Words with greater information load are more likely to elicit stuttering during spontaneous speech, and high-surprisal words may also increase communication demands. Read more in #JSLHR https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2026_JSLHR-25-00833 #SLPeeps
Working memory plays a critical role in speech production, but the full extent of this role is still unclear. This article in #JSLHR investigates how maintaining a vowel in working memory alters speech planning https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_JSLHR-25-00441 @asuhealthsolutions.bsky.social
People think of ongoing experiences as discrete events, and think of language in the same way. This article in #JSLHR examines how people pay attention to phonemes on the boundaries of sentences https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_JSLHR-25-00461
It's #ResearchTuesday!

Executive function has been identified as a potential area of vulnerability in individuals who stutter. This #JSLHR study identified and analyzed the data across empirical studies of the executive function skills of adults who do and do not stutter.

Recent studies have shown that orofacial somatosensory inputs may modify speech perception. This #JSLHR study explored the potential role of such somatosensory inputs in speech perception in those w/ hearing impairment. https://on.asha.org/4spqwU1

Automatic speech recognition (ASR) shows promise for use in intelligibility assessment in children w/ #dysarthria, newly published study in #JSLHR finds. https://on.asha.org/4rLuGFQ

The act of closing one's eyes during auditory tasks, particularly when processing ambiguous or complex auditory stimuli, is a common yet underexplored behavior. This #JSLHR study investigates how eye closure affects vocal expression perception.

This study in #JSLHR found that adults who stutter showed poorer phonemic and semantic fluency, suggesting weaker lexical access and executive control abilities https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_JSLHR-25-00437 @utaustin.bsky.social
Adults who wear cochlear implants experience changes in phonological processing, which change further with age. Learn more in this article from #JSLHR https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_JSLHR-25-00556
Lead author @jprestonslp.bsky.social writes "Biofeedback-enhanced speech therapy helped kids master the 'r' sound better than traditional therapy alone. Largest trial yet: 108 children, ages 9-15."

Precision of Tongue Control for Task-Relevant Articulatory Goals Diminishes Without Real-Time Auditory Feedback, #JSLHR study finds. https://on.asha.org/4s75Srw

#JSLHR findings support independent auditory–motor control mechanisms for articulatory & laryngeal subsystems in tonal language speakers, highlighting the need to study/model such subsystems separately. https://on.asha.org/4qFJmoR
Do veterans w/o measured hearing loss who present w/ self-perceived listening difficulties & no measured hearing loss engage w/ hearing aids in a way similar to veterans w/ hearing loss? #JSLHR study investigates. https://on.asha.org/46sDojZ

Speech perception skills are highly variable among children who are deaf and hard of hearing, and are foundational to language development. Authors in #JSLHR tested a new speech perception test for use in toddlers https://pubs.asha.org/doi/10.1044/2025_JSLHR-25-00600 @uconn.bsky.social
Do adults with DLD continue to exhibit differences in the dynamics of spoken word recognition observed in childhood or do they resolve by adulthood? This #JSLHR study aims to address a gap in research on real-time language processing.

#Bilingualism may enhance communicative adaptability in #autistic children by strengthening narrative cohesion through greater use of connectives and fewer inter-utterance silent pauses, #JSLHR study finds. https://on.asha.org/4kp8A9m

#JSLHR study examined how message framing and subsidy design influence hearing health care services use among older adults with hearing loss in rural China. https://on.asha.org/4bBipPd
#JSLHR study finds that #hypokinesia manifests in the tongue and lip more so than in the jaw. Only hypokinesia of the tongue may be reflected in severity ratings of articulatory subsystem impairment. https://on.asha.org/4qhzSzF

Can speech sound placement be predicted from audio alone? #JSLHR study shows that speech inversion neural networks can quantify articulatory proximity to the target sound in children with speech sound errors. https://on.asha.org/3OsaYQD

Randomized controlled trial, newly published this week in #JSLHR, showed that device fitting had no significant impact on outcomes at age 3 years, but early language input has a strong positive effect on language outcomes. https://on.asha.org/4a4zW1b
#JSLHR study investigated how individuals w/ congenital #amusia (or “tone deafness”) responded to lexical tones that differed in stimulus duration and that were carried by distinct syllables. https://on.asha.org/4qdimNa
#JSLHR study finds that children with developmental language disorder (#DLD) exhibit slower processing than age-matched peers with TLD--but they don't show impaired lexical priming. https://on.asha.org/4tcjrY6
#JSLHR study demonstrates that #hyponasality poses speech challenges for Mandarin-speaking children w/ CIs. Persistent difficulties in nasal–oral balance after implantation warrant targeted intervention during speech therapy. https://on.asha.org/3M341F6

In a #JSLHR study, authors used both the behavioral masking level difference & the electrophysiologic masking level difference to investigate age-related hearing loss, particularly by evaluating its peripheral & central components. https://on.asha.org/48Iu9fy @sigperspectives.bsky.social #SLPeeps
