Based on the success of phone-specific speech rate measures in correlating with certain MDD symptoms, we plan to extend our experiments to examining other phone-specific speech measures, thus exploiting the general phonological framework that we have developed.
The item analyses indicated small effects of specific phonological properties on memory: the number of back vowels in a nonword was associated, albeit weakly, with memory.
Our results show that similarly to French adults, infants fail to discriminate a native voicing contrast (e.g., [f] vs. [v]) when it occurs in a specific phonological context (e.g. [ofbe] vs. [ovbe], no mismatch response), while they successfully detected it in other phonological contexts (e.g., [ofne] vs. [ovne], mismatch response).
Although the analyses examining the role of specific phonological predictors of sound symbolic effects did not yield consistent or robust findings, we argue our conclusions are warranted for two reasons.
Building on this research, the present study examines whether it is possible to identify specific phonological subfunctions as causal factors in these qualitative deviations from typical development found in children with intellectual disabilities.
Thus, poor phonological representations may lead some children with SLI to perform poorly in the standard phonological skills tasks, even though these specific phonological skills are not impaired, and will therefore not lead to a specific reading impairment.
The presence of an inflected form in English is accompanied by a specific phonological feature an agreement in voicing between a final coronal consonant and the preceding segment (Marslen-Wilson and Tyler 2007).
Kuhl 2000 argues that these prototypes subsequently function as 'magnets' around which subsequent linguistic experiences are organized, and form the set points of the language-specific phonological 'map' that emerges by the end of the first year.
Markets function differently dependent on the specific institutional framework in each country.
No specific tool framework is presented.
