Although there are reference values for some languages, there are no recent publications of adult population speaking Spanish, German or Czech. Aims: 1) to describe the values of oral-DDK in adult speakers of Spanish, German and Czech, 2) to determine the influence of gender on the values of oral-DDK, 3) to determine the influence of age on the values of oral-DDK and, 4) to compare the inter-language values of the oral-DDK. Methods & Procedures: the recordings of 189 healthy adults were considered (between 26 to 86 years), 94 females and 95 males, while producing the sequential motion rate (SMR) /pa-ta-ka/. Count-by-time method was used using an acoustic analysis software. Oral-DDK averages were established for each language and the effect of gender and age was determined. The variability of the measure among languages was also established. Results: reference data were obtained for each language. Age did not show any significant effect on oral-DDK despite its decline as age advanced; there was no gender effect on the oral-DDK, and the comparison of the oral-DDK among languages showed statistically significant differences. Conclusions: This study determined the reference data of the oral-DDK for Spanish, German and Czech and found significant differences among the three languages and no significant effects of age or gender on the measure studied.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"56 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134976736","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A clinician read aloud a text, exhibiting different levels (0%, 5%, 10%, and 15%) of %SSs (speech naturalness r>0.800). Each group of participants listened to a recording with a different %SS level. The comprehension performance was evaluated with the Listening Comprehension Assessment Tool developed by the authors. The validity measures of the tool were sufficient for teachers and clinicians (X̅>0.800). The group that listened to the fluent (0%) recording scored significantly higher than the other groups on mean comprehension scores. Covariance analysis indicated that only the %SS level significantly affected the comprehension score.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135436202","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These ones have a huge importance in the overall characterization and impact of stuttering. This research aims to: 1) guarantee the adaptation and content validation of the assessment instrument A-19 to European Portuguese, and 2) analyze A-19 construct validity through a pilot study. Across-sectional , quantitative and qualitative study was developed to ensure the adaptation and content validation of A-19. The achievement of semantic, conceptual, experiential and idiomatic equivalences was only possible after the experts’ debate of several items concerning meaning, concept and cultural experience.The final Portuguese version of A-19 was used in a pilot study in which 42 children participated (21 children who stutter and 21 children who do not stutter). The group of school-age children who stutter presented a higher A-19 mean (6.29) in comparison with children who do not stutter (5.48), although the difference was not statistically significant. The Portuguese Version of A19 identifies the differences in feelings and attitudes between school age children who do and who do not stutter. The fact that this sample of children who stutter is already attending speech and language therapy sessions in which emotional, behavioural and cognitive reactions are explored, may have contributed to a non-significative difference in A-19 scores. The content and construct validity of A-19 European Portuguese Version is assured, as so this is a valid instrument to assess feelings and attitudes of school age children who stutter.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"57 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363561","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Este estudio busca establecer si hay alteración del procesamiento fonológico-silábico en la escritura en personas con EP en estadio leve y si la modalidad del input (auditivo o pictórico) influye en el acceso a la unidad silábica. Veinte participantes con EP y 20 controles escribieron palabras en español. Se presentó una palabra auditivamente o un dibujo para indicar la palabra a escribir. Se compararon palabras donde las mismas dos letras pertenecían a diferentes sílabas (a y r en ba.res, intersilábica) o a la misma sílaba (bar.ba, intrasilábico). Se midió la duración de la pausa entre estas dos letras (intervalo 2: I2). Las personas mayores del grupo control evidenciaron un I2 mayor en la condición intersilábica, independientemente de la modalidad del input, lo cual implica un papel funcional de la sílaba en el procesamiento de la escritura, como anteriormente se ha encontrado en adultos jóvenes. Las personas del grupo EP solo mostraron este efecto con input auditivo, no con input pictórico. Parece que la sílaba actúa como unidad fonológica de procesamiento en la escritura con el input auditivo, que también activa procesos fonológicos. Por el contrario, el procesamiento visual de los dibujos parece interferir con el proceso de escritura habitual.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eight Palestinian-Arabic-speaking individuals with agrammatism (6 males and 2 females), diagnosed with mild to severe Broca’s aphasia, and 8 age- and gender-matched healthy speakers participated in the study. A speech sample of 100 words from each participant was transcribed and analyzed. Findings showed that substitutions, omissions, simplified sentence structure, and tense inflection errors mostly characterized Palestinian Arabic agrammatism. As for tense and agreement, the speakers with agrammatism showed more tense inflection impairments than agreement inflections. The results suggest that the individuals of PA with agrammatism had marked dissociations in producing certain types of specific morphosyntactic structures, confirming previous findings, mainly from Hebrew and Jordanian Arabic.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139364032","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dentro de las variables analizadas se observa que la evaluación fonoaudiológica se realiza en tres esferas; instrumental, clínica y auto reporte, la FEES, la escala FOIS y la escala EAT-10, son las de uso más frecuentes. Los pacientes que presentan contagio con el SARS COV-2 y requieren intubación orotraqueal, se caracterizan por presentar múltiples factores concomitantes que promueven la aparición de penetración y aspiración silenciosa de alimentos. De igual forma, en los pacientes que no requieren apoyo con ventilación mecánica, el virus del COVID 19 puede causar, aunque con una incidencia menor, alteración en la función deglutoria como resultado de la lesión neuronal que produce este agente patógeno.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"66 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In Portugal, this project was carried out to respond to these needs due to a lack of these resources and a high prevalence of children at risk for communication problems at early ages. This paper describes the first steps to adapt the Early Communication Indicator (ECI) for the Portuguese population. The ECI is a play-based expressive communication measure for infants and toddlers aged 6 to 42 months. The ECI was originally developed in the U.S. and was designed for use by service providers to provide information about growth in communication, to help in intervention decision making, and to be administered in any language. This paper analyzes the ECI results of three Portuguese children in relation to their communication progression, based on a one-year longitudinal study. The ECI was administered when children were 17, 24, and 30 months of age. The ECI results showed that two of the children follow the typical progression of communication acquisition, with acquisition of earlier prelinguistic skills preceding growth in spoken language. The ECI results for the other child showed a very different and slower progression in the communication skills. The data obtained provided just an initial demonstration of the use of the ECI with Portuguese children. More research is needed into the development of the ECI in the Portuguese context, such as the development of a nationally representative, normative sample. Therefore, a discussion of what is needed in research and practice to advance this project is provided.","PeriodicalId":412357,"journal":{"name":"Revista de Investigación en Logopedia","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139363855","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
