This study was designed to investigate the relationship between vocabulary size and the speed and accuracy of lexical processing in preschoolers between the ages of 30-46 months using an automatic eye tracking task based on the looking-while-listening paradigm (Fernald, Zangl, Portillo, & Marchman, 2008) and mispronunciation paradigm (White & Morgan, 2008). Children's eye gaze patterns were tra...

A corpus of easy-to-read texts in combination with a base vocabulary pool for Swedish was used in order to build a basic vocabulary. The coverage of these entries by symbols in an existing AAC database was then assessed.

This study compares parental pause and utterance duration in conversations with Swedish speaking children at age 1;6 who have either a large, typical, or small expressive vocabulary, as measured by the Swedish version of the McArthur-Bates CDI. The adjustments that parents do when they speak to children are similar across all three vocabulary groups; they use longer utterances than when speakin...

This paper describes The Vocal Augmentation and Manipulation Prosthesis (VAMP) a gesture-based wearable controller for live-time vocal performance. This controller allows a singer to capture and manipulate single notes that he or she sings, using a gestural vocabulary developed from that of choral conducting. By drawing from a familiar gestural vocabulary, this controller and the associated map...
