General Experimental Procedure

The effects of making time-out from positive reinforcement (TO) contingent upon stuttering were studied in four adult stutterers. The theoretical basis of the study revolved around the notion that speaking is self-reinforcing, and that making TO from speaking contingent upon a specific response will decrease the frequency of that response. The general experimental procedure was one in which subjects spoke spontaneously and a red light was illuminated for 10 seconds contingent upon each stuttering. Subjects were not allowed to speak while the light was illuminated. All four subjects evidenced a marked decrease in stuttering frequency during TO sessions. Some extinction of the suppression effect was observed during those sessions in which TO was removed.

A general experimental procedure is described for determining the complete linearized characteristics of a fluidic component over a wide band of frequencies. The method is applied to a large-scale Corning proportional amplifier with a 0.054-in. throat for frequencies up to over 3 kHz. Similarity was preserved for a 1/4 scale amplifier operating at atmospheric conditions. Since all eight independent complex-number self and transfer admittances are given for linearization about the symmetrical state, the results can be used to predict the behavior of the amplifier in any compatible coupled or uncoupled environment. The paper is continued in Part 2, ASME Paper No. 69-WA/Flcs-3, with an examination of the causes of the observed dynamic behavior in this and other proportional amplifiers.

A general experimental procedure is described for determining the linearized transfer admittances of a vortex amplifier. Flow response at the ports to a measured pressure perturbation applied to any one of them was obtained by hot wire anemometer. Self and transfer admittances were determined using a dual channel spectrum analyzer. The difficulties involved in such experiments are discussed. Measurements at two working points compare well with those predicted by the theoretical model developed in Part 1 of this paper.
