Published: April 1992

The results are reported of the study of face perception in a group of 18 healthy subjects and 10 patients with lesions in the right or left cerebral hemisphere. The task given to these subjects included identification of a face photograph exposed for 20 msec in the right or left field of vision. The index of perception coefficient was the number of errors made while addressing the material to the left or right cerebral hemisphere. The results of the experiment confirmed the hypothesis of the dominant role of the right hemisphere for face perception. The results suggest also that face perception disturbances occur without respect to the site of lesion in the right hemisphere.

Background And Objectives: Some families faced difficulties accessing speech therapy in some areas of Malaysia and/or during the COVID-19 lockdown. Therefore, parent-mediated intervention could be one of the ways to solve this issue, as it has been proven to effectively improve communication skills among children with communication disorders. Hence, a Mandarin parental guidebook comprising a series of language stimulation activities was developed to explore the perception of parents of children with communication disorders, ranging from 3 to 6 years old, regarding the feasibility of (1) conducting speech-language home programs and (2) using a home-based parental guidebook as a tool to deliver a speech-language home program.

Speechreading-gathering speech information from talkers' faces-supports speech perception when speech acoustics are degraded. Benefitting from speechreading, however, requires listeners to visually fixate talkers during face-to-face interactions. The purpose of this study is to test the hypothesis that preschool-aged children allocate their eye gaze to a talker when speech acoustics are degraded.
