Attention networks in multilingual adults who do and who do not stutter
This study investigated whether multilinguals who stutter differ from multilinguals who do not stutter in terms of attention networks. Towards that end, it measured (a) performance differences in attention networks between multilinguals who stutter and those who do not stutter and (b) the correlation between stuttering characteristics and attention networks. Twenty-four multilingual Dutch-English speaking adults (20-46y), half of whom were diagnosed with stuttering, completed the Attentional Network Task (ANT) that evaluates the attention networks of alerting, orienting, and executive control. A language and social backgro...

A further look at two grammatical measures from children's language samples and their contribution to the diagnostic process
In this study, we evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of these two measures using a new group of children with DLD. To determine whether these measures would likely add to diagnostic decision making if used in conjuncion with other tests of language, we also examined the relationship between scores on these two measures and scores on a standardized test with a grammatical emphasis. In Study 1, FVMC and Sentence Point scores were computed from the language samples of 22 four- and five-year-olds with DLD and 22 age-matched typically developing peers. Both measures showed very good sensitivity and specificity. In Study ...

Differences in nasalance scores obtained with different Nasometer headsets
In conclusion, differences between repeated nasalance scores obtained with the same and different headsets were noted. Clinicians should allow a margin of error of ±6 to 8 nasalance points when interpreting scores from different Nasometer headsets.PMID:38346239 | DOI:10.1080/02699206.2024.2305118 (Source: Clinical Linguistics and Phonetics)
