Purpose We advanced a multifactorial, dynamic account of the complex, nonlinear
interactions of motor, linguistic, and emotional factors contributing to the development of …

1 Introduction the purpose of this chapter is to provide an integrative overview of studies of
the development of the neuromotor processes involved in controlling articulatory movements …

Purpose The current research sought to determine (a) if speech inconsistency is a core
feature of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) or if it is driven by comorbid language …

The potential role of phonological complexity in destabilizing the speech motor systems of
adults who stutter was explored by assessing the performance of 17 adults who stutter and …

Stuttering is a disorder of speech production that typically arises in the preschool years, and
many accounts of its onset and development implicate language and motor processes as …

There are still crucial gaps in our knowledge about developmental paths taken by children to
adult-like speech motor control. Mature control of articulators during speaking is manifested …

Purpose This study sought to determine if (a) children with childhood apraxia of speech
(CAS), other speech sound disorders (SSDs), and typical development (TD) would perform …

Purpose To review the principles of neural plasticity and make recommendations for
research on the neural bases for rehabilitation of neurogenic speech disorders. Method A …

Purpose To examine how language production interacts with speech motor and gross and
fine motor skill in children with specific language impairment (SLI). Method Eleven children …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine if indices of speech motor coordination
during the production of sentences varying in sentence length and syntactic complexity were …
