The purpose of the study was to examine acoustic, aerodynamic, physiologic, and perceptual characteristics modal vocal fry production. Twenty normal speakers (10 males, 10 females) participated in study. Speech material included four sustained vowels (/i/, /a/, /ae/, /u/), syllable strings /pi/ repetitions produced both registers. Acoustic data (fundamental frequency, jitter, shimmer, signal-to-noise ratio), aerodynamic (airflow air pressure), electroglottographic (EGG) were obtained...
Nineteen adults who stutter participated in a 3-week intensive stuttering modification treatment program (the Successful Stuttering Management Program [SSMP]). A series of 14 fluency and affective-based measures were assessed before treatment, immediately after 6 months treatment. Measures included frequency; the Severity Instrument for Children Adults, Third Edition (SSI-3); self-rating severity; Perceptions Inventory (PSI); Locus Control Behavior Scale; Beck Depression Inventory;...
Introduction: Stuttering is a speech disorder in which the flow of disrupted by repetitions, prolongation, and blocks sounds, syllables, or words. No pharmacological treatments are approved for use stuttering, most common form treatment therapy. This study was designed to assess safety, tolerability, effectiveness pagoclone during 8 weeks double-blind followed 1-year open-label extension patients who stutter. Methods: An 8-week, multicenter, parallel-group, 2-arm, randomized (ratio 2:1...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability English-speaking speech-language pathologists (SLPs) stuttering behaviour in two Spanish–English bilingual adults who stutter (AWS1 and AWS2). SLPs were asked judge frequency, severity, type, duration, physical concomitants both languages AWS. combined results from then compared judgements three SLPs. Results indicated that (1) judged frequency be greater Spanish than English for AWS1, equal AWS2, (2) more accurate at evaluating individual...
This study investigated the internalised feelings and discrimination experienced by people who stutter in Jordan.Five adult speakers were interviewed as a focus group. The participants asked about their related to stuttering discrimination. participants' responses group items adapted from extant literature formed basis of 20-item questionnaire. questionnaire was administered 20 additional adults assess perceived rejecting behaviours (discrimination) associated with impairment.Feeling...
Inferences were made regarding vocal tract vowel space during fluently produced utterances through examination of the first two formant frequencies. Fifteen adult males served as subjects, representing separate groups untreated and treated individuals who stutter nonstuttering controls. The steady-state portion one (F1) (F2) was examined in production various CVC tokens containing vowels /i/, /u/, /α/. Vocal estimated three ways. analysis scheme involved measurement frequency spacing. second...
The purpose of this article is to quantify and describe stuttering-like disfluencies in speakers with acquired apraxia speech (AOS), utilizing the Lidcombe Behavioural Data Language (LBDL). Additional purposes include measuring test-retest reliability examining effect sample type on disfluency rates.Two types samples were elicited from 20 persons AOS aphasia: repetition mono- multisyllabic words a protocol for assessing (Duffy, 2013), connected tasks (Nicholas & Brookshire, 1993). Sampling...
Fluency adaptation is characterised by a reduction in stuttering-like behaviours over successive readings of the same speech material and an effect that typically observed developmental stuttering. Prominent theories suggest short-term motor learning associated with practice explain, part, fluency adaptation. The current investigation examined group speakers Parkinson disease (PD) who exhibited disfluencies.Individuals PD (n = 21) neurologically healthy controls 19) read passage five times....
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Many speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are working in linguistically diverse communities and have to identify measure stuttering a language other than their own. The aim of the present study was extend our understanding how well SLPs can languages encourage collaboration between across cultures. <b><i>Methods:</i></b> Speech samples consisted seven preschool-aged children each speaking one following languages:...
Spastic dysarthria is a motor speech disorder produced by bilateral damage to the direct (pyramidal) and indirect (extrapyramidal) activation pathways of central nervous system. This case report describes recovery an individual with severe spastic illustrates close relationship between intelligibility measures acoustic physiological parameters. Detailed phonetic feature analyses combined information helped clarify (a) loci deficit, (b) features deviant whose improvement would lead greatest...
(1) To survey the employed techniques and reasons/occasions which adults who had recovered from stuttering after age 11 without previous treatment reported as causal to overcome stuttering, (2) investigate whether attributions can be reduced coherent (inherently consistent) dimensions, (3) these dimensions reflect common therapy components.124 persons 8 countries responded by SurveyMonkey or paper-and-pencil rating scale questions about 49 possible 15 attributions.A Principal Component...
