The effects of tape-recorded self-instruction cues on the mathematics performance of students with learning disabilities.

The effects of tape-recorded self-instruction cues on the mathematics performance of students with learning disabilities (LD) were investigated. Nine students were assigned to one of three conditions: an experimental condition, in which students attended two training sessions in self-instruction (SIT); an observer condition, wherein students observed SIT but did not participate; and a control condition, wherein students received neither training nor the opportunity to observe. Using a multiple probe design, data (problems attempted, problems completed correctly, and time for task performance) were collected across two baseline phases, two brief instructional periods, and two generalization phases. Without access to taped cues, experimental and observer students did not successfully utilize the SIT after the first self-instructional training. However, when experimental students were trained to use taped cues, they demonstrated the ability to accurately solve their problems. More important, they were able to successfully use SIT procedures when the taped cues were faded.

Evaluation of a new tape recording of the synthetic sentence identification test.

The purpose of this study was to collect normative data on a commercially available tape recording of the Synthetic Sentence Identification test with ipsilateral competing message. Twenty normal-hearing subjects with no history of central auditory dysfunction were used. Mean percentage of intelligibility scores and standard deviations were obtained at various message-competition ratios. Results were compared to previous research. The data obtained using this recording can now be used as a reference for making clinical judgments.

Tape recorders: a therapeutic tool in long-term care.

Chronically ill adults were able to alter their behavioral patterns through the use of a tape recorder, which allowed them to gain control of their lives despite their disabilities.

Magnetic tape recording and playback for ST-segment analysis.

For the past few years, there has been an increased interest in the detection of ST-segment changes in ambulatory patients. This interest has broadened the scope of application of long-term Holter ambulatory recording to include the routine monitoring of patients for episodes of asymptomatic (silent) ischemia. ST measurements derived from tape-recorded data, however, have been viewed with some skepticism, based on the poor fidelity of earlier Holter recorders and playback systems. The author focuses on the technical issues regarding accurate recording and playback of ST-segment data and demonstrates that a cassette-based recorder and playback system using "direct recording" can accurately reproduce the ST-segment. This discussion is based on the use of the impulse response (rather than frequency response) to characterize and improve the fidelity of the recorder/playback system for ST-segment changes.

Information giving in oncology: a preliminary study of tape-recorder use.

This paper describes a pilot study of information giving in an oncology setting. This was achieved by randomly allocating patients to having their consultation tape-recorded or not. The results suggest that this approach increases the retention of information in patients as well as reducing their levels of anxiety. The method is cheap and easy to use, acceptable to patients and their families, and does not inhibit the consultation process.

Ventricular arrhythmias during exercise testing and 24-hour ECG tape recording in patients with ischaemic heart disease and in normal individuals.

The occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) during resting ECG, maximal bicycle exercise testing and 24-hour ECG tape recording (24-ETR) was studied in 24 patients and 24 matched normal persons. The patients were on treatment with beta-receptor blocking agents or verapamil for ischaemic heart disease (IHD), verified by coronary angiography. The matched persons showed no signs of heart disease. VA did not occur in any of those studied on a 60-second resting ECG. During exercise testing, one patient and six normal subjects had VA. During 24-ETR, VA were found in 16 patients and 11 normal persons. The maximum heart rate during exercise and the average heart rate during ETR did not differ significantly between individuals with and without VA in the groups of patients and normal subjects, respectively. It is concluded that in IHD patients receiving beta-blocking agents or verapamil, 24-ETR is a more reliable indicator of VA than exercise ECG testing. In normal individuals the two methods are of similar value.

Identification of children with and without cleft palate from tape-recorded samples of early vocalizations and speech.

Thirty judges (5 speech pathologists, 10 mothers of children with cleft palate, and 15 mothers of noncleft children) listened to 90 tape-recorded samples of early vocalizations/speech obtained from noncleft babies and babies with cleft palate. Each sample was classified by the judges as normal or abnormal. As a group, the speech pathologists classified only 60% of the cleft samples as abnormal and 59% of the normal samples as normal. The cleft and noncleft mother groups, on the other hand, classified 37% and 25% of the cleft samples as abnormal and 59% and 73% of the normal samples as normal. Poor interjudge agreement was evident within and across the three groups of judges. The poor reliability demonstrated by the speech pathologists in identifying babies with unrepaired clefts appeared related more to a difference in interpretation of the perceptual data than an inability to hear salient information.

Tape-recorded EEG and the cerebral function monitor: amplitude-integrated, time-compressed EEG.

Monitoring of spontaneous brain electrical activity (EEG) has three purposes: Detecting sudden loss of background activity as an early sign of brain hypoxia/ischaemia, detection of silent seizures, and helping to diagnose brain damage. Tape-recording allows storage of upto 8 channels of standard EEG for prolonged periods, but some direct readout is necessary for monitoring purposes and review is time consuming. The Cerebral Function Monitoring technique (CFM) provides a 1/500 time-compressed recording of EEG amplitude overall EEG background activity as well as seizures. Lack of knowledge of when and how to intervene, rather than technical problems, puts a limit to the usefulness.

A study of the use of tape-recorded handovers.

The handover of information between shifts is often a time-consuming activity. It can involve all available staff from both shifts being absent from the ward for a substantial period of time. At a time when cost-effectiveness is an issue, many managers are looking at the value for money that the handover period provides. This paper describes an attempt by Trinity Hospic in Clapham actively to examine the cost in time and money that handover incurred, together with an examination of the quality of staff-to-staff reporting using tape-recorded handovers.

Giving tape recordings or written summaries of consultations to people with cancer: a systematic review.

OBJECTIVE: To examine the effects of providing recordings or summaries of consultations to people with cancer and their families. DESIGN: Systematic review. DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, CINAHL, Cancerlit, EMBASE and other electronic bibliographic databases. Bibliographies of relevant papers. SELECTION CRITERIA: Randomized and non-randomized controlled trials of the provision of taped recordings or written summaries of consultations to people with cancer and/or their families. MAIN RESULTS: Eight randomized controlled trials were found, all involving adult participants. No non-randomized controlled trials were found. The quality of the studies was generally poor. Between 83% and 96% of people who received recordings or summaries found them useful to remind them of what was said and/or to inform family members and friends about their illness and treatment. Of seven studies that assessed recall of information given during the consultation, four reported better recall among the groups that received recordings or summaries than among control groups. Receiving a recording or summary had no significant effect on anxiety or depression between the groups. None of the included studies assessed survival or health outcomes other than psychological outcomes. CONCLUSIONS: Wider use of consultation tapes and summary letters could benefit many adults with cancer, without causing additional anxiety or depression, but consideration should be given to individuals' circumstances and preferences.
