Altered Auditory Feedback Causing Changes In The Vowel Production Of Children With Specific Language Impairment, Emily Michaela Holmes
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Specific language impairment (SLI), an unexpected delay in the onset or development of oral language, has been hypothesized to have an underlying auditory processing component. Auditory feedback is a mechanism by which an individual controls the characteristics of their own voice, thereby assisting in the processing and production of speech. These characteristics include intensity, frequency, speed and others. The present study examined whether children with SLI make different use of auditory feedback than their typically developing (TD) peers. Participants aged 6-11 years completed a hearing screening, a frequency resolution task, vowel space task and a formant shifted auditory feedback task. …
