Magnitude Estimation Of The Quality And Intelligibility Of Degraded Speech, Theresa Smith
Magnitude Estimation Of The Quality And Intelligibility Of Degraded Speech, Theresa Smith
Masters Theses
The purpose of the study was to identify within-group and between-group differences in perceived quality and perceived intelligibility of degraded speech for listeners with normal and impaired hearing. Following a visual magnitude estimation task, 10 subjects with normal hearing and 10 subjects with sensory-neural hearing impairment listened to connected speech samples degraded by seven levels of harmonic distortion and estimated the magnitude of their quality and intelligibility. Log average quality estimates and log average intelligibility estimates varied linearly with log degradation values for each group. The slopes of the log-log functions were interpreted as measures of perceptual sensitivity. Slopes for …
A Comparison Of Two Articulation Carry-Over Techniques, Robyn Schwartz
A Comparison Of Two Articulation Carry-Over Techniques, Robyn Schwartz
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the comparative effectiveness of two articulation carry-over techniques. It was hoped that through this comparison answers regarding carry-over results could be ascertained for purposes of aiding public school clinicians currently spending the majority of management time on carry-over. If one technique was found to be superior, its use among speech pathologists might aid in changing this time allocation trend.

The Determination Of Normal Bone Conducted Speech Results Utilizing A Radioear B-72 Bone Oscillator, Roger Edwin Lundberg
The Determination Of Normal Bone Conducted Speech Results Utilizing A Radioear B-72 Bone Oscillator, Roger Edwin Lundberg
Dissertations and Theses
The purpose of this study was to establish a normal, bone conducted intensity level for the speech reception threshold (SRT) and obtain a normal performance intensity function by bone conduction from 0 dB SL (threshold) through the maximum output level of the standard audiometer. All bone conducted speech test materials consisted of pre-recorded W-2 spondiac words and NU-6 monosyllabic speech discrimination word lists.
Evaluation Of Blissymbolics As A Means Of Communication For The Deaf-Cerebral Palsy Population, Linda Howells
Evaluation Of Blissymbolics As A Means Of Communication For The Deaf-Cerebral Palsy Population, Linda Howells
Loma Linda University Electronic Theses, Dissertations & Projects
The purposes of this study are:
- To present the deaf-cerebral palsied population with a more functional means of communication.
- To test the validity of using a non-vocal means of communication, Blissymbolics, when other more traditional methods of teaching communication skills (sign language or verbal communication) have been ineffective.
Blissymbolics has been found to be an effective means of communication with cerebral palsy children who are unable to develop verbal communication skills. However, there is no research in the use of Blissymbolics with the deaf-cerebral palsy population.
The traditional means of communication used with the nonspeaking deaf person (manual sign language) …

An Investigation Of Observer Evaluation Accuracy Of Clinical Sessions, Douglas Scott Peterson
An Investigation Of Observer Evaluation Accuracy Of Clinical Sessions, Douglas Scott Peterson
Dissertations and Theses
Student speech-language pathologists begin their academic preparation as observers. Observations of the clinical management session are for the purpose of providing student clinicians with insight into the management process by providing clinical models. To make observation experiences meaningful there must be some guiding framework which will demonstrate the significance of behaviors observed.
