“…Our findings suggest that confounding may occur between primary prosodic variables of interest (e.g., intelligibility, speech rate) and voice age characteristics in longitudinal or cross-sectional developmental research designs, an issue that has seldom considered in developmental studies of prosody. Many prosodic characteristics have been investigated in child speech, including phrasal boundary emergence and placement (Crystal, 1986), timing (Snow, 1997), disfluency (Gordon & Luper, 1989; Wexler & Mysak, 1982), speaking rate (Kelly & Conture, 1992) and phrase-level intonation (Chen, 2011; MacWhinney & Bates, 1978). In much of this work, children’s prosodic behavior has been compared to that of adults or of children of other ages.…”

Purpose As children mature, changes in voice spectral characteristics covary with changes in speech, language, and behavior. Spectral characteristics were manipulated to alter the perceived ages of talkers’ voices while leaving critical acoustic-prosodic correlates intact, to determine whether perceived age differences were associated with differences in judgments of prosodic, segmental, and talker attributes. Method Speech was modified by lowering formants and fundamental frequency, for 5-year-old children’s utterances, or raising them, for adult caregivers’ utterances. Next, participants differing in awareness of the manipulation (Exp. 1a) or amount of speech-language training (Exp. 1b) made judgments of prosodic, segmental, and talker attributes. Exp. 2 investigated the effects of spectral modification on intelligibility. Finally, in Exp. 3 trained analysts used formal prosody coding to assess prosodic characteristics of spectrally-modified and unmodified speech. Results Differences in perceived age were associated with differences in ratings of speech rate, fluency, intelligibility, likeability, anxiety, cognitive impairment, and speech-language disorder/delay; effects of training and awareness of the manipulation on ratings were limited. There were no significant effects of the manipulation on intelligibility or formally coded prosody judgments. Conclusions Age-related voice characteristics can greatly affect judgments of speech and talker characteristics, raising cautionary notes for developmental research and clinical work.

“…There is a rather large body of evidence that CWS as well as their typically fluent peers produce more disfluencies on longer/syntactically complex utterances than on shorter/simpler utterances (e.g., see Bernstein Ratner & Sih, 1987;Gaines, Runyan, & Meyers, 1991;Logan & Conture, 1997;Logan & LaSalle, 1999;Weiss & Zebrowski, 1992, for work on CWS; Gordon & Luper, 1989;Haynes & Hood, 1978;McLaughlin & Cullinan, 1989;Yaruss, Newman, & Flora, 1999, for work on typically fluent children).…”

“…Bu dönemde yaşanan akıcısızlıklar tipik (normal) akıcısızlık olarak adlandırılmaktadır (Culatta & Leeper, 1989). Kekemeliği olmayan ve akıcı bir konuşmaya sahip olan bireyler de günlük konuşmalarında takılmalar yaşayabilmektedir (Culatta & Leeper, 1989;Gordon & Luper, 1989). Konuşma sırasında akıcısızlıkların yaşanması olasıdır ancak akıcısızlık miktarının çok olması durumunda kekemelik gibi kimi akıcısızlık bozukluklarından bahsedilmektedir (Akgün, 2005).…”
