Effects of Frequency Altered Feedback on Reading Comprehension Abilities of Normal and Reading Disordered Children
Rastatter, Michael P.; Barrow, Irene M. (East Carolina University, 2007) -
The effects of reading acceleration on reading comprehension and decoding accuracy in high school students with reading disorders.
Carter, Matthew David (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 ... -
Frequency altered feedback for treating non-stuttering pathologies
Rastatter, Michael P.; Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Stuart, Andrew M. (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 ... -
Inducement of Fluent Speech in Persons Who Stutter Via Visual Choral Speech
Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Stuart, Andrew; Rastatter, Michael P.; Snyder, Gregory; Dayalu, Vikram N. (East Carolina University, 2000)A novel phenomenon of fluency enhancement via visual gestures of speech in the absence of traditional auditory feedback is reported herein. The effect on visual choral speech on stuttering frequency was investigated. Ten ... -
Investigations Of The Impact Of Altered Auditory Feedback In-The-Ear Devices On The Speech Of People Who Stutter: Initial Fitting And Four-Month Follow-Up
Stuart, Andrew; Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Rastatter, Michael P.; Saltuklaroglu, Tim; Dayalu, Vikram N. (East Carolina University, 2004)Background: Self-contained ear-level devices delivering altered auditory feedback (AAF) for the application with those who stutter were only recently developed (Stuart et al. 2003). Aim: This paper examines the first ... -
Methods and devices for delivering exogenously generated speech signals to enhance fluency in persons who stutter
Rastatter, Michael P.; Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Stuart, Andrew (East Carolina University, 2004-06-22)Methods and devices generate an exogenous natural second speech signal as an auditory stimulus to a user to enhance the fluency of persons who stutter. The natural speech signal is independent of the contemporaneous speech ... -
Methods and devices for enhancing fluency in persons who stutter employing visual speech gestures
Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Rastatter, Michael P.; Stuart, Andrew (East Carolina University, 2006-04-18)Methods, devices, and computer program products display visual choral speech to a patient who stutters or has a speech impediment or impairment as a visual stimulus for the patient to enhance the fluency of the patient. ... -
Self-contained In-The-Ear device to deliver altered auditory feedback: applications for stuttering
Stuart, Andrew; Xia, Shixiong; Jiang, Yining; Jiang, Tao; Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Rastatter, Michael P. (East Carolina University, 2003)The design and operating characteristics of the first self-contained in-the-ear device to deliver altered auditory feedback is described for applications with those who stutter. The device incorporates a microdigital signal ... -
Therapeutic device to ameliorate stuttering
Rastatter, Michael P.; Kalinowski, Joseph Stanley; Stuart, Andrew (East Carolina University, 1999-10-05)A device and method for ameliorating stuttering by providing an altered auditory feedback by employing a compact device configured for positioning in or adjacent the ear canal of an individual. The portable, self-contained ...
