Background
Picture naming is a common tool in aphasia diagnosis and therapy. However, opinions differ as to which type of image (e.g., photographs, drawings) is most suitable for naming tasks and whether there is a difference on naming correctness and latencies based on image type. Moreover, recent studies have mainly analysed colour photographs an...
Abstract (Deutsch)
E-Inclusion ist ein interdisziplinäres, schweizerisches Aphasie-Forschungsprojekt mit dem Ziel einen App-Prototypen für die Benenntherapie zu entwickeln. Dazu wurden wissenschaftliche Fragestellungen zu den drei Themengebieten Bildart, Sprachvarietät und neue Technologien in zwei Hauptstudien und fünf ergänzenden Studien untersu...
Naming latency (NL) represents the speech onset time after the presentation of an image. We recently developed an extended threshold-based algorithm for automatic NL (aNL) detection considering the envelope of the speech wave. The present study aims at exploring the influence of different manners (e.g., "m" and "p") and positions (e.g., "t" and "p"...
The language situation in the German-speaking part of Switzerland is diglossic, with Swiss German (regional dialects) and Standard German being used under different conditions.

Im Gegensatz zu anderen Dialekt-gebieten, genießt der Dialekt in der Schweiz hohes Pr...
