An online questionnaire based on the modified Medical Outcomes Study Social Support Survey (mMOS-SS) was administered as an adjunct to an ongoing hearing aid trial (the CogniAid Trial) from May to June 2020. Total mMOS-SS and subscale scores (instrumental and emotional support) referring to both before and following COVID-19 lockdown (March to June 2020) were compared. A total of 135 participants from the CogniAid Trial were invited through emails to participate in this online survey; four mails failed to deliver. Among 131 participants, 76 responded, and 46 completed the survey, yielding a response rate of 30%. Twenty-six per cent of the participants reported decreased total and emotional support scores following the lockdown, and about 18% reported a decreased instrumental support score. Generalized linear factorial models for ordinary logistic regression revealed that older age was a significant predictor of decreased instrumental support score [adjusted OR: 1.15 (1.00–1.32)] after controlling for age, gender, duration of hearing problem, current hearing aid use, living arrangement, and physical activity status. No significant association was found between COVID-19 lockdown on social support status and gender, ethnicity, education level, having paid work, unpaid or volunteer work and depression status; however, an association was found between the lockdown and both marital status and living arrangement amongst a group of older New Zealanders.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"31 1","pages":"257 - 267"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88832015","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}

Altmetric Explorer was searched on 7th October 2019 to identify contemporary (January 2014 to January 2019) articles with the keyword ‘dysphagia’. Data from 100 articles with the highest Altmetric Attention Score (AAS) were exported for analysis. Data extracted included journal name; first author profession; country; study design; population studied; publication year; journal impact factor; citations; downloads; funding and access status. Most of the 100 articles (AAS 19–317) focused on adult populations (95%). Nearly half of study designs were systematic reviews (27%) or randomized control trials (18%). The Dysphagia journal published the most articles (34%) and nearly one-third of first authors (31%) were based in USA. The most studied population was neurological (30%). There was no association between altmetric scores and traditional metrics. A significant difference in altmetric scores (U = 650.50, p = 0.045, p < 0.05) was found between the earlier time-period (2014–2016) (median AAS = 29) and later time-period (2016–2019) (median AAS=36). A significant difference in altmetric scores was identified between open (median = 33) and non-open access research (median = 29) (U = 1030.50, p = 0.048). Altmetric scores provide an innovative article level metric capturing public interest in dysphagia research. As altmetric scores do not correlate with traditional metrics, improved understanding of the type of dysphagia research that has social impact is imperative to guide researchers and clinicians.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"44 1","pages":"46 - 58"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83051447","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}

Nonetheless, there has been a dearth of research into the relationship between ToM and presbycusis, even though presbycusis is a very common pathology among people over 65 years of age. The aim of this study is to analyze the functioning of the two types of ToM (affective and cognitive ToM) in aging populations, as well as to examine the components of ToM connected to ironic language, all in order to determine whether people with presbycusis show a similar ToM profile to those without any hearing loss. The sample consisted of 69 participants with a mean age of 75. Of the participants, 52 had some degree of hearing loss. Some participants with hearing loss used a hearing aid. All participants were asked to complete six ToM tasks. The results show that age influences ToM scores, especially for cognitive and irony recognition tasks. This decline in ToM was greater in participants experiencing mild cognitive impairment and also among those with hearing loss. Among participants with presbycusis, those who used a hearing aid obtained better results than those who did not. Gender and sociocultural background were not found to be significant variables. The results point to a need to monitor both hearing and cognitive abilities, especially those related to ToM, and to offer specific treatment whenever possible to avoid social alienation.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"1 1","pages":"11 - 24"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82846056","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}

Prior 2013 there was great variability in professionals’ understanding of children’s food intake. Children with a restricted intake of food had limited recognition amongst health services, which the ARFID diagnosis aimed to change. Over time, it is useful to evaluate whether the formulation of this eating disorder has improved understanding of food refusal or ‘picky eating’ to ultimately enable effective outcomes for children and their families. This study explored changes in perspective from 2013 to 2018 regarding understanding of picky eating amongst health professionals (medical practitioners, dietitians and speech-language therapists) working with children and feeding difficulties in New Zealand. An online survey conducted in 2013 and 2018 targeted understanding of food refusal and consensus within the medical field for the labelling of picky eating. Responses were analysed with descriptive statistics, and qualitative content analysis. Health professionals in both years reported there was no consensus in the labelling of picky eating, with a significant increase in those reporting ‘no consensus’ in 2018 (n = 141, p = .035). However, health professionals demonstrated an increased awareness from 2013, by seeking further information regarding labelling of the condition portrayed. Despite an increase in awareness since 2013, health professionals are yet to agree on the diagnosis and treatment of ARFID. The impact of picky eating on parental stress may be underestimated in the literature. Consensus and guidelines are necessary to support health professionals, individuals and their families to obtain necessary services and resources.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"43 1","pages":"37 - 45"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85683428","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}

We used eight databases to identify the experimental studies published 2000–2019, and reported the data using the guidelines of PRISMA-ScR designed for scoping reviews. While research conducted prior to 2000 provided a strong foundation in this area, the past two decades have brought technical advances that have allowed for more precise measurement of audiovisual speech perception. Thirty-eight studies were identified: 18 articles that focused on children with typical development, 9 focused on children with autism spectrum disorder, 8 focused on children with speech and language disorders, and 3 focused on children with hearing loss. Most of the studies identified were behavioral studies, while a minority reported on neuroanatomical correlates underlying the audiovisual speech perception. Through this scoping review, key gaps were identified that include few studies in clinical populations, a few studies on languages other than English, and variability in terminology to describe similar or overlapping concepts. Further research is needed to inform the development and mechanisms of audiovisual speech integration in children with different language development paths. In addition, the use of common terminology in future research would improve access to evidence and the communication of this knowledge for researchers and clinicians.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"73 1","pages":"433 - 449"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83709901","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}

The primary purpose of the current study was to investigate the preferences between two AAC symbol sets of different cultural origins among neurotypical adults who were natives of Kerala, India. The study also aimed to explore the trend in preferences among adults with aphasia. A total of 240 neurotypical adults and ten adults with aphasia participated in the study. The neurotypical adults encompassed 120 lay-persons from four age groups (i.e., 18–35, 36–50, 51–65, and 66–80), and 120 professionals from three professional categories (i.e., medical and allied health professionals, speech-language pathologists, and special educators). A preference task using IPSC and PCS for the same set of 30 target referents inclusive of nouns, verbs, adjectives, and prepositions was utilized. Both groups of neurotypical adults showed a significant preference for IPSC over PCS for most of the stimuli included in the study. A similar trend was found in adults with aphasia. IPSC was preferred for target referents representing verbs, adjectives, and prepositions, and PCS was preferred for nouns. Analysis of preferences within participant groups revealed that age and profession did not influence symbol preferences in neurotypical adults. The study emphasizes the need to explore preferences among different AAC stakeholders. It also points out that the symbols considered universally iconic may be perceived differently in different cultures and can influence their preferences.","PeriodicalId":43000,"journal":{"name":"Speech Language and Hearing","volume":"15 1","pages":"102 - 119"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2021-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87571165","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}
