Effekte simultanen Hörens und Lesens auf das L2-Lesen : eine Eyetracking-Studie im Bereich Deutsch als Fremdsprache
… The analysis of eye movements indicated that the auditory input had different effects on the reading behaviour of Chinese and German readers. The analyses of the questionnaires did not yield any differences in recall between the two groups, leading to the conclusion that the auditory input had no …

Determining Whether Position Specification of the Relevant Component Within a Cue Is Necessary for Cue Effectiveness.
… and their interrelationships. Early research in auditory processes assumed the simplest form, wherein such parameters as frequency, amplitude, and duration of a simple stimulus were investigated. Although sound sources in the environment rarely generate simple waveforms, the research was relevant …

Cochlear Implantation as a Treatment Option for Adults with Post-lingual Single Sided Deafness: A Systematic Review of the Literature
… in this population due to the loss of binaural auditory input. Cochlear implantation was introduced in the 2000s as an experimental treatment option for suppression/abatement of tinnitus in individuals with SSD, with consistent demonstration in reduction of tinnitus severity. Most recently, the …

Visual Perception in Hearing Sign Language Users
… are thought to compensate for an absence of auditory input. However, it is also possible that they reflect experience using a visual-manual language, where signers must process complex moving hand signs and facial cues simultaneously. Thus, the current study sought to isolate the effects of …

Generation of mismatch negativity in a sample of treatment-resistant schizophrenia patients
… stimulation while ignoring binaurally presented auditory input. The patient population showed a larger frequency-MMN amplitude than the normal controls. Separate analyses of the standard and deviant waveforms revealed the expected reduction in the amplitude of the MMN from frontal to central and …

A comparison of decontextualized and contextualized reading skills in persons with severe aphasia
… with the following supports: simultaneous auditory input, supplemental drawings or gestures, natural repetitions, consistent topic, and conversational order. Experimental conditions were administered in counterbalanced order across 5 sessions. Responses were scored for accuracy based on …

Unsupervised Phonetic Category Learning from Audio and Visual Input
… often a multimodal phenomenon (involving both auditory and visual cues), computational research has primarily modeled phonetic category learning as a function of only auditory input. In this thesis, I investigate whether multimodal information benefits phonetic category learning under a …

A Brain for Language and the Language of the Brain
… output message noise to the particulars of the input message. We show that predictions based on these models are corroborated by measurements of spiking activity in the visual geniculate of cats. The last section is centered in the problem of coding of complex spaces by the brain. We investigate …

Neurobiology of incremental speech comprehension
… transition from perceptual processing of the auditory input through a variety of cognitive processes involved in constructing the mental representation of the message that the speaker is intending to convey. Listeners carry out these complex processes very rapidly and accurately as they hear …

Motor control and directional accuracy of phonotaxis in female field crickets
… towards singing males: the first one is how the auditory input is integrated into the motor activity underlying their walking responses, and the second one is how accurately they can localize a singing male in a dynamic stimulus situation. Although it has been established that the conspecific …

The Effects of Visuospatial Sequence Training with Children who are Deaf or Hard of Hearing
… with a hearing loss. Evidence indicates that auditory input provides a foundation not only for speech and language development but for cognitive functions such as sequence memory and learning ability. This study investigated a variety of cognitive functions with two major aims in mind: 1) to …

Decoding Auditory Motion Direction And Location In hMT+/V5 And Planum Temporale Of Sighted And Blind Individuals
… this thesis addresses the neural mechanisms of auditory motion processing and the impact of early visual deprivation on motion-responsive brain regions, by using functional magnetic resonance imaging. Visual motion, and in particular direction selectivity, is one of the most investigated aspects …

Multimedia Input Modes, the Modality Principle, and the Redundancy Principle for University ESL Students’ Learning
<p>This study compared three multimedia input modes in the modality and redundancy principles (Mayer, 2009) in terms of university ESL (English as a Second Language) students’ learning and examined the applicability of the modality and redundancy principles for ESL students. Mayer’s modality and …

Investigating oral performance on controlled versus spontaneous speaking tasks: Implications for second language pedagogy and assessment
… EI elicited more cognitive strategies to process auditory input, while OPI elicited more metacognitive strategies for planning and communication strategies to deal with content breakdowns. In addition, the results revealed that both tasks tap into core components of language proficiency. The …
