Cultural influence on listener responses to stuttering
(East Carolina University, 2010)Stuttering is a developmental, involuntary, and intermittent fluency disorder. During moments of stuttering, people who stutter demonstrate sudden onsets and offsets of the aberrant struggling behaviors, with primary ... -
Discourse Process Training and Attention Process Training 2 in Adults with Traumatic Brain Injury
(East Carolina University, 2019-05-01)Persons with traumatic brain injury (TBI) often present with relatively preserved lexical and grammatical skills but exhibit discourse level deficits which negatively affect functional communication. Discourse following ... -
Discourse Processing in Neurologically Healthy Adults: A Cross-Modal Eye tracking Study
(East Carolina University, 2021-07-20)One of the methods to study discourse comprehension is inference revision. Inferencing can be defined as a controlled, information-generation process that requires deductive reasoning abilities (Kintsch, 1998). Studies ... -
Discourse processing treatment for adults with aphasia.
(East Carolina University, 2015)The general goal of treatment for people with aphasia (PWA) is to improve their ability to communicate, which involves the discourse level. Treatment at this level is not a new concept, and there are many well-established ... -
Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emissions in Normal-Hearing Children with Homozygous Sickle Cell Disease
(East Carolina University, 2003)The purpose of this study was to investigate distortion product otoacoustic emissions (DPOAEs) in young normal-hearing children with sickle cell disease (SCD). It was hypothesized that the prevalence of DPOAEs and response ... -
Effect of Age, Gender, and Repeated Measures on Intraoral Air Pressure in Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2001)The effect of age, gender, and repeated measures on intraoral air pressure (P0) was examined. Sixty adults comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age groups (i.e., 20 to 39, 40 to 59, and 60 to 83 years) ... -
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 ... -
Effect of Normal and Fast Articulatory Rates on Stuttering Frequency
(East Carolina University, 1995)The effect of speech rate on stuttering frequency was investigated with 20 stutterers. Subjects read two different 300 syllable passages at a normal and fast speech rate. Stuttering counts and articulatory rate was determined ... -
Effect of Single and Combined Altered Auditory Feedback on Stuttering Frequency at Two Speech Rates
(East Carolina University, 1995)The purpose of the study was to determine if combining delayed auditory feedback (DAF) and frequency altered feedback (FAF) would be more fluency enhancing than either DAF or FAF alone. Ten stutterers read at normal and ... -
The Effect of Word Familiarity and Treatment Approach on Word Retrieval Skills in Aphasia
(East Carolina University, 2010)The purpose of this investigation was to examine the influence of subjective word familiarity on word retrieval ability and responsiveness to short, intensive aphasia treatment. Four native English-speaking participants ... -
Effects of Age, Gender, Bolus Volume, and Trial on Swallowing Apnea Duration and Swallow/Respiratory Phase Relationships of Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2001)The effects of age, gender, bolus volume, and trial on swallowing apnea duration (SAD) and swallow/respiratory phase relationships were examined. Sixty adults, comprised of ten males and ten females in each of three age ... -
Effects of Age, Gender, Bolus Volume, Bolus Viscosity, and Gustation on Swallowing Apnea Onset Relative to Lingual Bolus Propulsion Onset in Normal Adults
(East Carolina University, 2004)The purpose of this study was to ascertain the normal relation of swallowing apnea (SA) onset relative to lingual bolus propulsion along with factors that may alter this relation. Forty adults, composed of ten males and ... -
Effects of Frequency Altered Feedback on Reading Comprehension Abilities of Normal and Reading Disordered Children

Effects of Instruction Method on Vital Capacity and Maximum Sustained Phonation in Adult Female Controls
(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, ... -
The effects of presentation rate on semantic, syntactic, and orthographic processing and relationship to reading fluency in children
(East Carolina University, 2011)Reading fluency is the connection between reading decoding and reading comprehension. A child becomes fluent between second and third grade (Coltheart, 1978). However, it is unknown if fluency is strictly the result of ... -
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 ...
