Audiovisual Speech Enhancement: Effects of Development and Hearing Loss, in partnership with American Auditory Society

Please note: exam questions are subject to change.

1. Which of the following is NOT true? Visual speech helps cue when to listen Visual speech helps to segregate the parts of acoustic input that belong to the person we are speaking with from other simultaneous sounds Visual speech helps to discriminate between certain speech sounds, especially those differing in voicing Visual speech provides cues to the amplitude envelope of acoustic speech
2. At what stage of typical development do we begin to see sensitivity to visual speech cues? Infancy Preschool-age School-age Adolescence
3. How does audiovisual speech enhancement differ between school-age children with typical hearing and school-age children who are hard of hearing? Children with typical hearing demonstrate greater audiovisual enhancement to speech recognition than children who are hard of hearing when listening to speech in noise and when listening to speech in a background of competing speech. Children who are hard of hearing demonstrate greater audiovisual enhancement to speech recognition than children with typical hearing when listening to speech in noise and when listening to speech in a background of competing speech. Children with typical hearing demonstrate greater audiovisual enhancement to speech recognition than children who are hard of hearing when listening to speech in noise, but children who are hard of hearing demonstrate greater audiovisual enhancement to speech recognition than children with typical hearing when listening to speech in a background of competing speech. Children who are hard of hearing demonstrate greater audiovisual enhancement to speech recognition than children with typical hearing when listening to speech in noise, but children with typical hearing demonstrate greater audiovisual enhancement to speech recognition than children who are hard of hearing when listening to speech in a background of competing speech.
