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...

Spring 2017
Stuttering is a developmental speech disorder characterized by prolongations and/or repetitions of speech sounds as well as silent blocks during speech production. It affects about 5% of children and 1% of the general population. Growing evidence shows that white matter connections of the brain...

Fall 2021
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...

Emergence and Refinement of Respiratory Chest Wall Intermuscular Coherence Associated with Speech and Non-Speech Tasks in Younger and Older Children
DownloadSpring 2018
Introduction: There is limited information about the development of chest wall muscular control of lung volume and alveolar pressure for non-speech and speech tasks. The present study was the first in a series of studies aimed at achieving an in-depth understanding of intermuscular coherence of...

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,...

Examining Activation of Lexical and Semantic Representations Without Intention: Evidence from Event-Related Potentials
DownloadSpring 2016
Background. According to dual-route models of reading, there are two pathways with which words can be read: an orthographic-lexical pathway used to read familiar regular words and exception (EXC) words, and a grapheme-to-phoneme-conversion (GPC)-sublexical pathway used to read unfamiliar regular...

Let's Talk About Sex - Or Not: Sexual Communication, Self-Efficacy, and Sexual Healthcare Use Among Individuals With and Without Communication Difficulties
DownloadSpring 2023
Sexual communication is an essential element of sexual satisfaction and wellbeing. However, individuals with communication difficulties (in reading, writing, speaking, or understanding language) may face barriers to sexual communication in interpersonal and healthcare contexts. Based on previous...

Fall 2017
Background. Speech production in noisy environments is known to elicit the Lombard effect, which has been described as an involuntary increase to vocal loudness against background noise. Many studies have explored the auditory-perceptual mechanisms that contribute to the Lombard effect; however,...

Fall 2016
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...
