Courses

• SAR SH 755: Speech Science
  The purpose of this course is to introduce students to those aspects of basic science that bear on clinical issues in speech-language pathology, to help prepare students to understand and take advantage of future scientific and technological advances in the field, and to help students develop the knowledge base and critical skills necessary to become an informed consumer of both basic and applied research in communication disorders. Classes are structured to include presentation of new material, followed by discussion of a recent research article. This format fulfills three purposes. First, it will allow students to present, interpret, and critique recent samples of primary literature in normal and disordered subjects. Second, research articles elaborate on the material presented during lecture. Third, articles relate basic knowledge of speech science to disorders they are likely to encounter as speech-language pathologists. Students will also gain hands-on experience with acoustic and spectrographic analysis of speech.
• SAR SH 756: Cognition and Neural Bases
  The purpose of this course is to provide students with a thorough understanding of the brain and its neuroanatomy; students will also learn about common models of language processing and the latest advances in neuroimaging studies on language processing in the brain. When students have completed this course, they should be able to (a) be able to identify various structures in the brain and their significance, (b) relate specific communicative disorders to their etiology in the brain, (c) relate models of language processing with specific regions in the brain, and (d) critically evaluate existing neuroimaging studies based on models of language processing and neuroanatomy.
