Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This investigation attempted to develop a test for assessing intelligibility of native Spanish-speakers with dysarthria. Twenty-five native Spanish-speakers participated in this study. Eleven were diagnosed with Parkinson2s disease and 14 subjects free of neurological disease served as a comparison group. Subjects read a list of Spanish minimal pair phonetic contrasts randomly presented. These phonetic contrasts were prepared by the investigator and have been considered to be sensitive to dysarthric impairment and contribute to speech intelligibility in English speakers with dysarthria. Responses were digitally recorded. A group of 25 native English speaking graduate students in speech-language pathology and 6 native Spanish speaking professionals served as judges in a perceptual task of intelligibility. Judges listened to the digitally recorded speech samples from the Parkinson2s and comparison groups. English speaking listeners recorded responses by transcribing phonetically what they heard. Spanish speaking listeners wrote their responses orthographically. Scores of intelligibility were awarded to each speaker based on the number of correct responses by each listener. The subjects with PD were found to be less intelligible than the comparison group by both the English and Spanish speaking judges. Acoustic analysis of VOT, vowel space, and F2 transitions for each speaker were examined. Significant differences were found between groups for VOT and vowel space. A trend was also exhibited between groups for F2 transitions although this was not found significant at the .05 level. Regression analysis revealed that VOT was a strong predictor of intelligibility, accounting for 57% of the variance.
Book Synopsis Intelligibility in Speech Disorders by : Raymond D. Kent
Download or read book Intelligibility in Speech Disorders written by Raymond D. Kent and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 1992-04-16 with total page 373 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume, written by authors experienced in intelligibility issues in speech pathology and related fields, describe the basic dimensions by which speech intelligibility can and must be understood. The dimensions are auditory perceptual, linguistic, acoustic and physiologic. These, in turn, are applied to the fundamental problems of definition and theory, measurement and clinical management. Only relatively recently has there been significant progress in formal intelligibility assessment and few, if any books have been published on intelligibility concerns in speech pathology. It is hoped that this book represents the topic of intelligibility in a way that will encourage further invention in research and clinical efforts relating to this essential aspect of speech and language performance.

Book Synopsis Disorders of Articulation by : Margaret Edwards
Download or read book Disorders of Articulation written by Margaret Edwards and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The title of this book may at first appear to be somewhat restrictive in its use of terminology. However, this is far from the intention of the writer; on the contrary, the following chapters seek to reflect a departure from the traditional segmentally orientated approach to this type of disability. Indeed one reason why the book has been written is the sense of frustration arising out of the largely ineffectual static and structural methodology of remedial work. Alternative titles could have been Disorders of Speech Production, or Neurogenic Speech Disorders, but neither would have encapsulated the essence of the book. Much of the recent research in the neurophysiology of motor control and also in the field of neurolinguistics has been concerned with ways in which intention and planning of movement is effected. Such models are still in their infancy, but it seems the potential value of their application to speech is considerable. In the case of verbal dysp'taxia, for example, we have long since in rather vague terms described it as a disorder of organization and programming without ever stating exactly what may be disorganized or not properly planned. This book does not provide the answer for as yet there is insufficient data on which to work so that formulated theories may be tested and further defined. But as we move from speculative guess-work towards established fact so the likelihood grows of providing more positive help for those who suffer these drastic limitations in communication.

Book Synopsis Improving Speech Intelligibility in Adults by : Connie K. Porcaro
Download or read book Improving Speech Intelligibility in Adults written by Connie K. Porcaro and published by Plural Publishing. This book was released on 2022-09-23 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Being intelligible to a listener means getting your message across and improving speech intelligibility is one of the most common goals for clients working with a speech-language pathologist (SLP). Improving Speech Intelligibility in Adults: Clinical Application of Evidence-Based Strategies is a professional resource for practicing SLPs working with adults with communication disorders, such as dysarthria, acquired apraxia of speech, and voice disorders. This book incorporates current research findings to support the use of evidence-based strategies in clinical situations. While other books may focus on “drilling” and “practicing” a list of words, sentences, and topics to use with a client to change their behaviors, Improving Speech Intelligibility in Adults uniquely focuses on the speaker and the listener in tandem. The author takes a noteworthy approach in how the listener can change behaviors to assist with understanding. The text presents a comprehensive approach to improving speech intelligibility by including ways to enhance the communication environment during in-person or teletherapy exchanges to enhance understanding between speaker and listener.
