The third edition of Language Sampling With Children and Adolescents: Implications for Intervention provides guidelines for analyzing spoken and written language production in both children and adolescents. The text, which is geared for graduate students and practicing speech-language pathologists, has been expanded to include preschool children (ages 3–4 years) and school-age children (ages 5–11 years), in addition to adolescents (ages 12–18 years). Included within the book are numerous figures, tables, and practical exercises (with answer keys) to help readers understand how to analyze the content and structure of the different discourse genres—conversational, narrative, expository, and persuasive—and how to utilize this information in establishing functional language goals and implementing intervention activities for children and adolescents with language disorders. The ability to express oneself with accuracy, clarity, and efficiency is essential for success in social, academic, and vocational settings. Language Sampling With Children and Adolescents: Implications for Intervention, Third Edition, is a must-have resource for those working with preschool children, school-age children, and adolescents. Includes grammar review and exercises! New to the Third Edition: * Now also covers preschool and school-age children * Each genre (conversation, narration, exposition, persuasion) now has its own chapter * Grammar review and exercises (with answer keys) have been expanded * Includes greater number of language samples to analyze (with answer keys) * Includes more normative data for spoken and written language production * Offers greater direction for intervention * Includes more case studies * All chapters have been updated to reflect recent research

Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the use of computerized text analysis methods to address basic psychological questions. This comprehensive handbook brings together leading language analysis scholars to present foundational concepts and methods for investigating human thought, feeling, and behavior using language. Contributors work toward integrating psychological science and theory with natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. Ethical issues in working with natural language data sets are discussed in depth. The volume showcases NLP-driven techniques and applications in areas including interpersonal relationships, personality, morality, deception, social biases, political psychology, psychopathology, and public health.

School success in the 21st century requires proficiency with expository discourse -- the use and understanding of informative language in spoken and written modalities. This occurs, for example, when high school students read their textbooks and listen to their teachers' lectures, and later are asked to demonstrate their knowledge of this complex topic through oral reports and essay examinations. Although many students are proficient with the expository genre, others struggle to meet these expectations. This book is designed to provide information on the use and understanding of expository discourse in school-age children, adolescents, and young adults. Recently, researchers from around the world have been investigating the development of this genre in typical students and in those with language disorders. Although many books have addressed the development of conversational and narrative discourse, by comparison, books devoted to the topic of expository discourse are sparse. This crossdisciplinary volume fills that gap in the literature and makes a unique contribution to the study of language development and disorders. It will be of interest to a range of professionals, including speech-language pathologists, teachers, linguists, and psychologists who are concerned with language development and disorders.

This book discusses the latest advances in human factors and ergonomics, focusing on methods for improving quality, safety, efficiency, and effectiveness in patient care. By emphasizing the physical, cognitive and organizational aspects of human factors and ergonomics applications, it reports on various perspectives, including those of clinicians, patients, health organizations and insurance providers. The book describes cutting-edge applications, highlighting the best practices of staff interactions with patients, as well as interactions with computers and medical devices. It also presents new findings related to improved organizational outcomes in healthcare settings, and approaches to modeling and analysis specifically targeting those work aspects unique to healthcare. Based on the AHFE 2016 International Conference on Human Factors and Ergonomics in Healthcare, held on July 27-31, 2016, in Walt Disney World®, Florida, USA, the book is intended as timely reference guide for both researchers involved in the design of healthcare systems and devices and healthcare professionals aiming at effective and safe health service delivery. Moreover, by providing a useful survey of cutting-edge methods for improving organizational outcomes in healthcare settings, the book also represents an inspiring reading for healthcare counselors and international health organizations.

Purpose: Conversation, narrative, and expository language sampling contexts are recommended for school-aged children (Pezold et al., 2020), and multiple ways to analyze these samples have been promoted in the clinical literature. This dissertation addressed two gaps in the literature related to analyses and sampling contexts. The purpose of study one was to examine differences in two commonly-used language sample analysis methods, Sampling Utterances Grammatical Analysis Revised (SUGAR) and Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts (SALT). The purpose of study two was to examine the presence of age-related changes in conversation, narrative, and expository contexts for older school-aged children.Method: Conversational, narrative, and expository language samples were elicited from 85 typically-developing children ages 8-11. In study one, the conversation language samples were transcribed and analyzed using both the SUGAR and SALT conventions for all children ages 8-10 (n=68).Four paired language performance metrics were calculated including (a) Total Number of Words (TNW) and Number of Total Words (NTW), (b) Mean Length of Utterance SUGAR (MLUs) and Mean Length of Utterance in Morphemes (MLUM), (c) Words Per Sentence (WPS) and Mean Length of Utterance in Words (MLUW), and (d) Clauses Per Sentence (CPS) and Subordination Index (SI). Z-scores were calculated by comparing the computed values to their respective normative databases. Differences in z-scores were examined for each paired metric. Next, to determine if SALT and SUGAR conventions would classify children differently based on language status, these z-score values were compared to thresholds suggestive of typical development versus suggestive of language impairment. In study two, the conversation, narrative, and expository language samples were transcribed and analyzed for mean length of utterance in words (MLUW) and subordination index (SI), a measure of complex language, using SALT conventions.Results: Results for study one revealed statistically significant differences in mean z-score values for all paired language sample analysis metrics. The SUGAR z-scores were significantly lower for the TNW/NTW, MLUs/MLUM, and WPS/MLUM comparisons, but SUGAR z-scores were significantly higher for the CPS/SI comparison. In addition, while no children fell below the thresholds suggestive of language impairment in SUGAR, four children fell below the threshold using the SALT conventions. Study two revealed no age-related changes in MLUW or SI. Sampling contexts did yield significant differences. Narrative and expository language samples elicited longer utterances and more complex language than conversation samples.Conclusions: Comparisons between different normative databases for language sample analyses may yield differing clinical conclusions. Although age-related changes were not detected in any context, the results indicate that narrative and expository contexts may be more appropriate language sampling contexts to examine complex sentence use in school-aged children ages 8-12 years.
