“…In a study conducted by Ryan and Burk (1974), imprecise consonants and a slow rate of articulation were found to be two of five speech characteristics that were strong predictors of perceived age. It should be noted, however, that as reported above for age-related physiological changes, conflicting results have also been reported regarding the effects of aging on speech performance (Shanks, 1970;Kruel, 1972).…”

“…One limitation to this study, however, is the use of subjective ratings based on an unvalidated measure of dysarthria. In the present study we endeavored to improve upon prior research by widening the scope of cognitive testing and using an objective measure of oral motor speed known as the Maximum Repetition Rate of Syllables and Multisyllabic Combinations task (MRR; Kent et al, 1987), which has well-established reliability (Kreul, 1972) and validity (Dworkin et al, 1980;Portnoy & Aronson, 1982;Tatsumi et al, 1979;Ziegler & Wessel, 1996).…”

Although most neuropsychological batteries used with multiple sclerosis (MS) patients now exclude tests that require significant motor writing or manual manipulation speed, many of the most sensitive commonly used cognitive tests nonetheless require some type of rapid oral motor response. The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which primary oral motor articulation speed problems of individuals with MS contribute to performance and group differences on neuropsychological tasks requiring a rapid spoken response. Fifty MS patients and 50 healthy controls were administered the PASAT, COWAT, Animal Naming, and SDMT tests, in addition to a measure of rudimentary oral motor speed known as the maximum repetition rate of syllables and multisyllabic combinations (MRR) task. Regression analyses revealed that the amount of variance accounted for by the group (MS-Control) variable was reduced the following amounts for the tasks when the MRR was entered before the group variable: SDMT, 10% to 6%; PASAT, 4% to 2%; COWAT, 5% to 2%; Animal Naming, 11% to 7%. Our data suggest that rudimentary oral motor speed is slowed in MS patients and makes an important contribution to group differences in performance on commonly used neuropsychological tasks requiring a rapid spoken response.

“…. In the literature there are reports on speed reduction, worsen of accuracy and inconsistency of oral diadochokinesia in a large range of neurological disorders and even in some functional disorders 3,8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] . Generally, the ataxias seem to produce a greater impact on the diadochokinesia with an important reduction of the speech rate 16 , despite of some differences pointed out in Parkinson' s disease 15 .…”

-The phonoarticulatory diadochokinesis test has been recommended to evaluate neurological disorders. It is a speech task that consists of the ability to repeat at high speed a segment of speech. The purpose of this research is to analyze the diadochokinesia rate of adults from two distinct age groups. 23 young adults and 23 elderly people, both sexes participated in this study. Each participant produced the /pa/, / ta/, /ka/ syllables, the vowel /a/ and the /pataka/ sequence, as fast and as long as they could with habitual pitch and loudness. The speech samples were analyzed by using the voice and speech analysis software VisiPitch III/Sona-Speech, KayElemetrics. Both groups presented with reduced diadochokinesia rate as the speech production became more complex. The young adults group presented with higher diadochokinesia rate in all speech tasks while the elderly adults group had a worse intensity control.KEy wordS: speech, speech articulation tests, speech production measurement, speech acoustics. diadococinesia fonoarticulatória em jovens e idososResumo -A prova de diadococinesia fonoarticulatória tem sido recomendada para transtornos neurológicos, sendo uma tarefa de fala que consiste na habilidade de realizar rápidas repetições de segmentos de fala. o objetivo deste estudo é analisar a velocidade de diadococinesia em sujeitos adultos em dois grupos etários distintos. Participaram 23 adultos jovens e 23 idosos, de ambos os sexos. Cada indivíduo emitiu as sílabas /pa/, /ta/, /ka/, a vogal /a/ e a seqüência /pataka/, o mais rapidamente e durante o maior tempo possível, em sua freqüência e intensidade habituais. Estas emissões foram analisadas no programa computadorizado de análise de voz e fala Visi-Pitch III/Sona-Speech, da KayElemetrics. Ambos os grupos apresentaram redução da velocidade diadococinética à medida que as emissões foram mais complexas. o grupo mais jovem apresentou velocidade diadococinética maior em todas as emissões enquanto o grupo de idosos teve pior controle de intensidade.PAlAVrAS-ChAVE: fala, testes de articulação da fala, medida de produção da fala,acústica da fala.
