Abstract The effects of memory books on the quantity and quality of conversations of 3 Mandarin-speaking Chinese persons with dementia were evaluated using a multiple baseline design across behaviors. Memory books containing 10 pages for each of 3 topics (subjects' daily life, family, and themselves), were used during 5-min daily conversational sessions and at 1- or 2-week follow-up sessions with the experimenter. The results revealed that all clients increased the number of on-topic factual statements and reduced ambiguous, unintelligible, and perseverative utterances during treatment and follow-up phases with the memory book. These findings replicate previous research on the effects of memory books on the conversation of English speaking persons with dementia.

Abstract This study examined the phonological awareness skills of 699 education professionals and paraprofessionals working in New Zealand primary schools. Performance in a phonological awareness test was compared across speech-language pathologists (SLPs, n = 34), primary school teachers (n = 208), teacher aides (n = 49), Resource Teachers of Literacy (RTLits, n = 80), Resource Teachers of Learning and Behavior (RTLBs, n = 26), early childhood educators (ECEs, n = 51), third year College of Education students (3YRBT, n = 98), and first-year College of Education students (1YRBT, n = 153). The results indicated large variability in New Zealand educators' capacity to segment words into sounds. SLPs performed at near ceiling (98% accuracy), whereas junior school teachers performed at 74% accuracy, teacher aides at 63%, ECEs at 56%, RTLits at 89%, RTLBs at 78%, 3rd year College of Education students at 68%, and 1st year College of Education students at 55%. The data suggest professional development in phonological awareness for all the educators as well as pre service teachers and teacher aides is warranted.
摘要本研究调查了新西兰小学699名教育专业人员和辅助专业人员的语音意识技能。比较了语言病理学家(slp, n = 34)、小学教师(n = 208)、教师助理(n = 49)、扫盲资源教师(RTLits, n = 80)、学习与行为资源教师(RTLBs, n = 26)、幼儿教育工作者(ECEs, n = 51)、教育学院三年级学生(3YRBT, n = 98)和教育学院一年级学生(1YRBT, n = 153)在语音意识测试中的表现。结果表明，新西兰教育工作者将单词分割成声音的能力存在很大差异。slp的准确率接近上限(98%)，而初中教师的准确率为74%，教师助理为63%，eca为56%，rtlit为89%，rtlb为78%，教育学院三年级学生为68%，教育学院一年级学生为55%。这些数据表明，所有教育工作者以及职前教师和教师助理都有必要在语音意识方面进行专业发展。

Abstract This study investigated the occurrence of middle ear disease (MED) and hearing loss across age and season in urban and regional indigenous primary school children (aged 3 to 15 years) from Western Australia. It compares the occurrence of MED and concomitant hearing loss in the urban and regional cohorts. Tympanometry and audiometry were used to determine ear health and hearing status. MED (Type B and C tympanograms) was diagnosed in 125 (30.64%) out of 408 urban participants and 68 (15.52%) out of 438 regional participants. The urban cohort of participants had a significantly higher proportion of MED than the regional cohort. There was a significant negative relationship between age and MED where the disease was highest in the youngest age group in both cohorts. The study found there was a seasonal influence on the occurrence of MED in the regional cohort but not in the urban cohort. Hearing loss concurrent with MED was detected in 71 (60.17%) out of 118 urban participants and 41 (71.93%) out of the 57 regional participants. The study informs health and educational authorities about the need for ongoing screening for MED and associated hearing loss. Implications of these high proportions and future directions are discussed.

Abstract The presence of more than one stop burst on the same stop consonant is termed a multiple burst (MB), and few studies are known to have quantitatively examined the presence of MBs in younger or older adults. Given that there is no known standard metholodology for identifying MBs, the current study describes a methodological approach to identify MBs. The study examines occurrences of stop bursts and MBs in initial stop consonants produced by younger adult (YA) and older adult (OA) speakers. A statistically significant loss of stop bursts was found in OA speakers for bilabials as compared to YA speakers. Although MBs were present across all places of stop articulation, they were predominant for the velar stop consonants. There were no age-related differences in MB occurrence, as they occurred in similar levels in both age groups. Previous research has found that velar stop consonants are more difficult to accurately produce for individuals with dysarthrias, and the current study extends this finding to both younger and older non-neurologically impaired individuals. Data are interpreted relative to the effect of aging on stop consonant production, and the data set the groundwork for future studies to examine bursts and MBs in different clinical populations.

This preliminary study investigated performance on a Korean language nonword repetition task (NRT) with school children in Korea. Results across different syllable lengths were examined for developmental changes. Forty-two typically developing Korean children from 7;0 through 10;7 years of age in first, second, and fourth grades participated. The first grade group did not perform as well as the others and showed diverse errors at syllable and phoneme levels. There was no significant performance difference between second and four graders even though the number of errors decreased as the grade increased. Results from this preliminary study support a large scale investigation with children in second grade and younger.

This study examined stimuli classification skills in stuttering and nonstuttering speakers using a group study design across two measurement times. Auditory P300 event-related potentials were assessed in 10 stuttering speakers and 12 nonstuttering speakers. Study participants were recorded twice: stuttering speakers before and after a 3-week stuttering modification treatment program and controls three weeks apart. Right and left hemispheric P300 responses to tonal and speechlike stimuli were measured
