The current study investigated whether variation in children's default articulation rate might reflect individual differences in the development of articulatory timing control, which predicts a positive correlation between rate and perceived clarity (motor skills hypothesis), or whether such variation is better attributed to speech external factors, which predicts that faster rates result in po...

INTRODUCTION Articulation is the result of speech organs and it means clean, clear and distinct pronunciation of voices in words. MATERIAL AND METHODS A prospective study included 24 children between 5 and 15 years of age, of both sexes. All children were monolingual, Serbian being their native language. The quality of articulation was tested with Triage articulation test. RESULTS Neither o...

UNLABELLED The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between articulation rate, frequency and duration of disfluencies of different types, and temperament in preschool children who stutter (CWS). In spontaneous speech samples from 19 CWS (mean age=3:9; years:months), we measured articulation rate, the frequency and duration of (a) sound prolongations; (b) sound-syllable repetiti...

objectives: the percentage of vowel correct (pvc) is one of the indices in the development of articulation and phonological skills in children that can be measured with speech samples that could be extracted from the single word or connected speech tests. the aim of this study is to introduce the pvc scale in persian speaking children and investigate its validity and reliability. methods: this ...

This paper compares the articulation rate of 4 varieties of French: Parisian French (PA); Swiss French spoken in Neuchâtel (NE) and French spoken by Swiss German speakers (BE and ZH) who have been living in a French-speaking environment (in Neuchâtel) for 20 years at least. The objective is twofold: to assess the differences in articulation rate between native French speakers of a standard vari...

[Purpose] This study was designed to identify factors influencing handwriting articulation based on the international classification of functioning, disability and health (ICF) and to recommend effective evaluation and intervention strategies to improve the handwriting of children with cerebral palsy. [Subjects] The subjects were 96 elementary school children with cerebral palsy and the study w...

EMA, aerodynamic, and acoustic signals were combined in order to observe lingual and labial articulation of oral and nasal vowels in Northern Metropolitan French (NMF) and Quebec French (QF). Inter-speaker variation observed in oral articulation suggests the importance of motor equivalence in the acoustic dispersion of each vowel system. Inter-dialectal differences observed are suggestive of im...

A TWO -PHASE PROJECT CONCERNED WITH THE EFFECTIVENESS OF SPEECH THERAPY WITH EDUCABLE MENTALLY RETARDED (EMR) CHILDREN IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL SETTING HAD TWO OBJECTIVES -TO ASSEMBLE A REASONABLY COMPLETE PICTURE OF ARTICULATION OF EDUCABLE MENTALLY RETARDED CHILDREN AND TO DETERMINE. THE VALUE OF SPEECH THERAPY TO EMR CHILDREN WITH ARTICULATION DEFICIENCIES. THE HEJNA ARTICULATION TESTS AND A SPEEC...

Of the numerous variables which have been theoretically related tofunctional articulation disorders, speech sound discrimination (SSD) has received the most research and clinical attention. However, the majority of these investigations were done with children below age 7 while articulation therapy is generally consideredfor school-aged children. The present study investigated the possibility th...
