INTELLIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT IN DYSARTHRIA

描述：构音障碍是几种神经系统疾病的常见结果， 包括帕金森病、中风、小脑病变、多种 硬化症和创伤性脑损伤构音障碍通常会导致 语音清晰度，但他们也影响其他方面的发言 语言，包括语音质量，韵律和语言特征。这些 尚未在大量个体中进行集体研究， 构音障碍这个项目使用了一个多任务协议， 声学措施，以检查可懂度，语音质量，韵律， 儿童和成人获得性构音障碍的语言学方面。几 新开发的分析将用于提供定量数据， 构建语言障碍和神经系统病变的轮廓。包括 将是第一次系统地复制原始工作，导致 构音障碍的当代分类。构音障碍的数据将是 结合语言发育和正常成人语言的数据， 一种基于听觉内部模型的言语产生网络模型 和语音的发音表征。

DESCRIPTION: Dysarthria is a frequent result of several neurological disorders, including Parkinson disease, stroke, cerebellar pathologies, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury. Dysarthrias often lead to decreased speech intelligibility, but they also affect other dimensions of spoken language, including voice quality, prosody, and paralinguistic features. These have not been studied collectively in large numbers of individuals with dysarthria. This project uses a multiple-task protocol with both perceptual and acoustic measures to examine intelligibility, voice quality, prosody, and paralinguistic aspects in children and adults with acquired dysarthria. Several newly developed analyses will be used to provide quantitative data toward the construction of profiles of speech impairment and neurologic lesion. Included will be the first systematic replication of the original work that led to the contemporary classification of the dysarthrias. The data on dysarthria will be integrated with data on speech development and normal adult speech in a neural network model of speech production that is based on internal models of auditory and articulatory representations of speech.
