Voice Onset Time as a Clinical Indicator of Hypofunctional Voice Disorders.

Arnold, Amanda, Phillips, Lisa, Pickler, Lindsay, White, Whitney, McCamey, Amanda, McCrea, Christopher 01 November 2008 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to measure and compare the voice onset times (VOTs) of healthy individuals using a normal and breathy voice in an effort to determine if VOT can be used as a noninvasive clinical indicator of laryngeal function. Recordings were made of 20 adults between the ages of 20-48 with normal laryngeal function, each using a normal (Group 1) and breathy voice (Group 2). The participants’ productions were designed and collected in such a manner to control for speaking rate, vowel context, pitch, and loudness; all of which have been shown to influence VOT. A mixed analyses of variance showed that hypofunctional productions demonstrated longer VOTs across all stop consonants when compared to normal productions. Within the stops, a significant difference between the voiced and voiceless stops was noted, although no gender differences were found. It was concluded that VOT can be used as an indirect clinical indicator of laryngeal function.

Effects of Exogenous and Endogenous Distracters on Immediate and Long‐Term Recall in Toddlers

Dixon, Wallace E., Jr., Lawman, Hannah G., Johnson, Elizabeth B.H., May, Sarah, Patton, Leslie A., Lowe, Allison K., Snyder, Courtney M. 29 August 2011 (has links)
We explored the role that exogenous and endogenous competitors for attention play in infants’ abilities to encode and retain information over a 6‐month period. Sixty‐six children visited the laboratory at 15 months, and 32 returned for a second visit at 21 months. Children observed models of conventional‐ relation and enabling‐relation action sequences. Half the children were distracted by a “Mister Monkey” mechanical toy during the conventional‐relation sequence, while the other half was distracted during the enabling‐relation sequence. The Early Childhood Behavior Questionnaire indexed endogenous factors at both ages. Immediate postmodel production of target actions indexed encoding efficiency, and 6‐month production of target actions indexed long‐term recall. The exogenous distracter impacted encoding efficiency (i.e., immediate recall), but not long‐term recall. Endogenous factors (i.e., temperament) were primarily associated with long‐term recall. Of special interest was our finding that endogenous factors, especially surgency, moderated the effect of the exogenous distracter. It appears that when learning conventional‐relation sequences in the presence of exogenous distracters, surgency mobilizes attentional resources toward the learning objective; however, when learning enabling‐relation sequences under the same conditions, surgency either boosts the saliency of the distracters or boosts children’s susceptibility to them.

Training Clinical Judgment Skills for Interpreting Feeding Behavior in Preterm Infants: A Comparison of Video and In Vivo Simulation

Ewing, Jamesa R 01 May 2015 (has links)
Health and feeding outcomes for preterm infants depend upon healthcare providers’ ability to recognize non-verbal signs of distress during bottle-feeding. Methods of training future providers’ to interpret feeding behavior in preterm infants are unclear. This study used a pre-test/post-test design to compare the effects of in- vivo simulation and video-simulation training on students’ knowledge of feeding abnormalities, clinical judgment, and documentation accuracy. Fifty-two graduate level speech-language pathology students were assigned to the in-vivo (N= 27) or video-simulation (N= 25) group. Results revealed that both methods proved beneficial for increasing knowledge and clinical judgment skills. Participants trained using video-simulation training documented a greater number of distress signs. The use of patient simulators to train graduate level speech-language pathology students to use correct clinical judgment for managing abnormal feeding behavior is efficacious.

A Little PEP Goes a Long Way in the Treatment of Pediatric Feeding Disorders

Boggs, Teresa, Ferguson, Neina 31 March 2016 (has links)
Feeding disorder in young children is a growing concern, particularly feeding challenges with sensory and/or behavioral underpinning. These feeding disorders are characterized by food refusal, anxiety when presented with novel foods, failure to advance to textured foods, and inappropriate mealtime behaviors. The Positive Eating Program (PEP) was developed to remediate feeding disorders by providing rich experiences in food vocabulary, positive sensory nonfood and food activities, and structured and predictable through trials.

Neuroimaging & Rehabilitative Options in Vestibular & Balance Related Dysfunction Following Noise & Blast

Hall, Courtney D., Cacace, Abigail 10 April 2017 (has links)
This lecture takes a dual-targeted approach in: 1) acquainting the audience with newer neuroimaging techniques applied to the consequences of vestibular dysregulation following noise or blast-induced mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI); and 2) considers treatment and rehabilitation modalities of vestibular and balance dysfunction in order to help veteran’s resume normal activities-of-daily-living. Relevant examples from each targeted lecture will be provided. Intended Audience: Professionals interested in the area of vestibular and balance assessment, neuroimaging, and rehabilitation.
