How Do Children Organize Their Speech in the First Years of Life? Insight From Ultrasound Imaging
Conclusions Results support the view that, although coarticulation degree decreases with age, children do not organize consecutive articulatory gestures with a uniform organizational scheme (e.g., segmental or syllabic). Instead, results suggest that coarticulatory organization is sensitive to the underlying articulatory properties of the segments combined. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Grammatical Word Production Across Metrical Contexts in School-Aged Children's and Adults' Speech
Conclusion The results suggest that both immature articulatory timing control and age-related differences in how chunks are accessed or planned influence grammatical word production in school-aged children's speech. Future work will focus on the development of long-distance coarticulation to reveal the evolution of speech plan structure over time. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Weighting of Amplitude and Formant Rise Time Cues by School-Aged Children: A Mismatch Negativity Study
Conclusion These results suggest that preattentive adultlike weighting of ART and FRT cues is attained only by 10 years of age and accompanies the change from mismatch response to the more mature MMN response.Supplemental Materialhttps://doi.org/10.23641/asha.6207608 (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Speech Understanding in Noise for Adults With Cochlear Implants: Effects of Hearing Configuration, Source Location Certainty, and Head Movement
Conclusions Bilateral CI users overcame ear and source location effects observed for the bimodal listeners. Bilateral CI users have access to head shadow on both sides, whereas bimodal listeners generally have interaural asymmetry in both speech understanding and audible bandwidth limiting the head shadow benefit obtained from the poorer ear (generally the nonimplanted ear). In summary, we found that, in conditions with source location uncertainty and increased ecological validity, bilateral CI performance was superior to bimodal listening.

Children's Speech Perception in Noise: Evidence for Dissociation From Language and Working Memory
Conclusions Results did not support an association between SPIN and WM capacity in children. However, in this study, a single SPIN measure was used. Future studies using multiple SPIN measures are warranted. Evidence from the current study supports the use of BKB-SIN as clinical measure of speech perception ability because it was not influenced by variation in children's language and memory abilities. More large-scale studies in school-age children are needed to replicate the proposed role played by WM in adverse listening situations. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Population Health in Pediatric Speech and Language Disorders: Available Data Sources and a Research Agenda for the Field
Conclusions Greater support for inclusion of speech and language disorder –relevant questions is necessary in national health surveys to build the population science in the field. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

A Systematic Review of Semantic Feature Analysis Therapy Studies for Aphasia
Conclusions SFA leads to positive outcomes despite the variability of treatment procedures, dosage, duration, and variations to the traditional SFA protocol. Further research is warranted to examine the efficacy of SFA and generalization effects in larger controlled studies. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

Neighborhood Density and Syntactic Class Effects on Spoken Word Recognition: Specific Language Impairment and Typical Development
Conclusion The current study yields new insight into how children access lexical –phonological information and syntactic class during the process of spoken word recognition. Given the identical pattern of results for the SLI and TD groups, we hypothesize that accessing lexical–phonological information may be a strength for children with SLI. We also discuss implications for using the forward gating paradigm as a measure of word recognition. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)

The Role of Language in Nonlinguistic Stimuli: Comparing Inhibition in Children With Language Impairment
Conclusions Caution is needed in stimuli selection when examining executive function skills because, although stimuli may be selected on the basis of being “nonlinguistic and auditory,” the type of stimuli chosen can differentially affect performance. The findings have implications for the interpretation of deficits in executive function as well as the selection of stimuli in future studies.

Nonword Repetition and Language Outcomes in Young Children Born Preterm
Conclusions These findings suggest that phonological short-term memory is an important skill underlying language development in both children born PT and FT. These findings have relevance to clinical practice in assessing children born PT. (Source: Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research)
