Maximum repetition rate in a large cross-sectional sample of typically developing Dutch-speaking children

Purpose: The current study aims to provide normative data for the maximum repetition rate (MRR) development of Dutch-speaking children based on a large cross-sectional using standardised protocol.Method: A group 1014 typically developing aged 3;0 6;11 years performed MRR task Computer Articulation Instrument (CAI). number syllables per second was calculated mono-, bi-, and trisyllabic sequences (MRR-pa, MRR-ta, MRR-ka, MRR-pata, MRR-taka, MRR-pataka). two-way mixed ANOVA conducted compare effects age gender scores in different sequences.Result: analysis showed that overall were affected by group, sequence. For all increased significantly with age. MRR-pa fastest sequence, followed respectively MRR-ka MRR-pataka. Overall higher boys than girls, sequences.Conclusion: This presents years. These norms might be useful clinical practice differentiate speech sound disorders from children. More research this topic is necessary. It also suggested collect other individual languages, same protocol.
