The study compared the lipreading ability of normal-hearing subjects during focused and divided attention and related these measures to the visual contribution to audiovisual perception. Measurement of lipreading ability during divided attention was achieved through the use of a dual-task procedure in which subjects were required to visually identify stimulus items simultaneously with the performance of an auditory processing task. The divided attention condition served to decrease lipreading performance and increase recognition variability among subjects. Lipreading ability during divided attention was more highly correlated to visual contribution magnitude, defined as the difference between audiovisual and auditory-only recognition scores, than was lipreading ability measured during focused attention. Results are related to existing models of attention which attribute dual-task decrements to processing capacity limitations.

Background & Aim: The use of mechanical ventilation devices as a supportive respiratory system for hospitalized patients in intensive care units is often accompanied by the inability of alert patients to establish verbal communication. This study aims to determine the impact of patient communication software on facilitating communication for mechanically ventilated patients in the intensive care unit.
Methodology: This clinical trial was conducted with two groups, each comprising 60 alert, mechanically ventilated patients hospitalized in medical universities in Mashhad, from December 2022 to January 2023.

Watching a speaker's face improves speech perception accuracy. This benefit is enabled, in part, by implicit lipreading abilities present in the general population. While it is established that lipreading can alter the perception of a heard word, it is unknown how these visual signals are represented in the auditory system or how they interact with auditory speech representations.

Limited auditory input, whether caused by hearing loss or by electrical stimulation through a cochlear implant (CI), can be compensated by the remaining senses. Specifically for CI users, previous studies reported not only improved visual skills, but also altered cortical processing of unisensory visual and auditory stimuli. However, in multisensory scenarios, it is still unclear how auditory deprivation (before implantation) and electrical hearing experience (after implantation) affect cortical audiovisual speech processing.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study was to investigate the relationship between speechreading ability, phonological skills, and word reading ability in typically developing children.
Method: Sixty-six typically developing children (6-7 years old) completed tasks measuring word reading, speechreading (words, sentences, and short stories), alliteration awareness, rhyme awareness, nonword reading, and rapid automatized naming (RAN).
Results: Speechreading ability was significantly correlated with rhyme and alliteration awareness, phonological error rate, nonword reading, and reading ability (medium effect sizes) and RAN (small effect size).
