background and aim: quick speech in noise (q-sin) test has popularity for evaluating speech recognition in noise. the present study has been paid to build five new persian lists with respect to all possible factors affecting the test, to determine validity of the test and to run five lists for normal hearing subjects and assessment of reliability. methods: to build lists, frequent, familiar and...

Connectionist approaches to word learning and word recognition imply that the units of lexical representation are not part of a fixed architecture. If the size of stored units is determined by extracting co-occurrence regularities, then we expect the lexicon to include multi-word units which have become entrenched due to repeated use. Experiments using Reicher's two-alternative forced-choice pr...

A great deal is known about the effects of positive reinforcement on response acquisition; by contrast, much less research has been conducted on contingencies applied to errors. We examined the effects of response repetition as an error-correction procedure on the sight-word reading performance of 11 adults with developmental disabilities. Study 1 compared single-response (SR) repetition and mu...

background: according to previous studies, most of the speech recognition disorders in older adults are the results of deficits in audibility and auditory temporal resolution. in this paper, the effect of ageing on timecompressed speech and auditory temporal resolution by word recognition in continuous and interrupted noise was studied. methods: a time-compressed speech test (tcst) was conducte...

This research investigated the relationship between the attentional blink (AB) and reading in typical adults. The AB is a deficit in the processing of the second of two rapidly presented targets when it occurs in close temporal proximity to the first target. Specifically, this experiment examined whether the AB was related to both phonological and sight-word reading abilities, and whether the r...

Reaction time of lexical decision and word recognition score were measured to investigate whether the neighborhood, a word candidate set with single mora substitution with a target word, has inhibitory effects on spoken word recognition in Japanese. Partial correlation analyses were conducted between subjects’ performance of spoken word recognition (reaction time and recognition score) and neig...

The current study was planned to investigate the interference of native language in English word recognition and integration skills L1 speakers French Persian. participants were 48 intermediate upper Persian French-speaking EFL learners studying VUB ULB universities Brussels, Belgium. All all, based on results ANCOVA, there a strong positive relationship between learners' their L1(first languag...
