Development and evaluation of a test for the assessment of syllabic parsing ability in children
Cameron, Sharon; Dillon, Harvey; Chong-White, Nicky; Beechey, Tim; Young, Taegan; Mealings, Kiri (2016)The Parsing Syllable Envelopes test (ParSE) was developed to investigate whether some children have a deficit in their ability to detect syllable boundaries. -
Measuring communication difficulty through effortful speech
Beechey, Tim; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (2018)This study describes the use of a novel conversation elicitation framework to collect fluent, dynamic conversational speech in simulated realistic acoustic environments of varying complexities. Our aim is to quantify ... -
Measuring communication effort in speech variability
Beechey, Tim; Buchholz, Jorg; Keidser, Gitte (. Fourth International Conference on Cognitive Hearing Science for Communication (CHSCOM). Linköping, Sweden, 2017)Interactive conversation is one of the most important activities that is affected by hearing impairment. • Measures of effort are important, in terms of both listening and communication, in understanding hearing ... -
The Parsing Syllable Envelopes (ParSE) test for assessment of amplitude modulation discrimination skills in children: Development, normative data and test-retest reliability studies
Cameron, Sharon; Chong-White, Nicky; Mealings, Kiri; Beechey, Tim; Dillon, Harvey; Young, Taegan (JAAA, 2017)Background: Intensity peaks and valleys in the acoustic signal are salient cues to syllable structure, which is accepted to be a crucial early step in phonological processing. As such, the ability to detect low-rate ... -
