Advancing Our Understanding of Speech Motor Control Through an Investigation of Intermuscular Coherence in Typical Speakers
DownloadFall 2023
There is a need to characterize intermuscular coherence (IMC) in selected muscles of the speech mechanism in order to establish its utility as a tool to study speech motor control. IMC is a correlation in the frequency domain that provides information about whether two signals (i.e.,...

Behavioural and Neuroimaging Investigation of Two Stages of Metaphor Comprehension Using the Metaphor Interference Effect in Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder
DownloadFall 2016
Background Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are reported to have difficulty understanding figurative language, such as metaphors, but emerging evidence suggests that such problems are associated with structural language impairments and not an ASD diagnosis. However, even when...

BackgroundChildhood apraxia of speech (CAS) has attracted controversy in the field of speech-language pathology for decades. There is some agreement that CAS is a neurological speech sound disorder that impairs a child’s ability to plan and/or program the precise and sequential movements required...

Evidence for the functional and structural differentiation of the inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus using DTI tractography
DownloadFall 2016
The inferior fronto-occipital fasciculus (IFOF), a major ventral white matter pathway, has been shown to be a crucial component of semantic (Moritz-Gasser, Herbet & Duffau, 2013) and lexical/orthographic (Vandermosten, Boets, Polemans, Sunaert, Wouters & Ghesquière, 2012) processing. However,...

Background. Context use in sentence comprehension is fairly resistant to age-related cognitive decline; however, event-related potentials (ERPs) studies have shown age effects in neural activity associated with sentence comprehension, specifically when contextual information is manipulated. One...
