added to the limitations of the method. It could be argued that random sampling would provide a

The ten participates that were target as stutters were divided into groups. Five were group IA the experimental set and group IB were the control set. Group IA was told that there speech was fine and they had no problem. The other group IB was told your “''Yes, your speech is as bad as people say.'' The remaining twelve were ages 5-15 and was chosen randomly and they were separate into two groups of six. Group IIA were told that they were showing signs of stuttering and they must correct themselves immediately. In Group IIB, this was the control group and they were told that their speech was normal and was praised for their enunciation. The subjects in Group IIA sought a lawsuit against the University of Iowa because of their psychology harmed they received from this study.

The objective of this study was to determine the outcomes of a simple syllable-timed speech treatment for school-aged children with a stutter. The researchers aimed to uncover whether syllable-timed speech (STS) could reduce stuttering in school age children who stutter. The authors sought to further investigate whether the empirical and theoretical basis upon which this therapy was built would translate into a practical treatment to increase fluency.

Before this pill can be distributed, there are some issues with the experiment design that should be addressed by the experimenters. One of these problems was the patients were selected from two different speech specialists. Dr. Robertson, a speech therapist who helps actors overcome their stutters, and Dr. Smith, a psychologist who helps kids who can’t speak because of delayed verbal development. The subjects in the treatment group where Dr. Robertson’s patients and the subjects in the placebo group were Dr. Smith’s patients. Both doctors have different training and treatment methods. Since Dr. Robertson is specifically a speech therapist, he may have more experience or knowledge in how to help people with speech impediments than Dr. Smith, who is just a psychologist. In addition, the subjects in both groups had completely different speech disabilities. Dr. Robertson’s patients, or the treatment group, only had stutters while Dr. Smith’s patients, or the placebo group, could not speak at all. A stutter may be easier to treat in a month than muteness, making it

After months of doing the experiment, Group A and B were compared to see who improved, and who get worse in this study. The hypothesis approved that Group A who have been told that they have a good speech showed an obvious development in their speech. However, in group B, the children were worse. They had stutter, or their speech get worse, because they were told their speech was bad. The conclusion of the study was stutter can developed and get worse, and it is a medical conditions.

Each participant was assessed by a speech-language pathologist in a quiet room as a part of the pre-treatment assessment. Each participant’s speech, oromotor, and receptive language skills were assessed to determine their differential diagnosis. The participant’s speech skills were assessed by using the Articulation, Inconsistency and Phonological Assessments of the Diagnostic Evaluation of Articulation and Phonology (DEAP). This assessment allowed researcher to obtain standard scores with a mean of 10 and normal range of 7-13 (Crosbie et al. 2005). The speech-language pathologist who conducted the assessment made on-line transcriptions of the data. These transcriptions were then compared to the audio recordings of the session to determine

Random Sample: A sample in which every “person of interest” has an equal chance of being selected into your research study.

In the following paper I aim to highlight the roll of the brain in the body and it’s different parts that come together to form the most complex organ in the body and what drug use and abuse can do both in the short term and long term. The focus of this paper will be on two specific substances; cocaine and opiates. It will examine what each substance and does to the brain and what, if any, long term affects it has on the brain.

Ecstasy is both a hallucinogenic, causing hallucination, and a stimulant drug. Ecstasy is the name given to methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA). It was first synthesized in 1912 by Merck chemist Anton Köllisch. Ecstasy appears to disturb the body 's ability to regulate its temperature and this can lead to serious problems with overheating of the body. Ecstasy can be swallowed as a pill or tablet or snorted like a powder. Users of ecstasy can experience a rush of good feelings, a high, and makes someone 's feelings much more intense, whether they 're good or bad feelings. Ecstasy’s effects usually last up to 6 hours.

Author Michael Blomgren, who is a part of the Communication Sciences and Disorders at the University of Utah. One the article talks about is the the Lidcombe Program (Harrison, Onslow, & Rousseau, 2007; Onslow, Costa, & Rue, 1990; Onslow, Packman, & Harrison, 2003). This program is to achieve an absolute zero level of stuttering in preschool children. It was developed at the University of Sydney, Australia.

The consequences of alcohol include short-term and long-term effects. The short-terms effects include memory loss, recklessness, impaired judgement, drowsiness, and nausea. The long-term effects include decrease in brain size, liver disease, cancer, malnutrition, cardiovascular disease, alcohol poising, and death (American Addiction Centers, 2018).

Many psychiatric and psychoactive drugs that are available on the market, pharmaceutically or illegally, closely resemble neurotransmitters and are actually able to mimic it to the extent that it fools the receptors. Basically, these drugs hijack the neurotransmitters. Once these drugs are ingested, it enters into the brain, gets into the synapse and binds itself to the receptor. This then causes the inappropriate release of neurotransmitters and alter the breakdown and recycling of neurotransmitters or can be used to destroy particular neurotransmitters completely (Sapolsky, 2005, p. 14).

Next, the research was examined for quality. Maddy et al. (2014) selected two speech-language pathologists to review the research independently. Ten of the eleven studies were assessed using the Single Case Experimental Design Scale. One study was not assessed using this method to due the fact it did not use a single subject research design. In addition, each study was evaluated using

Many speech language pathologists (SLPs), after diagnosing a child with stuttering are left with the problems of what treatment program should be implemented and what are the chances that the

As an adolescent I was interested in the biochemical and physiological effects drugs had on the human body. It was fascination to me how something as simple as taking Advil could relieve a bad headache or taking Nyquil could ease the symptoms of a cold. I was unaware that I wanted to become a pharmacist and have patient interactions until I started shadowing a pharmacist. The first day I volunteered at my local pharmacy an older gentleman walked in after having had a check-up with his physician. I noticed that he looked dazed and confused as he handed the prescription to the pharmacy technician. He started to explain to us that his doctor changed his medications and did not understand why or what his new medications were. The pharmacists
