This research examined deviant talk during summer residential treatment using peer nominations and extensive field observations. Participants were 239 youth (M (age) = 12.62, SD = 2.60; 67% male), nested in 26 treatment groups. Deviant talk was present in this setting, showed individual differences, and increased over time, especially for younger boys. As expected, its relationship to treatment response was moderated by peer behavior. Initial levels of individual deviant talk were related to clinical improvement, but primarily when peer deviant talk was low. Initial levels of peer deviant talk were related to higher than expected end of treatment aggression, especially for youth who were high in deviant talk. Deviant talk effects were observed for staff impressions of change and observations of aggression and adjustment. Initial antisocial behavior affected whether individual or peer levels of deviant talk more heavily influenced treatment response. Implications for clinical assessment and treatment monitoring are discussed.

Age and Sex Differences in Infants' Neural Sensitivity to Emotional Prosodies in Spoken Words: A Multifeature Oddball Study.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
January 2025
Department of Speech-Language-Hearing Sciences, University of Minnesota, Twin Cities.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate infants' neural responses to changes in emotional prosody in spoken words. The focus was on understanding developmental changes and potential sex differences, aspects that were not consistently observed in previous behavioral studies.
Method: A modified multifeature oddball paradigm was used with emotional deviants (angry, happy, and sad) presented against neutral prosody (standard) within varying spoken words during a single electroencephalography recording session.
Speech Mismatch Negativity (MMN) in Schizophrenia with Auditory Verbal Hallucinations.
Clin EEG Neurosci

Auditory verbal hallucinations (AVH) are experienced by many individuals with schizophrenia (SZ), a neurodevelopmental disease that encumbers the quality of life and psychosocial outcome of those afflicted by it. While many hypotheses attempt to better define the etiology of AVHs in SZ, their neural profile and its moderation by current neuroleptics remains limited. The Mismatch Negativity (MMN) is an event related potential (ERP) measured from electroencephalographic (EEG) activity during the presentation of a deviance detection auditory paradigm.

Many studies have shown that input in more than one language influences children's phonemic development. In this study, we examined the neural processes supporting perception of Voice Onset Time (VOT) in bilingual Italian-German children and their monolingual German peers. While German contrasts short-lag and long-lag, Italian contrasts short-lag and voicing lead.

Background: The present study compared the central auditory processing abilities using electrophysiological tests in children with non-syndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) and their age-matched control group.
Method: Thirty children aged 7 to 15 years were recruited for the study. Participants were divided into 2 groups.
Are Late Talkers Just Late? Neighborhood Density and Word Frequency Properties of Late Talkers' Spoken Vocabularies.
J Speech Lang Hear Res
October 2024
Department of Communication Disorders, Sacred Heart University, Fairfield, CT.
Purpose: Typically developing toddlers extract patterns from their input to add words to their spoken lexicons, yet some evidence suggests that late talkers leverage the statistical regularities of the ambient language differently than do peers. Using the extended statistical learning account, we sought to compare lexical-level statistical features of spoken vocabularies between late talkers and two typically developing comparison groups.
Method: MacArthur-Bates Communicative Developmental Inventories American English Words and Sentences ( = 1,636) were extracted from Wordbank, a database of CDIs.
