Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder

319
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by persistent inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It affects approximately 5-8% of children globally, with around 60-70% of cases persisting into adulthood. ADHD has significant implications for educational attainment, social interactions, and occupational success.
Diagnostic Criteria and Symptoms
To diagnose ADHD, symptoms must manifest before age 12 and be evident across multiple settings....

Summary

Diverting attention during speech production improved fluency in children, including those who stutter. This suggests that increased automaticity of speech sequences enhances fluency.

Area of Science:

  • Speech-language pathology
  • Motor control
  • Developmental psychology

Background:

  • Motor theories suggest well-practiced movements are best performed automatically.
  • Automaticity in speech production is crucial for fluency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of dual-task conditions on speech fluency, rate, and language productivity in school-age children.
  • To examine how sustained attention affects speech in children with and without stuttering disorders.

Main Methods:

  • 47 children (7-12 years) participated, including 19 who stutter and 28 who do not.
  • Speech was recorded under baseline and dual-task conditions requiring sustained attention.
  • Measures included speech fluency, speech rate, and language productivity.

Main Results:

  • Dual-task conditions reduced stutter-like disfluencies compared to baseline.
  • This fluency enhancement was observed in both groups of children.
  • Improvements were not linked to decreased language productivity or order effects.

Conclusions:

  • Diverting attention during speech production may enhance fluency by increasing motor speech sequence automaticity.
  • Further research is needed to explore underlying neurophysiological mechanisms.
  • Findings suggest potential clinical applications for attention-based interventions in stuttering treatment.
