This presentation gives a cross-linguistic overview of studies, conducted at our department, making use of GraphoLearn (GL), a serious gaming environment, in three languages with relatively transparent orthographies. Aim of the studies is to evaluate the effectiveness as well as screening value of playing GL. GraphoLearn was used to develop early reading acquisition games in three languages: Spanish, Standard Indonesian (both highly transparent orthographies) and Dutch (intermediate transparency). In all four studies typically developing children, and in some studies, children with developmental language disorder (DLD) and/or reading difficulties participated in a research protocol consisting of a pre-test at the start of reading education, followed by a period of playing GL, and concluded with a post-test and follow-up. The pre- and post-tests comprised standard sets of preliteracy tests. The post-tests also included word decoding tests. Playing consisted of matching (strings of) graphemes on a computer screen with spoken fragments. Results show a mainstream learning trajectory (strong regression) from preliteracy skills, via accuracy and speed of letter-sound association during playing, to early (post-test) and later (follow-up) word and pseudoword decoding. Patterns of qualitative (e.g. errors) and quantitative (e.g. learning rate) in-game data predicting and influencing later reading fluency were found for different subgroups of children. We conclude that GL is an effective tool for early dynamic diagnostic screening, and supporting early reading acquisition. Future perspectives targeting integrated, multi-factorial and cross-modal digital game-based learning (DGBL) are discussed.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143392326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the exact reasons why such tools and procedures are not available to SLTs were not fully clarified in previous studies. In a new online survey, 297 SLTs from 17 different countries were asked about their perspectives on SLT service provision for multilingual children with regard to their practical applicability and relevance. Participants were asked to rate their degree of agreement with 17 statements about multilingualism on a scale from 1 to 5. The results show that working with multilingual children is effortful for SLTs. SLTs indicated that assessment tools in languages beyond the societal language are not easily accessible, and that they are not content with the currently available tools. Similarly, SLTs find it difficult to access interpreters to help in the service provision for multilingual children. Participants also agreed that foreign language speakers should be recruited for the profession to increase the linguistic diversity among SLTs. Mandatory internships are considered useful to increase concrete experience in working with multilingual patients. Pointing to a lack of resources, SLTs consider easy access to useful materials and concrete experiences with multilingualism important to promote the development of multilingual and multicultural attitudes and appropriate approaches to linguistic diversity in clinical practice.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"1-24"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143365906","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study investigates the encoding of speech modes in individuals with AoS following focal brain damage and in individuals with hypokinetic dysarthria (HD) secondary to Parkinson's disease. Participants with mild-to-moderate MSD and their age-matched controls performed a delayed production task of pseudo-words in two speech modes: normal and whispered speech. While overall accuracy did not differ significantly across speech modes, participants with AoS exhibited longer response latencies for whispered speech, reflecting difficulties in the initiation of utterances requiring an unvoiced production. In contrast, participants with HD showed faster response latencies for whispered speech, indicating that this speech mode is easier to encode/control for this population. Acoustic durations followed these same trends, with participants with AoS showing greater lengthening for whispered speech as compared to controls and to participants with HD, while participants with HD exhibited milder lengthening. Contrary to the predictions of speech production models, suggesting that speech mode changes might be particularly difficult in dysarthria, the present results suggest that speech mode adaptation rather seems particularly costly for participants with AoS.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"99-120"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140860597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this 'goodness' scale is still poorly understood. We investigated listeners' ratings of 'how many stars the app should provide as feedback' on children's utterances, and whether listener agreement is affected by clinical experience and/or access to anchor stimuli. In addition, we explored the association between goodness ratings and clinical measures of speech accuracy; the Percentage of Consonants Correct (PCC) and the Percentage of Phonemes Correct (PPC). Twenty speech-language pathologists and 20 non-expert listeners participated; half of the listeners in each group had access to anchor stimuli. The listeners rated 120 words, collected from children with and without speech sound disorder. Concerning reliability, intra-rater agreement was generally high, whereas inter-rater agreement was moderate. Access to anchor stimuli was associated with higher agreement, but only for non-expert listeners. Concerning the association between goodness ratings and the PCC/PPC, correlations were moderate for both listener groups, under both conditions. The results indicate that the task of rating goodness is difficult, regardless of clinical experience, and that access to anchor stimuli is insufficient for achieving reliable ratings. This raises concerns regarding the 1-5 rating scale as the means of feedback in speech training apps. More specific listener instructions, particularly regarding the intended context for the app, are suggested in collection of human ratings underlying the development of speech training apps. Until then, alternative means of feedback should be preferred.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"144-165"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141297136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of this preliminary study was to provide pilot data for a new potential assessment tool in Catalan.

Twenty-seven school-aged children with DLD (Mage = 9;1 years) and twenty-seven age/sex-matched typically developing (TD) children (Mage = 9;0 years) participated in the study. Group differences and diagnostic accuracy analyses (sensitivity and specificity and likelihood ratios) were conducted. Results showed that the overall accuracy of children with DLD was significantly poorer than that of the TD controls in the two tasks. The preliminary diagnostic accuracy results suggested that the overall test (GramCorr+MP) could be useful in identifying children with DLD (cut-off point 62.1%; sensitivity (.929)/specificity (.893); +LH (8.67)/-LH (0.80). Moreover, the overall MP task (nonword + word subtasks; cut-off point 60%; sensitivity (.897)/specificity (.931), +LH (13.00)/-LH (0.111)) appears to provide adequate information to help in detecting DLD.

Instrumental techniques, such as electropalatography (EPG), may be useful for identifying gradient speech change and may supplement phonetic transcription in important ways. This study investigated whether gradient speech change occurred in six participants with cleft palate ± lip undergoing intervention within a usage-based phonology framework (2/6 participants with speech distortions; 4/6 with pattern-based speech substitutions; combined total of 25 speech sounds targeted for intervention). Participants received weekly therapy in a hospital setting and were aged 10-27 years. Gradient speech change with target speech sounds was examined using EPG analysis, which was undertaken after every fifth session of therapy. The presence of gradient change was determined by visually examining EPG palatograms and EPG indices for target speech sounds across successive EPG test points. This study found gradient speech change occurred in 22/25 target sounds over the course of intervention. This gradient change occurred for both speech distortions and pattern-based speech substitutions. The remaining 3/25 target sounds showed categorical change. Usage-based phonology was suggested as a theory with potential for explaining gradient speech change, with both typical and atypical speech, and with speech distortions and pattern-based speech substitutions. This finding adds to other research showing that the objective data provided by instrumental techniques, such as EPG, may be a valuable complement to phonetic transcription.","PeriodicalId":49219,"journal":{"name":"Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics","volume":" ","pages":"166-197"},"PeriodicalIF":0.8,"publicationDate":"2025-02-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141312138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Children with CLP had significantly lower PCC scores than children with CP (p = .020), but had no significant differences in their clinician- or parent-reported speech intelligibility. Clinician-reported speech intelligibility correlated significantly with both PCC (τ = .594, p < 0.01) and ICS (τ = .424, p = 0.009).
