The Effects Of Closed Head Injury On The Learnability Of Blissymbols, Andrea J. Rabish
Masters Theses
This study attempted to determine the effects of cognitive-communicative functioning in individuals who have sustained closed head injury on learnability of Blissymbols. Two features of Blissymbols, translucency and complexity, were examined to find their effects on Blissymbol learnability. Another focus of the study was to determine the effects of translucency and complexity interaction on learnability. The final research question concerned the relationship of cognitive-communicative functioning and Blissymbol learnability. Nine Subject, each rated with the Ranch Los Amigo Scale of Cognitive Functioning, participated in a task that required learning forty Blissymbols in a paired-associative learning task. The subjects were divided into …

The Effects Of Knowledge Of Accrued Clinical Clock Hours On Supervisors' Evaluations Of Clinical Competence, Julie Ann Johnston-Palmer
The Effects Of Knowledge Of Accrued Clinical Clock Hours On Supervisors' Evaluations Of Clinical Competence, Julie Ann Johnston-Palmer
Masters Theses
Supervision in speech-language pathology is one facet of the field in which all speech-language pathologists have had to engage. The more that is known about the process of supervision the better future speech-language pathologists can be prepared to interact in a professional setting. Many variables are present in supervision related to the field of speech-language pathology. One variable which has received only minimal attention relates to the effect knowledge about a student clinician's number of accrued clinical clock hours has on the evaluation of the clinician's skills. The assumption is often made that a student clinician with more clinical clock …

The Critical Elements Of Collaborative Consultation, Kurt T. Kruger
Masters Theses
The purpose of this study was to identify the critical elements necessary for speech-language pathologists to implement an effective collaborative consultation model. A survey was mailed to 300 ISHA member speech-language pathologists working in Illinois schools. The survey contained elements of collaborative consultation originally identified by researchers and professionals in the field of communication disorders and sciences. Those elements identified by the survey respondents as being most critical were, (a) planning time, and (b) acceptance and support of administrators, teachers, and parents. The elements on the survey instrument ranked significantly lower than the rest were, (a) time to observe those …
The Incidence Of Word Retrieval In Children With Language And/Or Learning Disabilities, Kathleen Nordmann-Ochs
The Incidence Of Word Retrieval In Children With Language And/Or Learning Disabilities, Kathleen Nordmann-Ochs
Masters Theses
This study was conducted to determine the percentage of incidence of word-retrieval deficits in three diagnostic groups: language disabled, learning disabled, and language-learning disabled children. Forty-five children between the ages 9 and 12.9 years were chosen from elementary schools in central Illinois, including ten language disabled, fifteen learning disabled and fifteen language-learning disabled subjects. The Test of Word-Finding was administered to determine the presence or absence of a word retrieval deficit. Testing revealed that 90% of the language disordered subjects demonstrated a word-retrieval deficit; 94% of the learning disabled population displayed a word-retrieval deficit; and 100% of the language-learning disabled …
