High Degree

Measuring communicative informativeness under conversational discourse conditions is perhaps the most valid means of determining the interpersonal verbal communication abilities of adults with aphasia. Nevertheless, the data derived from such analyses are expensive to collect and subject to unknown sources of variability. In this study, samples of connected discourse were obtained from 20 subjects with aphasia under structured and conversational sampling conditions to determine the extent to which they were related on measures of communicative informativeness. Results revealed that subjects produced significantly greater percentages of informative words [i.e., correct information units (Nicholas & Brookshire, 1993)] under conversational discourse conditions, but that the percentage of correct information units produced during structured discourse tasks could be used to predict performance under conversational conditions with a high degree of accuracy.

And Training

Phoneme generalization as a function of phoneme similarity and the verbal unit in which the phonemes appeared was investigated. Subjects were children from the first and second grades. For all ten pretraining trials correct responses were reinforced. The test trial was presented on the eleventh trial. For all conditions the test and training stimuli were presented as part of a syllable and in some cases the syllables were words. Test and training stimuli were formed by altering the initial consonant of the syllables. For all conditions the training stimuli were either /c/ or /θ/ and the test stimuli were one of the following: /t∫/, /s/, /θ/, and /t/. The results indicated that stimulus generalization occurred with the test stimuli /t∫/ and /s/. The verbal unit of the test and training stimuli was found to influence generalization, although the findings were not consistent for the experimental sounds employed in the present study. It was also found that stimulus generalization can, for the most part, be maintained with reinforcement.
