Beyond the Basics I: The Need for Strategic Sampling for In-Depth Phonological Analysis.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Bernhardt, Barbara Handford; Holdgrafer, Gary – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 2001
Discussion of speech sampling in the assessment of children with phonological disorders focuses on the use of nonlinear phonological analysis, a method whereby multiple aspects or levels of a child's phonological system are examined. Principles and suggestions offer general guidance for adequate sample elicitation. (Contains references.)…

Method or Methodolotry: The Qualitative/Quantitative Debate.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Plante, Elena; And Others – Language, Speech, and Hearing Services in Schools, 1994
This reaction to Duchan (EC 607 918) warns against a strict dogmatic adherence to either a qualitative or quantitative research approach and argues that far more important than methodology per se are choice of research question and appropriateness of the methodology to the problem under investigation. Examples in speech-language pathology are…

Research to Practice (and Back Again) in Speech-Language Intervention.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Fey, Marc E.; Johnson, Bonnie W. – Topics in Language Disorders, 1998
Notes inherent differences between clinical practice and experimental research in speech-language intervention. It suggests that nonexperimental research can be a link between experimental investigation and clinical application. Both researchers and practicing professionals are urged to work in a complementary manner to develop effective…

A Developmental Conceptualization of Clinical Problem Solving.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Moses, Nelson; Shapiro, David A. – Journal of Communication Disorders, 1996
A taxonomy for assessing development of speech-language clinicians based upon cognitive learning theory was applied in the analysis of videotaped clinical sessions involving three student clinicians. Developmental profiles in three areas of clinical problem solving (perspective taking, variables considered, and solutions generated) were derived.…
