Communicative Behavior of mothers of stuttering and nonstuttering high-risk children prior to the onset of stuttering
Journal of Fluency Disorders, 1995Co-Authors: S.a.m. Kloth, Peggy Janssen, Floor Kraaimaat, Gene J. BruttenAbstract:This portion of a multiyear prospective study was designed to investigate the Communicative style, speaking rate, and language complexity of 93 mothers of preschool children with a parental history of stuttering. At the initial session none of the children sampled was regarded as being a stutterer. One year later, 26 of the children were classified as stutterers. Statistical analyses revealed that prior to the onset of stuttering the mothers of these children did not differ from the mothers of the children who continued to be seen as nonstutterers with respect to either Communicative style or speaking rate. The only significant difference between the two groups of mothers was the complexity of their language. The pre-onset mean lengths of utterance (MLUs) of the mothers of children who later came to be regarded as stutterers were significantly shorter than those of the mothers whose children continued to be viewed as being fluent. These findings suggest that the Communicative Behavior of mothers of normally fluent children do not contribute to the development of stuttering.

The predictive value of measures of preverbal Communicative Behaviors in young deaf children with cochlear implants.
Ear and hearing, 1997Co-Authors: M. Tait, M E LutmanAbstract:Objective: To determine whether measures of early Communicative Behavior in young children obtained within the first year after implantation could predict speech and language skills measured 3 yr after implantation. Design: An unselected sample of 17 children receiving multichannel cochlear implants under the age of 5 yr were monitored over a 3 yr period. During the first year after implantation, the development of early Communicative Behavior was measured at intervals using an established video analysis technique. Three years after implantation, four outcome measures were taken: the IOWA closed-set sentence test, a measure of continuous discourse tracking ability, a rating of ability to use the telephone and a global rating of auditory performance. Results: There was a significant correlation between the video analysis measure taken at the 12 mo interval, specifically the extent of auditory and vocal Behaviors, and three of the outcomes obtained at the 3 yr interval: both performance-based measures and the telephone rating. When the four outcomes were aggregated to form a composite measure, the correlation was highly significant. There was no significant correlation between the composite measure and the video analysis measures obtained earlier than the 12 mo interval. Conclusion: Development of a predominantly auditory and vocal style of early Communicative Behavior is predictive of relatively high levels of skill on speech and language tasks measured 2 yr later.

Comparison of early Communicative Behavior in young children with cochlear implants and with hearing aids.
Ear and hearing, 1994Co-Authors: M. TaitAbstract:Analysis of preverbal Behaviors, which are the natural precursors of language development, was performed in three groups of young children with severe/profound hearing impairments, based on video recordings of interactions with a known adult. All groups were matched for age at assessment. One group of nine children had Nucleus multichannel cochlear implants with the MSP sound processor, whereas the other two groups of nine children each used conventional hearing aids. The first hearing aid group had unaided hearing threshold levels averaging 101 dB and were proficient users; the second aided group had hearing threshold levels averaging 114 dB and were poor users. Over the assessment period lasting 12 mo, starting at implantation or entry to nursery school according to group, implantees and proficient hearing aid users developed a strongly vocal/auditory style of Communicative Behavior, especially the implantees. This contrasted with a strongly visual/gestural style developed by the poor hearing aid users. It is concluded that implantees develop their early Communicative Behavior along lines that are similar to proficient hearing aid users, but more rapidly and more strongly in the vocal/auditory direction.

ICSTCC - Analysis of Formats of Young People’s Communicative Behavior in Social Network
2020 24th International Conference on System Theory Control and Computing (ICSTCC), 2020Co-Authors: Igor Kotenko, Alexander Branitskiy, Artem Tishkov, Elena DoynikovaAbstract:The research is devoted to the analysis and classification of young people’s Communicative Behavior in social network. We define this Behavior as information provided within the user’s profiles in the social network. To classify young people’s Communicative Behavior we use the scales of Ego-structure test (by G. Ammon). The neural networks are used for classification. The paper describes the feature extraction process for neural network training. The features are based on the information provided within the user’s profiles. The experimental results for different classifiers are given. The analysis of the used classification is conducted and directions of future work are described.

early Communicative Behavior in young children receiving cochlear implants factor analysis of turn taking and gaze orientation
The Annals of otology rhinology & laryngology. Supplement, 1995Co-Authors: M E Lutman, D M TaitAbstract:Early Communicative Behaviors in young children can be analyzed quantitatively from recordings of interactions between the child and a known adult. Our previous work has shown that the development of such Behaviors differs markedly between profoundly deaf young children 1) able to make proficient use of hearing aids or having cochlear implants and 2) unable to make proficient use of hearing aids. The former take turns mainly by vocalization, whereas the latter take turns mainly by gesture. The present study set out to examine whether these contrasts in Behavior demonstrated between groups are also observable within a group of young children having cochlear implants, and to examine their development over the first year of implantation. In the 20 children with complete data at the 12-month interval, two clear factors were identified that explained 72% of the variance. These can be labeled as 1) vocal-auditory turn-taking and 2) gaze orientation. All measures of Communicative Behavior, other than autonomy, showed significant development over the 12 months following implantation, although the observed increase in eye contact was small. No differences could be demonstrated between children with congenital and acquired deafness. It is concluded that the technique based on video analysis is sensitive to changes in early Communicative Behavior in the year after implantation. Deviations from the expected pattern may indicate inappropriate processor adjustment, device malfunction, or inadequate support.
