Effectiveness Of Bite Charts In Behavioral Feeding Intervention, Natalie Gray, Melissa Council
2011 Awards for Excellence in Student Research & Creative Activity - Documents
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a bite chart as a method of positive reinforcement in behavioral feeding intervention. The bite chart was used to increase bite acceptance. Using a BAB research design, the researchers found the bite chart effective for two subjects with differing diagnoses, ages, environments, and therapists.

Articulation Rate And Its Relationship To Disfluency Type, Duration, And Temperament In Preschool Children Who Stutter, Victoria Tumanova, Patricia Zebrowski, Rebecca Throneburg, Mavis Kulak Kayikci
Faculty Research and Creative Activity
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between articulation rate, frequency and duration of disfluencies of different types, and temperament in preschool children who stutter (CWS). In spontaneous speech samples from 19 children CWS (mean age = 3:9; years: months), we measured articulation rate, the frequency and duration of (a) sound prolongations; (b) soundsyllable repetitions; (c) single syllable whole word repetitions; and (d) clusters. Temperament was assessed with the Children’s Behavior Questionnaire (Rothbart et al., 2001). There was a significant negative correlation between articulation rate and average duration of sound prolongations (p<0.01), and between articulation rate and frequency of stuttering-like disfluencies (SLDs) (p<0.05). No other relationships proved statistically significant. Results do not support models of stuttering development that implicate particular characteristics of temperament as proximal contributors to stuttering; however, this is likely due to the fact that current methods, including the ones used in the present study, do not allow for the identification of a functional relationship between temperament and speech production. Findings do indicate that for some CWS, relatively longer sound prolongations co-occur with relatively slower speech rate, which suggests that sound prolongations, across a range of durations, may represent a distinct type of SLD, not just in their obvious perceptual characteristics, but in their potential influence on overall speech production at multiple levels.

Faculty Research and Creative Activity
The purpose of the current study was to compare strength and hypertrophy responses to resistance training programs that instituted constant rest intervals (CI) and decreasing rest intervals (DI) between sets over the course of eight weeks by trained men who supplemented with creatine monohydrate (CR).
