JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe relationship between speech disfluency and language acquisition was examined longitudinally in a child who temporarily showed high frequency of disfluency. The major findings were as follows:
1) The case was a 30 month-old girl. Her speech disfluency had been considered as stuttering by her family. According to her parents, she began to stutter when she was just to years old. She had no problems in her case history nor emotional problems in the mother-child relationship.
2) Her speech disfluency was characterized by highly frequent instances of sound or syllable repetitions, prolongations and forced preparatory voicings.
3) She showed a high level of language development. For example, when she was 30 months old her vocabulary age was 56 months according to the Picture Vocabulary Test.
4) The period when she showed high frequency of disfluency (until age 37 months) corresponded with the period when she began to use longer and more complicated sentences. Furthermore, the period when her disfluency began to improve (after age 37 months) was consistent with the period when she used those sentences constantly.View full abstractDownload PDF (905K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThis study was designed to investigate whether aphasics use the case strategy in the NP (Noun Phrase) +V (Verb) sentence comprehension task. The subjects were 27 aphasics. The stimulus sentences were NP+NP+V active and passive sentences that had the basic and also the reverse word order, and NP+V active and passive sentences that had only an agent or an object. The subjects listened to the NP+NP+V sentences and the NP+V sentences and were required to point to the correct pictures.
The major findings were as follows:
1) All aphasic subjects except one did not use the case strategy.
2) Most subjects who could not use the word order strategy in NP+NP+V sentences could understand one kind of NP+V sentence (active voice: four out of fives ubjects; passive voice: eleven out of fifteen subjects) .
3) Most subjects who could not use the particle strategy in NP+NP+V sentences could understand two kinds of NP+V sentence (active voice: three out of five subjects; passive voice: five out of six subjects) .
These results suggested that it was necessary to divide the particle strategy into two levels of difficulty, the NP+NP+V sentence level and the NP+V sentence level.View full abstractDownload PDF (745K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is generally recognized that early successful palatal repairs result in increase of the number of cleft palate (CP) children who develop normal articulation without any training intervention. However, several studies indicated that, even in CP children repaired successfully in early times, 40 to 50% showed abnormal articulation which was different from so-called cleft palate speech. The aim of this study was to compare the postsurgical articulation found in CP children who acquired velopharyngeal closure (VPC) at age one (Group A) with that in CP patients who acquired VPC at later than age 10 (Group B) . The subjects were 187 postsurgical CP patients whose VPC was evaluated competent: 134 for Group A and 53 for Group B. Percentage of abnormal articulation in Group A (45%) was significantly smaller than that in Group B (79%, p<05) . Concerning the error types, palatalized articulation in Group A (73%) and glottal stops in Group B (90%) overwhelmed other error types in each group. The results suggested that research on the cause of palatalized articulation from morphological and functional points of view was necessary in order to decrease the incidence of abnormal articulation in early and successfully repaired CP children.View full abstractDownload PDF (639K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSWe report the assessment of velopharyngeal closure (VPC) in children with cleft palates. VPC was evaluated by the following four methods: assessment of vocal resonance of vowel production and conversation, articulation of a plosive consonant /p/, hard blowing and soft blowing. In addition, laterall view radiography and nasopharyngeal fiberscopy were used on patients with velopharyngeal incompetence. The age of palatoplasty in our 120 cleft palate patients was 12 months in 58 cases, 13 months in 40 cases and 14 months in 22 cases. The operation method was palatal pushback.
The results were as follows:
1) VPC was good in 107 cases (89.1%), fair in 10 (8.3%), poor in 3 (2.6%) .
2) Nearly all of the patients could be evaluated by our four methods at 3-and-a-half years old.
3) Lateral view radiography could be carried out for cases older than 3 years and nasopharyngeal fiberscopy for those older than 6 years.
4) VPC was diagnosed in about 68% of the patients under 4 years old, but 17% of the patients were not diagnosed until 5 years.
5) Delayed diagnosis of VPC related significantly to the severity of VPC, palatal fistulae and articulation disorders.
6) Some patients who had good VPC showed mild hypernasality and a mild degree of nasal escape in the blowing test until 3-and-a-half years old.View full abstractDownload PDF (5196K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA cerebral palsied child (athetoid quadriplegia, 9Y9M) with respiration and vocalization problems had been applied the techniques of psychological rehabilitation ('83.6.-'84.4.) and Bobath approach ('84.5.-'85.12.) to improve her problems.
Results were as follows:
1) Using the psychological rehabilitation techniques made it possible to prolong her [a: ] phonation time from 0.12 sec. to 0.61 sec. and her respiration patterns to be better. Severly fructuated extension patterns appeared in her speech posture, although tonic and total extension patterns were improved in her speech posture. As her [a: ] phonation time became longer, these extension patterns were more remarkable.
2) By the Bobath approach techniques, her [a: ] phonation time was more prolonged from 0.61 sec. to 2.70 sec., and her respiration patterns were more improved. In her speech posture, the extension patterns were decreased and modified to fructuated patterns that moved alternately from right to left on the midline.
By both techniques, her respiration and vocalization were improved. But I discussed that the Bobath approach is more effective to improve the respiration of cerebral palsy, because we train at the same time to improve the postural tone, to increase the stability of neck and trunk, and to facilitate the development separated movement of respiration and vocalization.View full abstractDownload PDF (1176K) -
