Troy, Patrick (University of Limerick, 2013)

Background: Anomia varies widely across aphasic individuals. Particularly important are the types of errors that aphasics make. Error types, whether semantic or phonological, can provide clues as to where the breakdown has ...

O'Shea, Sheila (University of Limerick, 2013)

Background: There is a limited evidence base available in the area of oral language comprehension for children with primary language comprehension difficulties, with existing research which demonstrates treatment effectiveness ...
An investigation of non-word discrimination and phonological representation in a sample of children with speech sound disorders

Quinlan, Juliet (University of Limerick, 2015)

Background: Resolution of SSDs without therapy occurs for some children. Identification of those unlikely to resolve spontaneously would facilitate effective targeting of intervention resources. A test of non-word ...
An investigation of the effects of noise exposure and history of otitis media on hearing thresholds in a student population

Walker, Shevon (University of Limerick, 2013)

Background: People’s devotion to music and the proliferation of personal listening devices (PLDs) has become a cultural phenomenon, yielding concerns from researchers and media that noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) is ...
