Abstract Seeing written forms of novel words during learning can help memorize vocabulary, but it may alter pronunciation, especially when orthography is opaque like in English. This study investigated whether a color‐code helps participants learn with unpredictable pronunciation. Sixty Spanish speakers learned 16 English‐like pseudowords one three training conditions. Audio group items the auditory word form only. Two other groups and forms, ( ColorCode group) or random colors RandColor...
Approximately 40% of children worldwide learn to read in a language other than their home or two languages simultaneously. Evidence suggests that instruction one can enhance literacy outcomes the other; however, existence and longevity these cross-language effects poorer readers is unclear. This study used cross-over randomised controlled trial design. Initially, 129 (mean age = 111.44 months, SD 12.23) participated 15-week Welsh intervention, while 128 110.62 12.34) served as wait-list...
Abstract Family members, who provide 70% to 80% of all long-term care, have often been perceived by occupational therapists as a barrier to, rather than partner in, effective care for elderly persons. This perception suggests that in order 10 build partnerships manage complex issues, working with persons must develop strategies involving family members the therapeutic process. article describes pilot study examined how engage caregivers receiving home services. A qualitative descriptive...
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to characterize the local (utterance-level) temporal regularities child-directed speech (CDS) that might facilitate phonological development in Spanish, classically termed a syllable-timed language. Method: Eighteen female adults addressed their 4-year-old children versus other spontaneously and also read aloud (CDS vs. adult-directed [ADS]). We compared CDS ADS productions using spectrotemporal model (Leong & Goswami, 2015), obtaining three metrics:...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the practicability binaural hearing by adding a contralateral aid (HA) after long-term cochlear implant (CI) use in prelingually deaf adults.Five individuals with 1 CI volunteered for 3-week bimodal (CI + HA) trial. HA gain set low until sound tolerable, then increased as listeners acclimated. Participants logged their daily listening experiences and were closely monitored audiologist. Measures included pre- posttrial consonant-nucleus-consonant...
Purpose: To characterize the local (utterance-level) temporal regularities of child-directed speech (CDS) that might facilitate phonological development in Spanish, classically termed a syllable-timed language.Method: 18 female adults addressed their 4-year-old children versus other spontaneously and also read aloud (CDS ADS). We compared CDS ADS productions using spectro-temporal model (S-AMPH, Leong & Goswami, 2015), obtaining three metrics: 1) distribution modulation energy, 2)...
