  1. 36. Development of working memory, speech perception and auditory temporal resolution in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and language impairment

    Författare :Fritjof Norrelgen; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :Temporal resolution; speech perception; brain; working memory; neurodevelopmental disorder;

    Sammanfattning : Speech perception (SP), verbal working memory (WM) and auditory temporal resolution (ATR) have been studied in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and language impairment (LI), as well as in reference groups of typically developed children. A computerised method was developed, in which discrimination of same or different pairs of stimuli was tested. LÄS MER

  3. 37. Speech, voice, language and cognition in individuals with spinocerebellar ataxia (SCA)

    Författare :Ellika Schalling; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) constitute a group of genetically defined hereditary, degenerative, progressive diseases affecting the cerebellum and its connections. Few previous investigations have focused on how SCA affects different aspects of communication. LÄS MER

  4. 38. Evaluation of nasal speech : a study of assessments by speech-language pathologists, untrained listeners and nasometry

    Författare :Karin Brunnegård; Jan van Doorn; Anette Lohmander; Fiona Gibbon; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; hypernasality; auditory perceptual evaluation; reliability; nasometer; nasalance; Logopedics and phoniatrics; Logopedi och foniatrik;

    Sammanfattning : Excessive nasal resonance in speech (hypernasality) is a disorder which may have negative communicative and social consequences for the speaker. Excessive nasal resonance is often associated with cleft lip and palate, velopharyngeal impairment, dysarthria or hearing impairment. LÄS MER

  5. 39. Computer-based speech therapy using visual feedback with focus on children with profound hearing impairments

    Författare :Anne-Marie Öster; David House; James Mahshie; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Speech technology; hearing-imparment; speech therapy; visual feedback; second language learning; computer-based speech training; INTERDISCIPLINARY RESEARCH AREAS; TVÄRVETENSKAPLIGA FORSKNINGSOMRÅDEN;

    Sammanfattning : This thesis presents work in the area of computer-based speech therapy using different types of visual feedback to replace the auditory feedback channel. The study includes diagnostic assessment methods prior to therapy, type of therapy design, and type of visual feedback for different users during different stages of therapy for increasing the efficiency.

  7. 40. Exploring childhood apraxia of speech : speech and language profiles in 5-year-olds with suspected apraxia of speech or cleft palate

    Författare :Ann Malmenholt; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Nyckelord :;

    Sammanfattning : Introduction and aims: Childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) is a speech sound disorder (SSD) lacking a quantifiable measure discriminating all cases of CAS from other SSDs. This project aimed at exploring CAS using different perspectives when examining speech and language difficulties commonly seen in 5-year-old children with suspected CAS or children with repaired cleft palate (CP±L).
