Effects of Length and Linguistic Complexity on Temporal Acoustic Measures in Apraxia of Speech.

Strand, Edythe A.; McNeil, Malcolm R.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v39 n5 p1018-33 Oct 1996

A study was conducted of five individuals exhibiting acquired apraxia of speech to examine vowel durations and length of intervals between words produced in utterances that varied in type of utterance as well as in length. Results found evidence that longer vowel durations were a salient characteristic of apraxia of speech. (CR)
