“…The impairment demonstrated under DAF includes decreased speech rate, increased loudness, and dysfluencies of various kinds, including syllable repetitions and vowel prolongations. Other tasks are also impaired under DAF, including music performance (Finney, 1997;Havlicek, 1968), Morse code production (Howell, Powell, & Khan, 1983;Lee, 1951;Yates, 1965), clapping (Kalmus, Denes, & Fry, 1955), and rhythmic finger tapping (Chase, Harvey, Standfast, Rapin, & Sutton, 1961;Finney, 1999;Karlovich & Graham, 1966;Lee, 1950;Ruhm & Cooper, 1962). The reported impairment in these other domains is qualitatively similar to that of speech, including a slowing of rate and errors of insertion or repetition; many researchers of DAF (e.g., Chase, Harvey, et al, 1961;Howell et al, 1983;Lee, 1950;MacKay, 1987) have addressed their proposals to both speech and other forms of behavior, such as tapping.…”
