[Communicative disorders and voluntary regulation of activity in children with schizophrenia].

Experimental psychological investigation of the peculiarities of voluntary regulation of activity was performed in 106 schizophrenic children and adolescents compared to a group of age-matched (7 to 16 years) healthy persons. Voluntary regulation of activity was studied in its relation to the communicative disorders characteristic of schizophrenic patients. The investigation was designed with due consideration of the subjects interaction and communication with the partner-experimenter. Different degrees of communication in mutual activity involved a variety of disorders in voluntary regulation of activity which had different strength and importance for the child's development.

BOEL screening: a program for the early detection of communicative disorders. Preliminary reports from a study on 1,000 Finnish infants.

Programs for infant screening of communicative disorders should cover the need for information about the development of attention functions--auditory, visual and tactile at an age when the child is on the doorstep of speech acquisition, i.e. before 1 year of age. BOEL is a new screening test, constructed to cheek the capacity of giving priority to signals for hearing, sight and motor attention in infants around 8 months of age. The child's innate program to follow an interesting signal, grasp it and investigate it with his mouth, turn his head after it, and smile responsively is tested with the help of two visual stimuli and four sound sources, ranging between 4 000 and 12 500 Hz. BOEL is meant to be used within the routine health check-ups of, for example, well-baby clinics.

Communication disorders: investigator training and support needs.

There are very few "simple problems" left in the area of communication disorders, but that does not mean that there are unsolvable problems. However, in pursuit of these, present day research often requires extensive technical procedures which require teams of investigators trained in different areas. Among these should be the otolaryngologist, but, in this country, there are few involved and there is a paucity of disease-oriented research. In the 1950s and 1960s the NIH training grant provided funds for bringing doctor of philosophy researchers into clinical departments to set up laboratories and work intimately with the medical doctor. Basic research training is still essential during residency and the number of postresidency fellowships ought to be increased. The familiarity with clinical problems introduced into the research effort should improve the possibility for the conduction of disease-oriented research in addition to the present day emphasis on basic research.

The Carolina Children's Communicative Disorders Program. An opportunity for North Carolina's children.

The CCCDP provides devices and services to underprivileged children with communication disorders. Since its organization, the program has helped 197 children, including 21 given cochlear implants, and has disbursed 258 hearing aids or devices. It is cost-efficient program that has potential to help many of our state's needful children. We solicit referrals from all NC physicians, audiologists, speech pathologists, educators, and other professionals. Applications and financial forms will be furnished on request.

Research in the auditory and vestibular systems. The recommendations of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders National Strategic Research Plan.

Promising fundamental research opportunities identified by the National Strategic Research Plan of the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders include encoding of sound and gravitational/acceleration force by the inner ear, processing complex signals in the central nervous system, the molecular and cellular mechanisms responsible for hair cell motility, mechanoelectric transduction, homeostasis and metabolism of the inner ear, synaptic transmission, hair cell regeneration, plasticity and otoacoustic emissions. Clinical research opportunities include the molecular genetics of hereditary hearing impairment, the etiology of sensorineural hearing loss, environmental ototoxicity, the elucidation of tinnitus, the development of vaccines against otitis media, pharmacotherapy, rehabilitation for hearing loss and deafness with hearing aids and cochlear implants and physical therapy rehabilitation for vestibular disorders.
