Catalog description

Technology-based methods for transcription and analysis of language samples in the assessment of communication disorders. How the analysis of language samples collected during spontaneous speech production plays an important part in the assessment of such disorders and provides a key feature of research involving this population. Students will video-record an interaction between two speakers, learn to use digitized image and sound for transcription of language samples, and use a computerized method (the SALT program) for analyzing language samples collected during spontaneous speech.
