Validation of two measures for assessing English vocabulary knowledge on web-based testing platforms
Two measures for assessing English vocabulary knowledge, the Vocabulary Size Test (VST) and the Word Familiarity Test (WordFAM), were recently validated for web-based administration. An analysis of the psychometric properties of these assessments revealed high internal consistency, suggesting that stable assessment could be achieved with fewer test items. Because researchers may use these assessments in conjunction with other experimental tasks, …
Validation of two measures for assessing English vocabulary knowledge on web-based testing platforms
The goal of the current work was to develop and validate web-based measures for assessing English vocabulary knowledge. Two existing paper-and-pencil assessments, the Vocabulary Size Test (VST) and the Word Familiarity Test (WordFAM), were modified for web-based administration. In Experiment 1, participants ( n = 100) completed the web-based VST. In Experiment 2, participants ( n = 100) completed the web-based WordFAM. Results from these experime…
Using TMS to evaluate a causal role for right posterior temporal cortex in talker-specific phonetic processing
Theories suggest that speech perception is informed by listeners' beliefs of what phonetic variation is typical of a talker. A previous fMRI study found right middle temporal gyrus (RMTG) sensitivity to whether a phonetic variant was typical of a talker, consistent with literature suggesting that the right hemisphere may play a key role in conditioning phonetic identity on talker information. The current work used transcranial magnetic stimulatio…

Leveraging interdisciplinary perspectives to optimize auditory training for cochlear implant users
This review examines the role of auditory training on speech adaptation for cochlear implant users. A current limitation of the existing evidence base is the failure to adequately account for wide variability in speech perception outcomes following implantation. While many preimplantation factors contribute to the variance observed in outcomes, formal auditory training has been proposed as a way to maximize speech comprehension benefits for cochl…
