For both phonemic and allophonic palatalization in Polish, it was found that the most stable correlates of palatalization are the advancement of the tongue root and a combined effect of raising and fronting of the tongue body. The advancement of the tongue root can be interpreted as the driving force in palatalization, while the effect of tongue body fronting and raising can be seen as secondary, resulting from the movement of the tongue root and the characteristic of the tongue as a muscular hydrostat.The present work assessed Mandarin sentence understanding when the electric and acoustic portions are not temporally aligned in simulated combined electric-and-acoustic stimulation (EAS). A relative time shift was added between the electric and acoustic portions, simulating the temporal misalignment effect in EAS processing. The processed stimuli were played to normal-hearing listeners to recognize. Experimental results showed a significant decrease of the intelligibility score caused by the temporal misalignment in the two portions of EAS processing, suggesting the need to avoid temporal misalignment in EAS. The preceding acoustic-portion more significantly decreased the understanding of EAS-processed Mandarin stimuli than the preceding electric-portion.This study investigated the effects of hearing loss and hearing experience on the acoustic features of infant-directed speech (IDS) to infants with hearing loss (HL) compared to controls with normal hearing (NH) matched by either chronological or hearing age (experiment 1) and across development in infants with hearing loss as well as the relation between IDS features and infants' developing lexica
