Reading and Dyslexia
In this volume a group of well-known experts of the field cover topics ranging from basic visual and auditory information processing to higher order cognition in reading and dyslexia, from basic research to remediation approaches and from well-established theories to new hypotheses about reading acquisition and causes for its failure. Reading is one of the most intriguing feats human evolution ever came up with. There is no evolutionary basis for reading as such; reading is secondary to language and the result of a complex skill acquisition at the end of which almost all pre-existing cognitive functions are mobilized. With the right instruction and practice most people learn this skill smoothly. Some, however, have problems, despite same opportunities and general cognitive abilities. This developmental dyslexia results from a neuro developmental disorder leading to deficits in reading relevant information processing. But what deficits are these, and can they be trained?
Auditory Temporal Processing and Its Disorders
'Auditory temporal processing' determines our understanding of speech, our appreciation of music, our ability to localize a sound source, and even to listen to a person in a noisy crowd. This book reviews the mechanisms for temporal processing in the auditory system, looking at how these underlie specific clinical disorders, and their treatment.
Investigations in Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics
Investigations in Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics is a sequel to the eighth meeting of the International Clinical Phonetics and Linguistics Association, attended by delegates from 26 different countries. This book reflects the scope of the subject area of clinical phonetics and linguistics, the balance of input into it with respect to the different kinds of research being carried on, and the representation of researchers from different parts of the world. Its scope includes the application of all levels of linguistic analysis and the chapters of the book have been ordered as far as possible according to linguistic level, beginning with pragmatics and ending with acoustics. It will be immediately apparent that a greater number of chapters are concerned with applications of phonetics and phonology then with any other levels.
Auditory Processing Disorders
Auditory Processing Disorders: Assessment, Management, and Treatment, Third Edition details the definition, behaviors, and comorbidities of auditory processing disorders while educating the reader on the most current practices for audiological and speech-language assessment of APD, including its impact on literacy and language processing. Practical rehabilitation, management strategies, and direct evidence-based treatment programs, including the use of technology, are covered in detail. Auditory Processing Disorders is a highly practical book designed specifically for practicing clinicians and instructors, both audiologists and speech-language pathologists. It contains a comprehensive review...
Handbook of Japanese Applied Linguistics
Applied linguistics is the best single label to represent a wide range of contemporary research at the intersection of linguistics, anthropology, psychology, and sociology, to name a few. The Handbook of Japanese Applied Linguistics reflects crosscurrents in applied linguistics, an ever-developing branch/discipline of linguistics. The book is divided into seven sections, where each chapter discusses in depth the importance of particular topics, presenting not only new findings in Japanese, but also practical implications for other languages. Section 1 examines first language acquisition/development, whereas Section 2 covers issues related to second language acquisition/development and biling...
Empirical Approaches to the Phonological Structure of Words
One of the basic grammatical categories in linguistics is the phonological word. But how are words made up in terms of their sounds? And how is the information on the sound structure of words used in the processing of words? The multidimensionality of the phonological word relates it to semantics, morphology, phonology and syntax. It is nevertheless a category that has only been an object of serious study since the prosodic turn in phonology and thus cannot be considered an established category of grammatical description. This volume brings together scholars interested in the complex relations of the phonological word, applying different empirical approaches.
Lexical Bootstrapping
The internal bootstrapps for establishing the grammatical system of a human language build an essential topic in language acquisition research. The discussion of the last 20 years came up with the Lexical Bootstrapping Hypothesis which assigns lexical development the role of the central bootstrapping process. The volume presents work from different theoretical perspectives evaluating the strength and weaknesses of this hypothesis.
Diagnostik von Sprach- und Kommunikationsstörungen im Kindesalter
Sprachstörungen und Kommunikationsstörungen richtig diagnostizieren Das Lehrbuch bietet einen systematischen und umfassenden Überblick zur Sprachdiagnostik - von der Früherfassung bis zum Ende des Grundschulalters. Die (test)diagnostischen Grundlagen werden erläutert. Sprachentwicklungsstörungen, Früherfassung, Schriftsprache und Mehrsprachigkeit sind Schwerpunkte der Sprachdiagnostik. Auch die Bereiche Redeflussstörungen, Stimmstörungen und Unterstützte Kommunikation sowie weitere sprachliche und nichtsprachliche Entwicklungsbereiche werden vorgestellt. Ergänzt wird das Buch durch eine OnlineDatenbank mit 130 Testverfahren, die kategorisiert und bewertet werden. Zu jedem Test sind über 30 Merkmale gespeichert, was eine leistungsfähige Suche ermöglicht. Mit Beiträgen von Bettina Achhammer, Anke Buschmann, Susanne Cook, Marita Konerding, Thomas Lachmann, Steffi Sachse, Claudia Steinbrink.
Lehr-Lern-Forschung unter neurowissenschaftlicher Perspektive. Ergebnisse der zweiten Förderphase des Programms NIL: Neurowissenschaften – Instruktion – Lernen
Dieser Band, der die Ergebnisse der zweiten Phase des Programms NIL: Neurowissenschaften – Instruktion – Lernen des Bundesministeriums für Bildung und Forschung zusammenfasst, soll interessierten Leserinnen und Lesern aus Forschung und Praxis einen Einblick in aktuelle Forschungsvorhaben an der Schnittstelle zwischen Neurowissenschaften und Lehr-Lern-Forschung ermöglichen. Er belegt, dass die junge interdisziplinäre Forschungsrichtung der Educational Neuroscience bereits jetzt greifbare Ergebnisse vorweisen kann.
