Purpose Early studies of perceptual learning of dysarthric speech, those summarized in
Borrie, McAuliffe, and Liss (2012), yielded preliminary evidence that listeners could learn to …

Although the behavioral pure-tone threshold audiogram is considered the gold standard for
quantifying hearing loss, assessment of speech understanding, especially in noise, is more …

Speech perception studies typically rely on trained research assistants to score orthographic
listener transcripts for words correctly identified. While the accuracy of the human scoring …

Purpose: This study examined speech breathing during two connected speech tasks in
children with cerebral palsy (CP) and typically develo** (TD) peers. Understanding how …

Purpose: Limited research has examined the suitability of crowdsourced ratings to measure
treatment effects in speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly for constructs such …

This study examined the reliability and validity of speech-language pathologists'(SLP)
estimations of speech intelligibility in dysarthria, including a visual analog scale (VAS) …

Purpose: Auditory training has been shown to reduce rater variability in perceptual voice
assessment. Because rater variability is also a central issue in the auditory-perceptual …

Purpose The clinical assessment of intelligibility must be based on a large repository and
extensive variation of test materials, to render test stimuli unpredictable and thereby avoid …

Purpose Familiarization tasks offer a promising platform for listener-targeted remediation of
intelligibility disorders associated with dysarthria. To date, the body of work demonstrating …

Purpose: Despite extensive research into communication-related parameters in dysarthria,
such as intelligibility, naturalness, and perceived listener effort, the existing evidence has not …
