Velocidade de fala em crianças com e sem transtorno fonológico

Abstract

Lower values of speech rate are observed for children with PD, participants of this study, due to possible language or motor deficits, although there is evidence of speech rate control due to the length of the sentence. All of the measurements indicated this difference, specially for the standard imitation test.

Oral and Hand Movement Speeds are Associated with Expressive Language Ability in Children with Speech Sound Disorder

“…In a longitudinal study of 16 typically developing preschoolers, nonlinear trajectories of articulation rate and variability were observed, and results were interpreted to indicate the influence of factors outside of neuromotor maturation, including an increased load of phonological and syntactic processing at age 5 (Walker and Archibald 2006). In 20 4- to 10-year-old children with SSD and 20 controls, articulation rates as measured in total duration time, syllables per second and phonemes per second, were slower in the participants with SSD, compared to the controls (Wertzner and Silva 2009). In a longitudinal study of articulation rates and phonetic phrase length in preschoolers with SSD, Flipsen Jr. (2002) showed that the participants with SSD produced fewer syllables per second than peers but appeared to catch up by age 9 years; this finding, however, was interpreted in light of the fact that as preschoolers, the participants produced more articulation errors than their peers with TD.…”

“…Another study using speech rate measurement in Brazilian Portuguese speaking children also indicated that those with phonological disorders presented decreased speech rate when compared to children without speech disorders (14).…”

A relevância da medida de sílabas por minuto na avaliação da velocidade de leitura

“…A study (24) applied such measure in the Brazilian Portuguese with the intention of verifying speech fluency and suggested a standardization that started to be used in several other studies (16,(25)(26)(27) . Later, such measure was also researched to complement the diagnostic of children with phonologic disorder (18) as well as to verify speech speed standards at the different speech language therapy alterations (17,26,27) . The results of the mentioned studies demonstrated that the SRPM measure was effective to identify differences and characteristics in different populations.…”

“…In studies that evaluate the speaking speed (16)(17)(18) , it is common the use of the syllables per minute (SRPM) measure, because it neutralizes the effect of the extension of the words. This way, the use of SRPM measure at the assessment of reading rate can offer more reliable results on isolating linguistic-textual facts.…”
