Objective: Children with speech sound disorders (SSDs) have difficulties affecting different levels of speech production. For treatment to be beneficial, it is important to differentiate between Childhood Apraxia of Speech (CAS)–a motor speech disorder with deficits in speech praxis–and other SSDs (nonCAS-SSD). We have previously developed a motor speech examination Dynamisk motorisk talbedömning

Even with optimally fitted hearing aids, many individuals with hearing impairment struggle to hear in situations with difficult listening conditions. Active Communication Education (ACE) is an interactive group rehabilitation program aimed at helping people with hearing loss communicate more effectively using communication strategies to better cope with everyday life. To increase accessibility and

BACKGROUND: Early glottic cancer can be treated with laser resection or radiotherapy. In an earlier study, we found that voice function after laser resection was inferior to that after radiotherapy.OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to determine if reduced margins at laser resection improved voice function without impairing oncologic results.METHOD: A total of 268 patients with previously untreat

In this study, a narrative-based language intervention (NBLI) is evaluated in children with HL based on selected narrative outcome measures important for telling and retelling stories. Nine Danish children with slight to severe sensorineural HL in the age range of 4;11–8;8 years participated. The study had a single-arm early efficacy design. The NBLI consisted of four parts: (1) warm-up activity,

Background: Tinnitus sufferers commonly report concentration difficulties. Despite several previous studies investigating this, the underlying cause and the role of hearing status remains unclear. Purpose: To investigate whether there are any differences between normal hearing individuals with and without tinnitus in terms of working memory capacity, and whether working memory capacity correlates

Computer based analyses offer a possibility for objective methods to assess semantic-linguistic quality of narratives at the text level. The aim of the present study is to investigate whether a semantic language impairment index (SELIMI) based on latent semantic analysis (LSA) can discriminate between children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and children with typical language developmen

Background: Listening effort seems to depend on input-related listening demands and several factors internal to the individual listener. Input-related demands may be listening in noise compared with listening in quiet, and internal factors may be cognitive functions. Purpose: The purpose was to apply measures of listening effort and perceived listening effort in participants with normal hearing, t

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Swedish short form of the Speech, Spatial and Qualities of Hearing Scale (SSQ12) and investigate whether the paper-and-pen and online formats could be used interchangeably. METHOD: Individuals with and without hearing problems were invited to participate in this study. The participants (N = 125) were randomized in

Forskning visar att kvinnor som drabbas av Alzheimers sjukdom får färre insatser och mindre stöd jämfört med män med samma sjukdomspåverkan. Detta trots att fler kvinnor än män drabbas. Det var när Carina Wattmo disputerade vid Lunds universitet som hon i sina studier lade märke till att män med mild till måttlig Alzheimers sjukdom, som fick symtomförebyggande kolinesterashämmare*, i snitt hade bä

Med en ansats i kognitiva teorier om de omedvetna processer som kan ligga bakom fenomenet intuition undersöks i denna kvalitativa studie begreppet ”intuitiva användargränssnitt” på djupet. En teorisyntes om vad intuition är och hur det fungerar presenteras. I en empirisk undersökning i form av kvalitativa intervjuer frågas interaktionsdesigners om deras definition av begreppet intuitiva användargr

Dagens tryckta och digitala texter är inte bara språkliga utan komplexa och multimodala. Det innebär att de förutom den språkliga texten innehåller även bilder och grafiska medel av olika slag. I denna komplexa textvärld är det extra viktigt att tillgängliggöra bilder så att användare med synnedsättning inte missar viktig information och har samma möjlighet att tillgodogöra sig innehållet som seen

Ett av mina starkaste minnen kring arkitektur är minnet ä av en pojke som cyklar på en trehjuling Han trampar snabbt på tramporna och far fram genom korridorerna inne på hotellet där han bor. Dörrarna in till hotellrummen på vardera sidan om honom svischar snabbt förbi. Trehjulingens däck låter dämpat mot den mjuka mattan på golvet när pojken cyklar om hörn efter hörn innan han plötsligt stannar fOne of my strongest memories concerning architecture is the memory of a boy, riding his tricycle. He’s pedaling fast. He’s shooting through the corridors of the hotel where he’s living with his mom and dad. The doors to the hotel rooms on either side of him pass by in a fast pace. The wheels of the tricycle make muffled sounds against the soft carpets on the floor as the boy rides passed one corne

I uppsatsen undersöks flödestexter, oredigerade och skrivna utan syfte att offentliggöras. Författarna använder sig av skrivandet som kognitionsverktyg och språkbruket liknar på flera vis vad Lev S Vygotskij kallar egocentriskt språk. Stilen i flödestexterna analyseras med hjälp av bl a Ann Banfields kriterier för inre monolog i romantexter. Undersökningen syftar till att placera flödestexterna ur

Sensory feedback plays an important role in speech motor control. One of the main sources of evidence for this is studies in which online auditory feedback is perturbed during ongoing speech. In motor control, it is therefore crucial to distinguish between sensory feedback and externally generated sensory events. This is called source monitoring. Previous altered feedback studies have taken non-co

To increase the reliability and comparability of vocal loading studies, this paper proposes the use of a standardized approach with experiments that are [1] grounded on consistent definitions of terms related to vocal fatigue (vocal effort, vocal demand, and vocal demand response), and [2] designed to reduce uncertainty and increase repeatability. In the approach, a semi-automated vocal loading ta
