Visual speech perception: a comparison between younger and older adults

This paper examines the visual speech processing abilities of older adults and the age-related effects on speechreading abilities.

Visual intelligibility of words in isolation and in sentence context

This paper reviews a study to examine the effects on lip reading performance of word position within a sentence.

Applicability of the Test of Visual Perceptual Abilities (TVPA) in diagnosing learning disabilities in hearing-impaired children

This paper studies the validity of the Test of Visual Perceptual Abilities (TVPA) as an indicator of learning problems in hearing-impaired children and how it correlates with other measures of learning disabilities.

Auditory, visual, and auditory-visual recognition of vowels by hearing-impaired children

This paper studies the auditory, visual and combined audio-visual recognition of vowels by severely and profoundly hearing impaired children.

A technique to train auditory and visual memory for speech patterns in young hearing-impaired children

This paper details a technique for training auditory memory for length of speech sounds in preschool children with a profound hearing loss.

Immediate recall by aphasic, deaf and normally hearing children for visual forms presented simultaneously or sequentially in tim

This paper discusses a study to investigate immediate recall of visual stimuli presented simultaneously or sequentially in time.

The relationship of hearing-impaired children's scores on the Beery Visual-Motor Integration Test and the reading subtests of the American School Achievement Test

This paper discusses visual-motor tests and reading tests for hearing impaired children.

The effects of varying amounts of visual information on telephone intelligibility

This study examines whether similarly reduced amounts of visible articulatory information has potential for increasing speech intelligibility over the telephone to hearing-impaired listeners.

Comparison of Computerized Dynamic Posturography (CDP) results with subjective visual vertical (SVV) test in patients with and without vestibular dysfunction: effects of horizontal headshaking

The goal of the study was to identify what effect headshaking in the horizontal plane has on Computerized Dynamic Posturography results in normals and patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunction. Additionally, the results were compared to results of the dynamic subjective visual vertical test.

The effects of varying amounts of visual information on telephone intelligibility

This study examines whether similarly reduced amounts of visible articulatory information has potential for increasing speech intelligibility over the telephone to hearing-impaired listeners.

Effectiveness of visual feedback provided by an electromagnetic articulograph (EMA) system: training vowel production in individuals with hearing impairment

An electromagnetic articulograph (EMA) system was used to provide a participant with congenital hearing loss visual biofeedback information on speech production. Five normally hearing listeners reported a change in their perception of the speech sound /æ/ in the various conditions of the study.

A test of auditory-visual speech perception for hearing-impaired children

This paper discusses a test for speech perception and scoring to test likelihood of success with mainstreaming.

Dynamic visual acuity following high-frequency head vibration

In order to evaluate high-frequency VOR function, the effects of different types of motion on visual acuity were evaluated in asymptomatic and symptomatic subjects. A new testing protocol of evaluating vestibular function was developed in an effort to enhance current treatment protocols.

Auditory and audio-visual reception of words in noise by observers with normal and impaired hearing

This dissertation examines auditory perception and audio-visual reception in noise for both hearing-impaired and normal hearing persons, with a goal of determining some of the noise conditions under which amplified acoustic cues for speech can be beneficial to hearing-impaired persons.

Comparative study of the Gaze Stabilization Test (GST) and the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test (DVAT) for detecting patients with unilateral vestibular dysfunction

This paper compares the use of two diagnostic tests, Gaze Stabilization Test (GST) and the Dynamic Visual Acuity Test (DVAT) to detect unilateral vestibular dysfunction.
