True/False
An individual with hearing loss is more likely to recognize a word in a sparse neighborhood versus a sparse neighborhood.
True, less words that look or sound alike
When speechreading, the person attends to both the talker’s
auditory and visual signals
Auditory training can change a person’s hearing sensitivity.
False, Hearing sensitivity cannot be changed by auditory training.
Most new cochlear implant users enjoy music
False, most CI users tend not to enjoy listening to music through their cochlear implant
An experimental paradigm that has often been used to study audiovisual integration is called:
McGurk Effect
If you pay attention and you have a good viewing angle, you can usually lipread someone with about a 75% accuracy, even if you cannot hear the auditory speech signal.
False
T/F: Lipreading performance can be predicted gender, IQ, and/r socioeconomic status
False
People with hearing loss are likely to have impaired frequency selectivity but relatively intact temporal resolution.
False, Both frequency selectivity and temporal resolution are likely to be impaired.
In the latter part of the 20th century, ______________________________ led to an explosion in the development of auditory training materials.
cochlear implants
What is commonly assumed to affect speechreading performance?
Th talker, message, environment and te speechreader
It is impossible to tell whether a consonant is voiced or voiceless by using only the visual system.
True, you need audition to tell whether a consonant is voiced or voiceless
A visual lexical neighborhood is
a group of words that look very similar when presented in a vision-only condition
The amount of perceptual effort expended during listening does not affect either working memory or long-term memory.
False, When a person has to expend a great deal of perceptual effort during listening, cognitive resources are diverted from working memory and long-term memory.
Adults with _________________________ are most likely to receive auditory training.
A change in hearing status
b/ in the word boot versus /b/ in the word beet
coarticulation
Although the ability to lipread varies widely across the lifespan, within an age demographic (e.g., young adults, older adults), there is a large range of ability within each demographic.
True
When lipreading single words, on average, individuals recognize fewer than ____% of the words they see
20
Patients should be tested on items that happened during auditory training.
True, According to Transfer Appropriate Processing theory (TAP), patients should be trained with and tested on the kinds of stimuli and talkers which/who they most want to hear.
What are two types of auditory training for music?
1. Musical feature approach
2. Whole song approach
What are homophenes
Homophenes are words that look alike on the mouth.
Examples include:
rise/rice
mat/man
van/fat
A same/different task is an example of a meaning-based orientation.
True, Meaning-based orientation: all training stimuli should be meaningful; the use of nonsense syllables is discouraged, a same/different task would be an example of a meaning-based orientation task or a more difficult meaning-based activity would be to have the patient answer questions after listening to a 3-sentence paragraph.
The phonemes /b, m, p/ are an example of
Visemes: Visemes are groups of sounds that appear similar on the face
Drill based therapy is a recent trend in providing auditory training.
False, drill based training fallen out of favor and gamification, internet based and multiple-talkers has taken it place
Explain the difference between analytic and synthetic training.
Analytic training emphasizes the recognition of individual speech sounds or syllables. Synthetic training is interested in the meaning of an utterance, even if all of the sounds and syllables are not recognized.
Describe favorable seating for speechreading.
Favorable seating for speechreading is to be close enough to see the talker’s lips movements, being able to see the talkers full-face rather than in profile, and having the talker’s face well lighted.
