4. 7. Terminology support for diagnostic coding in primary health care

   Author : Håkan Petersson; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : MEDICINE; MEDICIN;

   Abstract : Coding systems have a long history in the field of medicine, and domains for which data are pooled and coded include, among others, epidemiological studies, medical insurance registers, and quality assessment. Unfortunately, coded data may be of low quality with poor validity and reliability, and decisions based on statistics are consequently not reliable. READ MORE

5. 8. Prosody and Prediction in Neural Speech Processing

   Author : Pelle Söderström; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Linguistics; ERP; fMRI; Prediction; Prosody; Syntax; speech processing; PrAN;

   Abstract : The present thesis investigated how listeners use prosody to rapidly predict upcoming lexical and syntactic structures. In the first three studies, it was shown that listeners take advantage of Swedish word-level tones to pre- activate upcoming word endings. READ MORE

6. 9. Rethinking Sound : Computer-assisted reading intervention with a phonics approach for deaf and hard of hearing children using cochlear implants or hearing aids

   Author : Cecilia Nakeva von Mentzer; Björn Lyxell; Birgitta Sahlén; Linköpings universitet; []

   Abstract : In the present thesis, computer-assisted reading intervention with a phonics approach was examined in deaf and hard of hearing children (DHH) aged 5, 6 or 7 years old using cochlear implants, hearing aids or a combination of both. Children with normal hearing (NH), matched for non-verbal intelligence and age, served as a reference group. READ MORE

7. 10. Semantic Framing of Speech : Emotional and Topical Cues in Perception of Poorly Specified Speech

   Author : Björn Lidestam; Björn Lyxell; Staffan Hygge; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Speech perception; speechreading; facial expressions; priming; phonemes; semantics; lipreading; auditory perception; cognition; paralinguistics; emotional content; Läppavläsning; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : The general aim of this thesis was to test the effects of paralinguistic (emotional) and prior contextual (topical) cues on perception of poorly specified visual, auditory, and audiovisual speech. The specific purposes were to (1) examine if facially displayed emotions can facilitate speechreading performance; (2) to study the mechanism for such facilitation; (3) to map information-processing factors that are involved in processing of poorly specified speech; and (4) to present a comprehensive conceptual framework for speech perception, with specification of the signal being considered.
