The IKEA effect refers to when an individual contributes to the construction of an item, and the perceived value of the item increases. We were interested in determining how increasing the involvement of the user in the construction of hearing aid settings may impact their perceived value of the...

Hunt, Tawna, LeBlanc, Michael, Mincer, Adina, Rosentreter, Robin, Boliek, Carol, Cummine, Jacqueline
The present study used transcranial direct-current simulation (tDCS) to explore the contribution of the superior temporal gyrus to speech output including: Vocal reaction time; Word Accuracy; Word Duration; and Intermuscular coherence of right and left orbicularis oris and masseter muscles. ...

Some individuals with acquired reading impairments (alexia) can read words in sentence contexts easier than in list format. It has been proposed that this may be due to relatively intact sentence production processes (Mitchum et al., 2005). In this project, we investigated this hypothesis in five...

When a story is told, referring expressions are used to introduce referents (characters and objects). This must be done so that the listener clearly understands that the character or object is new to the story (Schneider & Hayward, 2010). The ability to use referents correctly, according to the...

Donnelly, Megan, Kinsman, Melissa, Kim, Esther, Cummine, Jacqueline
In order for speech-language pathologists to improve therapy for acquired reading impairments, it is necessary to gain a better understanding of how sentences are processed during reading. Neural mechanisms underlying reading processes can be examined by using event-related potentials (ERPs)....
