Feedback and feedforward control in apraxia of speech: Noise masking effects on fricative
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The present study tested two hypotheses about apraxia of speech (AOS), framed in the DIVA model (Guenther, Ghosh, & Tourville, 2006). The DIVA model assumes that speech targets are regions in auditory space, and combines two mechanisms to reach those targets: feedback control and feedforward control. The Feedforward System Deficit (FF) hypothesis states that feedforward control is impaired in AOS, with consequently a greater reliance on feedback control (Jacks, 2008; Maas, Mailend, & Guenther, 2013). The Feedback System Deficit (FB) hypothesis states that feedback control is impaired in AOS; for example, self-generated auditory feedback may be disruptive (cf. Ballard & Robin, 2007).

Apraxia of speech (AOS): Effects of noise masking on vowel production in the DIVA model
Apraxia of Speech (AOS) is a motor speech disorder whose precise nature is still poorly understood. A recent behavioural experiment featuring a noise masking paradigm suggests that AOS reflects a disruption of feedforward control, whereas feedback control is spared and plays a more prominent role in achieving and maintaining segmental contrasts [10]. In the present study, we set out to validate...
متن کاملReliance on auditory feedback in children with childhood apraxia of speech.
UNLABELLED Children with childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) have been hypothesized to continuously monitor their speech through auditory feedback to minimize speech errors. We used an auditory masking paradigm to determine the effect of attenuating auditory feedback on speech in 30 children: 9 with CAS, 10 with speech delay, and 11 with typical development. The masking only affected the speech o...
متن کاملOverreliance on auditory feedback may lead to sound/syllable repetitions: simulations of stuttering and fluency-inducing conditions with a neural model of speech production.
UNLABELLED This paper investigates the hypothesis that stuttering may result in part from impaired readout of feedforward control of speech, which forces persons who stutter (PWS) to produce speech with a motor strategy that is weighted too much toward auditory feedback control. Over-reliance on feedback control leads to production errors which if they grow large enough, can cause the motor sys...
متن کاملComputational Modeling of the Neural Substrates of Stuttering and Induced Fluency
Stuttering is a speech motor control disorder of unknown etiology whose hallmark is part-syllable repetition. The principal aim of this dissertation is to understand the neural mechanisms underlying stuttering through computational modeling with DIVA and GODIVA, neural network models of speech acquisition and production. The first part of the dissertation investigates the hypothesis that stutte...
متن کاملSeverity and Co-occurrence of Oral and Verbal Apraxias in Left Brain Damaged Adults
Objective: Oral and verbal apraxias represent motor programming deficits of nonverbal and verbal movements respectively. Studying their properties may shed light on speech motor control processes. This study was focused on identifying cases with oral or verbal apraxia, their co–occurrences and severities. Materials & Methods: In this non-experimental study, 55 left adult subjects with left b...
