The importance of identifying the relationship and independent variables of speech sound disorders and their effect on literacy, could have clinical benefits and improving speech and language intervention. In recent studies, researchers have found that deficits in phonological processes could be an indicato...
Direct speech and language therapy for children with cerebral palsy, focusing on communication and expressive language, appears effective but methodological flaws advocate for more high quality research 1 1 Abstracted from: Pennington, L., Goldbart, J., & Marshall, J. (2005). Direct speech and ...
In Experiment 1, participants produced matched non-speech and speech stimuli presented in video-clips in a standard delayed production task, i.e. after a short variable delay. 2.1. Participants Participants were all French native speakers, with no reported hearing, language, speech, neurologic or ...
26. The model emulates the combinatorial freedom of language by assuming that syllables present in a given sentence can appear in any order. Given real speech statistics, context can reduce—but not generally eliminate—the uncertainty about which syllable might come next. Our main observation ...
Speech emotion recognition is a kind of technology that uses computers to create the relationship between speech and emotion measurement, and provides computers with the ability to recognize and understand human emotions. Therefore, speech emotion recognition plays an important role in human-com...
Here, we translated direct cortical signals in a clinical-trial participant (ClinicalTrials.gov; NCT03698149) with severe limb and vocal-tract paralysis into single letters to spell out full sentences in real time. We used deep-learning and language-modeling techniques to decode letter sequences ...
Method: UK SLPs were invited to complete two online surveys covering device availability, the use of technology for the assessment and treatment of acquired dysarthria and phonological delay, and barriers to using technology. Results were analysed using descriptive statistics. Result: 126 SLPs completed...
Phonetic information is one of the most essential components of a speech signal, playing an important role for many speech processing tasks. However, it is difficult to integrate phonetic information into speaker verification systems since it occurs prim
with an estimated 3.8% of children persisting with speech delay at 6 years of age3. More than half of these children encounter later academic difficulties in language, reading, and spelling4,5,6,7,8. Because of the clinical heterogeneity of speech problems and their correlation with other comm...
and can persist into adulthood.5,6 In the case of a child, caregivers may notice that the child appears to hear, but is not listening.7 The presentation of a developmental APD may be intertwined with that of other communication and learning disorders such as language delay, dyslexia, and ...
