Reliability of the Critical Thinking in Communication Science and Disorders: A Content-Specific Critical Thinking Assessment
Conclusion: The results indicate the reliability of the CTCSD. In combination with previous results indicating the face, construct, and criterion validity of the CTCSD, it appears to have psychometric strength. The CTCSD may help academic and clinical faculty select learning activities and focus feedback to their graduate students in order to reinforce skills the students exhibit and to develop other skills.

Language in healthy ageing: A comparison across language domains
Conclusion: Not all linguistic domains are equally vulnerable in ageing, and not all older adults are equally affected. The research has both clinical and theoretical implications. (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

The influence of three feedback conditions on performing a swallow motor pattern in healthy adults
Abstract
Introduction: Motor learning is the process involved in acquiring and refining motor skills, which relies on accurate practice and feedback. The purpose of the current investigation was to examine the influence of three types of feedback on successfully performing a swallow motor pattern of a common swallowing intervention known as the Mendelsohn Maneuver (MM).
Method: One hundred twenty healthy participants were randomized to one of three feedback conditions: (1) visual and verbal feedback (VVF), (2) verbal feedback only (VF), and (3) intrinsic feedback (IF). Participants were asked to perform a swallow motor p...

Verifying Efficacy of Self-Inhalation Training for Velopharyngeal Dysfunction
Conclusion: The results of our MRI study supported our training method. Using inhalation through a PIF meter or from a plastic bottle to create resistance strengthens particularly the levator veli palatini muscle for velopharyngeal closure, which may be useful in patients with other acquired velopharyngeal dysfunctions including physiological aging. Also, anyone anywhere can train with plastic bottles.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Neuropsychological Differences between the Unilateral and Bilateral Tinnitus Participants with Normal Hearing
Conclusion: Tinnitus, whether unilateral or bilateral, has an effect on working memory. The RAVLT and DST results, on the other hand, demonstrated that unilateral tinnitus suffers from significant deficits in auditory memory and attention, whereas bilateral tinnitus suffers from selective attention issues. When treating individuals with unilateral and bilateral tinnitus, these findings must be addressed.Folia Phoniatr Logop (Source: Folia Phoniatrica et Logopaedica)

Neuro-Psychological differences between the unilateral and bilateral tinnitus participants with normal hearing.
Objective: This paper attempts to describe the neuropsychological differences between subgroups of tinnitus with normal hearing. Materials and Methods: The study compared 150 normal-hearing participants with and without tinnitus in the 18-55 age group. The participants completed nine neuropsychological tests, namely; Reys auditory verbal learning test (RAVLT), Rey complex figure test (RCFT), digit vigilance test (DVT), Verbal N backtest (N Back), Controlled oral word association test (COWA), Animal names test (ANT), Digit Symbol Substitution test (DSST), Wechsler digit span test (DST) and Stroop test. Results: Poor verbal ...

An Efficacy Study of Voice Quality Using Cepstral Analyses of Phonation in Parkinson ’s Disease before and after SPEAK-OUT!®
Conclusion: SPEAK-OUT! ® is effective in improving voice quality in patients with hypokinetic dysarthria due to idiopathic PD. Patients with more severe dysarthria and with a shorter disease duration may benefit the most, supporting earlier intervention. As for the type of measurement, AVQI combines acoustics from both v owel and sentence contexts and may therefore be the measure of choice over CPPS (vowel) or CPPS (sentence).
