ISBN: 9781904424406 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Most people who stutter are consistently fluent in certain contexts such as speaking to their pet or to a person they are comfortable with. Now, this remarkable publication offers a completely new approach to treating this debilitating condition.

Because blocking and stuttering are learned behaviors, they can be unlearned.

The Symbiotic Relationship between Pitch Discrimination Skills and Emotional Speech
ISBN: 9783836427128 / Angielski / Miękka / 72 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

The relationship between the pitch discrimination skills used in music training and speech prosody has largely been unexamined. This book examines the hypothesis that differences would be found in the pretest and posttest prosody skills of a treatment group which received pitch...
