A

can improve articulation, give articulators more time to reach target positions, give listener more processing time

50
Q

treatment of hypokientic dysarthria for DAF

A

speech is amplified, delayed, then “fed back” to the speaker’s ears, speech prolongs syllable until the delayed signal is perceived, then begins next syllable, and slow, fluent speech with prolonged vowels, connected syllables

51
Q

DAF and normal speakers

A

delay indicated that speech sound has not completed, repetition or prolongations of syllables, “artificial stuttering” (lee 1951), responses vary with attention paid to delayed signal and helps to explain variability in responding

52
Q

frequency - altered feedback (FAF)

A

shifts pitch up or down, might increase activity in left auditory cortex, alter pitch change VF tension, increase/decrease VF tension

Q

increase VF tension is better for
