Lesner, Sharon A. – Volta Review, 1988
Talkers vary widely in the ease or difficulty with which they can be speechread. Examined are variables contributing to visual intelligibility, comparisons with auditory intelligibility, the range of talker differences, characteristics accounting for these differences (facial cues, extrafacial gestures, rate, and rhythm), and implications for…

Boothroyd, Arthur – Volta Review, 1988
Hearing-impaired speechreaders use linguistic context to compensate for the poor visibility of some speech movements. Constraints on spoken language enhance speechreading performance and help compensate for the paucity of sensory data. The largest effects come from linguistic constraints imposed by sentence context--syntactic, semantic, and…

Monsen, Randall B. – Language and Speech, 1979
Reports that when hearing-impaired children imitated nonsense words containing bilabial consonants, the rank order of correct responses and total choices was "b" (highest), "m," and "p" (lowest). The data are discussed in terms of auditory-visual perceptions of the hearing impaired and the order of the sounds in normal-hearing children. (Author/RL)

Clark, M. Diane – American Annals of the Deaf, 1991
This investigation into the information processing strategies of 12 profoundly/prelingually deaf college students found that subjects with oral/manual educational backgrounds had higher levels of recognition than did subjects from oral-only educational backgrounds. Highest recognition was to the left and right of the fixation point, followed by…

Garstecki, Dean C. – Volta Review, 1988
Research is reviewed on auditory-visual speech perception of hearing-impaired individuals. The review focuses on: the effects of competing noise, filtering, age, stimulus and noise, and hearing loss on perceptual behavior; bisensory communication evaluation procedures; and remediation of bisensory perceptual problems through consonant recognition…

KEYS, JOHN W.; AND OTHERS – 1960
VISUAL AND AUDITORY CUES WERE TESTED, SEPARATELY AND JOINTLY, TO DETERMINE THE DEGREE OF THEIR CONTRIBUTION TO IMPROVING OVERALL SPEECH SKILLS OF THE AURALLY HANDICAPPED. EIGHT SOUND INTENSITY LEVELS (FROM 6 TO 15 DECIBELS) WERE USED IN PRESENTING PHONETICALLY BALANCED WORD LISTS AND MULTIPLE-CHOICE INTELLIGIBILITY LISTS TO A SAMPLE OF 24…
