Measuring what matters: effectively predicting language and literacy in children with cochlear implantsSusan Nittrouer
Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH 43212, USA
Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 76:1148-58. 2012..To evaluate how well various language measures typically used with very young children after they receive cochlear implants predict language and literacy skills as they enter school...- The effects of bilateral electric and bimodal electric--acoustic stimulation on language developmentSusan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio
Trends Amplif 13:190-205. 2009.... - Coherence masking protection for speech in children and adultsSusan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology, The Ohio State University, 915 Olentangy River Rd, Suite 4000, Columbus, OH 43212, USA
Atten Percept Psychophys 73:2606-23. 2011..The conclusion was that children are obliged to integrate spectral components of speech signals, a perceptual strategy based on their recognition of when all components come from the same generator... - What is the deficit in phonological processing deficits: auditory sensitivity, masking, or category formation?Susan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology, Eye and Ear Institute, The Ohio State University, 915 Olentangy River Road, Suite 4000, Columbus, OH 43212, USA
J Exp Child Psychol 108:762-85. 2011..These results suggest that these children may have an underlying deficit in perceptually organizing sensory information to form coherent categories... - Coherence masking protection for mid-frequency formants by adults and childrenEric Tarr
Department of Otolaryngology, The Ohio State University, 915 Olentangy River Road, Suite 4000, Columbus, Ohio 43212, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 130:EL290-6. 2011..In this experiment, F2 was the target and F1/F3 was the cosignal. Results showed similar effects for each age group as had been found for F1 targets. Implications for auditory prostheses for listeners with hearing loss are discussed... - Patterns of acquisition of native voice onset time in English-learning childrenJoanna H Lowenstein
Department of Speech and Hearing, Ohio State University, 110 Pressey Hall, 1070 Carmack Road, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 124:1180-91. 2008..Overall these results support a model of acquisition that focuses on the mastery of gestural coordination as opposed to the acquisition of segmental contrasts... - Learning to perceptually organize speech signals in native fashionSusan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, The Ohio State University, 915 Olentangy River Road, Suite 4000, Columbus, Ohio 43212, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 127:1624-35. 2010..Sentence context had similar effects across groups, so variability in recognition was attributed to differences in perceptual organization of the sensory information, presumed to arise from native language experience... - Emergent literacy in kindergartners with cochlear implantsSusan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology, The Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43212, USA
Ear Hear 33:683-97. 2012..The goal of this study was to examine early, or emergent, literacy in these children... - Children discover the spectral skeletons in their native language before the amplitude envelopesSusan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, College of Medice, Ohio State University, Cramblett Hall, Room 4126, 456 West 10th Avenue, Columbus, OH 43210, USA
J Exp Psychol Hum Percept Perform 35:1245-53. 2009..The authors hypothesize that children's early sensitivity to global spectral structure reflects the role that it may play in language learning... - Does harmonicity explain children's cue weighting of fricative-vowel syllables?Susan Nittrouer
Department of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 125:1679-92. 2009..It is further suggested that children are unable to recover formant structure when those formants are not spectrally prominent and/or are noisy... - Children weight dynamic spectral structure more than adults: evidence from equivalent signalsJoanna H Lowenstein
Department of Otolaryngology, The Ohio State University, 915 Olentangy River Road, Suite 4000, Columbus, Ohio 43212, USA
J Acoust Soc Am 132:EL443-9. 2012..Results replicated earlier findings, supporting the idea that dynamic spectral structure plays a critical role in speech recognition, especially for children... 
Speech perception in noise by children with cochlear implantsAmanda Caldwell
The Ohio State University, Columbus, USA
J Speech Lang Hear Res 56:13-30. 2013..The purpose of this study was to examine phonological, language, and cognitive skills that might help explain speech-in-noise abilities for children with CIs...
Dynamic spectral structure really does support vowel recognitionJoanna H Lowenstein
Dept of Otolaryngol, The Ohio State Univ, 915 Olentangy River Rd, 4th Fl, Columbus, OH 43212
J Acoust Soc Am 130:2375. 2011..These outcomes provide further support for the perspective that speech perception is facilitated by broader and longer acoustic structure than that represented by notions of the acoustic cue. [Work supported by NIDCD Grant DC-00633.]...- Dynamic spectral structure specifies vowels for children and adultsSusan Nittrouer
Speech and Hearing Science, Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio 43210, USA
