Interactions between speech and finger movements: an exploration on the dynamic pattern perspective.

A Smith, D H McFarland, C M Weber

    Journal of Speech and Hearing Research
    |December 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Movement emerges from interacting oscillators, not central commands. This study found interactions between speech and finger tapping, but they were less simple than predicted by dynamic pattern theory.

    Area of Science:

    • Motor control
    • Dynamical systems theory
    • Human movement science

    Background:

    • Traditional motor control assumes central movement representations.
    • The dynamic perspective views movement as emergent from oscillator interactions.
    • This perspective predicts cross-task parameter coupling.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate interactions between simultaneous speech and manual tasks.
    • To test predictions of the dynamic pattern perspective on motor coordination.
    • To analyze frequency and amplitude coupling during dual-task performance.

    Main Methods:

    • Quantitative analysis of speech and finger tapping tasks.
    • Measurement of amplitude and frequency parameters.
    • Comparison of observed interactions with dynamic pattern predictions.

    Main Results:

    • Interactions between speaking and finger tapping were observed.
    • These interactions occurred in both amplitude and frequency domains.
    • The observed interactions were more complex than initially predicted.

    Conclusions:

    • Movement coordination arises from coupled oscillatory processes.
    • Interactions between speech and manual tasks support the dynamic perspective.
    • The complexity of these interactions suggests refinements to current dynamic models.
