Acoustic-Phonetic Contrasts and Intelligibility in the Dysarthria Associated with Mixed Cerebral Palsy.

Ansel, Beth M.; Kent, Raymond D.

Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v35 n2 p296-308 Apr 1992

This study used a contrasting word task to evaluate the relationship between specific acoustic features of speech and perceptual judgments of word intelligibility of 16 adults with cerebral palsy-dysarthria. The scaled intelligibility was predicted with 62.6 percent accuracy by acoustic measures related to one consonant contrast and three vowel contrasts. (Author/JDD)
