Recent neurologic literature is reviewed for the purpose of proposing that limbic structures are the neurologic foundation of both the emotional and behavioral components of stuttering. This information is applied to four recognized models of stuttering etiology to refine and critique these models. A Limbic Model of Stuttering is proposed, diagrammed, and discussed. Implications for future research and clinical implications of the Limbic Model are presented. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 46-04, Section: B, page: 1140. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1985.

This study examines the rhetorical techniques used by the International or Boston Churches of Christ to persuade and/or coerce an individual into entering and remaining in the cult. The overarching question is whether these messages are distinctive and form a rhetorical genre. / In order to answer these questions, content analysis was applied to sermons from the Boston Churches of Christ and Mainstream Churches of Christ. The coding scheme was produced through examination of literature in sociology, psychology, and religious studies. / The research question asks whether differences existed between the sermons found in the Churches of Christ and the Boston Churches of Christ based on the categories assimilated from research. The sermons from the two groups were found to be different in style, structure and situation. The elements messianic proclamation, socially deviant behavior, authoritarian structure, forced regimens, isolation, and exclusivity are clearly present in a group widely proclaimed to be a cult. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 56-01, Section: A, page: 0031. / Major Professor: Thomas R.

The psycholinguistic model is a theoretical framework that details the speech processing system at various levels of input, storage, and output. In the case of a child with complex speech-language impairment, this study sought to determine if: (1) a psycholinguistic approach to assessment was effective in identifying the participant’s level(s) of speech and language deficit and (2) if intervention targeted to the identified level(s) of deficit was effective in treating the participant’s speech and language difficulties. First, a comprehensive battery of assessments was administered to identify the participant’s speech processing difficulties and relative strengths. Then, treatment was targeted to specific areas of deficit indicated by assessment. Results indicate that psycholinguistic assessment was effective in identifying the participant’s levels of breakdown in speech processing. Treatment results were variable, although considerable gains were made on primary objectives such as phonological awareness, reading and spelling, and speech production. Overall, findings suggest that a psycholinguistic approach may be appropriate for some children with complex speech-language impairment, although rapid gains may not be seen in each targeted area. / A Thesis submitted to the School of Communication Science and Disorders in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Spring Semester 2017. / April 10, 2017. / literacy, psycholinguistics, speech and language therapy, speech processing, speech sound disorder / Includes bibliographical references. / Toby Macrae, Professor Directing Thesis; Erin Ingvalson, Committee Member; Kaitlin Lansford, Committee Member.
