life: WTL) as an adjunct to group auditory...

Objective: To identify and describe predictors of health-related quality of life (HRQoL) outcomes for adult cochlear implant (CI) recipients in South Africa. Design: A...

Objectives. To monitor listening habits to personal listening devices (PLDs) using a smartphone application and to compare actual listening habits to self-report data. Design....

Language understanding requires the integration of the input with preceding context. Event-related potentials (ERPs) have contributed significantly to our understanding of what...

The current study investigates the online processing consequences of encountering compound words with transposed letters (TLs), to determine if TLs that cross morpheme...

Speech Motor Delay (SMD) is a recently proposed childhood motor speech disorder characterized by imprecise and unstable speech, prosody, and voice that does not meet criteria...

Objective: The aims were to 1) establish which of the four algorithms for estimating residual noise level and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in auditory brainstem responses (ABRs)...
