    Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to assess to what extent
    Design: A within-group design was adopted. All participants were administered the Matrix Sentence Test in 12 conditions (signal-to-noise ratios [SNR] of -3, -6, -9 dB; attentional resources focussed
    Study sample: Twenty-four normal-hearing adults, 20-41 years old (
    Results: A significant effect of the SNR was found for all measures. However, pupil dilation discriminated only partially between the SNRs. Neither of the cognitive manipulations were effective in modulating the measures. No relationship emerged between pupil dilation, RT and self-ratings.
    Conclusions: RT, pupil dilation, and self-ratings can be obtained simultaneously when administering speech perception tasks, even though some limitations remain related to the absence of a retention period after the listening phase. The sensitivity of the three measures to changes in the auditory environment differs. RTs and self-ratings proved most sensitive to changes in SNR.

    Abstract Swallowing disorders are common in neurological diseases, with dysphagia representing one of the most prevalent complications that may cause poor quality of life, reduce independence, and increase mortality. Rapid identification of dysphagia is necessary to reduce the risk of penetration and aspiration, and to early start rehabilitation protocols. Among the methods that can be used to evaluate dysphagia and its components, ultrasound imaging has been suggested to support the evaluation of dysphagia by providing measures of both static and dynamic anatomical components. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the usefulness of ultrasonography in neurogenic dysphagia according to current literature. From 2000 to 2020, 633 studies with the appropriate search terms for ultrasound and dysphagia were identified. After screening them, 10 studies were included in the qualitative analysis. Patients with the following neurologic conditions were studied with ultrasonography for dysphagia: Parkinson's disease, muscle dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and stroke. The main outcomes of ultrasonography were swallowing muscles thickness (e.g., tongue), and dynamic measures such as hyoid displacement. The different protocols used in the studies, as well as their outcomes, did not allow to provide standard procedures and normative or cut-off values in the presented diseases. Because there are a variety of tools, methods, and techniques that have been used in the studies that were reviewed, it is difficult to evaluate them using established standards. However, ultrasonography correlates well with clinical evaluation of dysphagia and therefore has prognostic and rehabilitation potential. Future studies should aim to develop and utilize a common interdisciplinary protocol that includes standard procedures and outcomes to define normative values applicable in the different conditions.
