A comparison of communication breakdowns and repair strategies used by cochlear implant children from two differenct methodologies

This study investigates how children with cochlear implants from simultaneous communications backgrounds and from oral education backgrounds experience communication breakdowns. The study examines each group's response to communication breakdowns and the repair strategies of each group.

Communication breakdowns and repair strategies in oral communication and total communication children with cochlear implants

This study assesses communication breakdowns in children with cochlear implants from oral and total communications backgrounds. More communication breakdowns occurred between the total communication child and the conversational partner than the oral communication child and the conversational partner. Both total and oral communication children used non-specific repair strategies.

Comparison of MAP kinases in the proliferation of chick utricular epithelial cells

Levels of activation of MAP kinase pathways and effects of inhibiting these pathways were examined in chick utricular epithelial cultures in order to determine the role of these pathways in proliferation.
