The effects of reading acceleration on reading comprehension and decoding accuracy in high school students with reading disorders.
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Reading disorders have been hypothesized to result from an asynchrony between speed of processing characteristics of auditory and visual systems involved in decoding. It is hypothesized that reading at faster rates can ...
The Effect of Drawing to Enhance Word Retrieval in Individuals with Chronic Severe Aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The purpose of the current study was to examine if individuals with severe chronic aphasia could increase their ability to retrieve object names by implementing the compensatory strategy of drawing. This unique treatment ...
Structural aging of the utricular macula in mice
(East Carolina University, 2012)
CBA/CaJ is a mouse strain that has no known genetic mutations affecting the inner ear, thereby serving as a control model for auditory and vestibular aging. C57BL/6J and CE/J mouse strains carry the genetic mutation ...
Generators of mammalian vestibular surface responses to head motion
(East Carolina University, 2012)
The linear vestibular sensory evoked potential (VsEP) is thought to be the compound electrical response of peripheral macular neurons and central neural relays, and as such used to directly assess macular function. The ...

(East Carolina University, 2012)
Angela Ohlhaut. Effects of Instruction Method on Vital Capacity and Maximum Sustained Phonation in Adult Female Controls (Under the direction of Kathleen T. Cox, Ph.D.) Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders, ...
Frequency altered feedback for treating non-stuttering pathologies
(2012-09-04)
Methods and devices treat treating non-stuttering pathologies having impaired or decreased communication skills by administering a frequency altered auditory feedback signal to a subject having a non-stuttering pathology ...
Systems, Methods and Products for Diagnostic hearing assessments distributed via the use of a computer network
(2012-10-16)
The systems, methods and associated devices performing diagnostic hearing tests which use a computer network to allow interaction between a test administration site and one or a plurality of remote patient sites. The test ...
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 ...
Inhibition of Stuttering from Second Speech Signals: An Evaluation of Temporal and Hierarchical Aspects
(East Carolina University, 2012)
Stuttering is an intermittent and involuntary speech disorder overtly characterized by syllable repetitions, phoneme prolongations and postural fixations that disrupt the natural flow of speech. Overt stuttering is reduced ...
