Immediate compensation in bite-block speech

C A Fowler, M T Turvey

    Phonetica
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    A bite block did not affect the latency or quality of spoken vowels in this experiment. Acoustic measures and response times remained consistent, with minimal impact from practice or time pressure.

    Area of Science:

    • Speech Production
    • Phonetics
    • Experimental Linguistics

    Background:

    • Understanding factors influencing speech production is crucial for various fields, including linguistics and speech-language pathology.
    • Bite blocks are sometimes used in speech research, but their specific effects on vowel production parameters are not fully understood.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of a bite block on the latency and acoustic quality of spoken vowels.
    • To determine if practice or time pressure influences these parameters when using a bite block.

    Main Methods:

    • Participants produced vowels under two conditions: with a bite block and without (normal).
    • Vowel latency (time from visual cue to vocalization) and acoustic quality (measured by acoustic analysis) were recorded.

  • The effects of practice and time pressure were also assessed.

    • Main Results:

    • Vowel latency did not differ significantly between the bite block and normal conditions.
    • Acoustic measures indicated no substantial difference in vowel quality between the two conditions.
    • Minimal effects of practice or time pressure were observed on latency or quality.

    Conclusions:

    • The use of a bite block does not appear to alter the latency or acoustic quality of spoken vowels.
    • Findings suggest that bite blocks can be employed in speech research without significantly compromising these specific production measures.
    • The study contributes to understanding the constraints and variability in vowel production models.
