The Influence of Vocabulary Type and Complexity on Rapid Automatized Naming Tasks (RAN/RAS) in Children with Reading Disorders
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The present study was a pilot investigation that examined the role of vocabulary level and task type in rapid automatized naming tasks (RAN/RAS) in 15 adolescent children (ages 10-13) with average reading abilities and ...
The Effect of Noise Exposure on Auditory Threshold, Otoacoustic Emissions, and Electrocochleography
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
Noise exposure is the second leading cause of acquired sensorineural hearing loss and is one of the most common occupational and environmental hazards. Examining changes in behavioral thresholds has long been the standard ...
Variations in Craniofacial and Velopharyngeal Structures Among Individuals with 22q11.2 Deletion Syndrome
(East Carolina University, 2016-07-25)
22q11.2 deletion syndrome is the most common genetic cause of velopharyngeal dysfunction. Studies examining 22q11.2 deletion syndrome have thus far primarily focused on variations in the bony framework. Limited information ...
