From the time I was a graduate student in folklore at the University of Pennsylvania I have been interested in the ways that folklore studies and the health professions can be productively brought together, and I have always considered this to be a primary example of "applied folklore." My definition of applied folklore is simply the application of concepts, methods and materials from academic folklore studies to the solution of practical problems. In other words, I see applied folklore standing in the same relation to basic folklore research as engineering does to the basic natural sciences. Such an application of academic folklore knowledge to practical problems provides an excellent setting for the empirical testing to folklore hypotheses and generates by necessity a richly inter-disciplinary approach. Applied folklore, therefore, should be as productive for the academic folklore enterprise as vice versa, and this reciprocal advantage is best realized by folklorists with both basic and applied training and interests.

Observer Agreement

Groups of undergraduate and graduate stndent listeners identified the stutterings and disfluencies of eight adult male stutterers during videotaped samples of their reading and speaking. Stuttering and disfluency loci were assigned to words or to intervals between words. The data indicated that stuttering and disfluency are not two reliable and unambiguous response classes and are not usually assigned to different, nonoverlapping behaviors. Furthermore, judgments of stuttering and disfluency were distributed similarly across words and intervals. For both undergraduate and graduate student listeners, there was relatively low unit-by-unit agreement among listeners and within the same listeners from one judgment session to another.

Language Pathology

A graduate-level course in dysphagia is an integral part of the graduate curriculum in speech-language pathology. There are many challenges to meeting the needs of current graduate student clinicians, thus requiring the instructor to explore alternatives. These challenges, suggested paradigm shifts, and potential available solutions are explored. Current trends, lack of evidence for current methods, and the variety of approaches to teaching the dysphagia course are presented.
