JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA stuttering block is considered primarily as a defect of speech physiology. A rhythmic and motor control approach focusing on three speech systems was developed to treat the symptom.
A 29-year-old male stutterer completed the treatment program. Frequency of blocks and interjections decreased even after one and a half years post treatment. These results suggest that the approach enabled the subject to control his respiratory-phonatory-articulatory system to achieve fluent speech.View full abstractDownload PDF (1124K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe purpose of this study was to observe the learing process of speech behavior in 33 hearing impaired children aged 3 to 6 years. Hearing levels of the children were 63-130dB. The popular nursery rhyme ”Genkotsuyama no tanukisan” (The Badger of Kist Mountain”) was used to analyze the learning process of verbal behavior. Verbal behavior was assessed for the following seven different levels
1. Presentation of the nursery rhyme by face-to-face singing with gestural movements;
2. Presentation by face-to-face singing with no gestural movement;
3. Presentation by singing with a tape recorder. The song was recorded during 13 seconds.
4. Presentation was the same as the 3rd level, but recorded during 10 seconds;
5. Presentation by recorded song with a band. The song was recorded three times during 12, 10 and 8 seconds;
6. The child sang the song with gestural movements;View full abstractDownload PDF (805K) -
-Study of SLTA subtest scores-Mana Iwata, Ichiro Tsukuda1990 Volume 31 Issue 3 Pages 287-296
Published: July 25, 1990
Released on J-STAGE: June 22, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe SLTA records of 40 aphasic patients were reviewed in order to clarify the aphasia recovery process.
Four recovery patterns were classified based on SLTA subtests : high score patterns and steep ascending patterns (G1), slow ascending patterns (G2), stationary patterns (P1) and low score patterns (P2) . Among these patterns, G1 and P2 reflected the severity of aphasia, while G2 and Pl seemed to relate to the aphasia recovery process.
G1, G2 and P2 reflected characteristics of aphasia types: Motor aphasias showed good auditory recognition and poor speaking ability, while sensory aphasias were inferior to motor aphasias in auditory discrimination but superior in reading aloud or repeating words.View full abstractDownload PDF (1243K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSPatients who undergone a pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy normally experience difficulty in acquisition of esophageal speech. However, records show that some patients have successfully acquired intelligible esophageal speech.
A perceptual study of utterance samples obtained from five skilled esophageal speakers who had undergone such operations was undertaken to reveal voicing distinction of the samples.
Although the rate of confusion was considerably high, especially in identification of voiceless plosives, a surprising finding was that even patients who had undergone a pharyngolaryngoesophagectomy can accomplish voicing distinction.
Among articulatory adjustments in esophageal speech, voicing distinction is considered to represent the closing-opening control of the neoglottis. Therefore, it can safely be said that some mechanism which had made it possible to accomplish voicing distinction was working around the neoglottis of these subjects.
Three of the five patients used one or two fingers on the anterior neck during speech. Under fingertip pressure, the airflow through the neoglottis was assumed to be regulated so as to enable the patients to accomplish voicing distinction to some extent.View full abstractDownload PDF (615K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSSpeech and language development were evaluated in 15 children (4-8 years old) with congenital deafness due to middle and external ear malformation.
The following results were obtained : 1) Retarded development of language exceeding 8 months was observed in approximately fifty percent of these children. 2) An especially marked delay in the development of sentence comprehension was observed even in children with slight hearing loss of 30dB level. 3) A slight disturbance was found in the segmental aspect of speech.
It is concluded that language therapy emphasizing refinement of sentence comprehension and articulation proficiency as well as application of a hearing aid are needed for children with congenital conductive deafness.View full abstractDownload PDF (765K) -
-Clinical and Basic Study with Stroboscopy-Shinzo Tanaka, Minoru Hirano1990 Volume 31 Issue 3 Pages 309-315
Published: July 25, 1990
Released on J-STAGE: June 22, 2010
JOURNAL FREE ACCESSVocal fold vibrations of 1094 patients with various voice disorders were examined with laryngeal stroboscopy. Asymmetry and irregularity of vibration and the degree of glottic closure, vibratory amplitude and mucosal wave were evaluated. Statistical study revealed that the observation of symmetry and glottic closure was useful in diagnosing a small lesion of the vocal fold and a slight chink of the glottis. The evaluation of vibratory amplitude and mucosal wave was useful to diagnose the location and extent of neoplasm, scar and cyst of the vocal fold.
Disturbance of vocal fold vibration due to high stiffness lesion of the vocal fold was studied with excised canine larynx. The lesion of the mucosa disturbed the vibratory amplitude and wave formation, while the lesion in the vocalis muscle did not disturb the vibration. The vibration was less disturbed by the lesion of the middle portion of membranous fold than that of anterior portion.View full abstractDownload PDF (4981K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSIt is widely recognized that objective evaluation of vocal function is necessary in treating vocal disorders.
The purpose of this report is to learn the clinical significance of measurement of the vocal function during comfortable phonation to serve as a guideline in studying various laryngeal diseases.
Using a phonation analyzer (PS-77), air flow rates, intensities and fundamental voice frequencies during phonation were measured simultaneously for 402 patients and used as aerodynamic parameters. These results were then compared with the range of normal subjects. The following results were obtained.
(1) Air flow rate is subject to change depending on glottis resistance and expiratory force.
(2) While clinical application of this examination is useful to confirm the degree of insufficiency of the vocal closure by increased flow rate and the hypertensive mode of the vocal folds by decreased flow rate during stable phonation, values of these parameters do not enable direct diagnosis of laryngeal dysfunction.
(3) These tests may aid in evaluating how to change the phonatory function after treatment.View full abstractDownload PDF (923K) -
—Computed Analysis of Phonogram—Sotaro Komiyama1990 Volume 31 Issue 3 Pages 326-330
Published: July 25, 1990

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSA method which ensures credibility of the phonatory function test and accuracy of evaluation of phonatory function is now expected. We devised a phonation analyzer and reported as SK-80 which can record pitch, intensity and mean flow rate simultaneously and display these parameters on a CRT as two dimensional“voice profile”. However, it takes much time to record and display parameters with SK-80. To conquer this problem, authors developed a new program which analyzes data directly from SK-83 (new model of SK-80) . This program provides two dimensional “voice profile”automatically in a short time. Moreover, it can also calculate and display minimum mean flow rate and frequency distribution of mean flow.View full abstractDownload PDF (2059K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSThe current status and the future of the acoustic evaluation of voice is discussed in terms of its clinical applications in : 1) diagnosis of the etiologic disease, 2 ) determination of the degree and the extent of the etiologic disease, 3) evaluation of the degree and the nature of dysphonia, 4) determination of the prognosis and 5) monitoring changes. It is emphasized that the advantage of the acoustic evaluation now lies in the third and fifth applications above-mentioned. It is also claimed that constant efforts of improving acoustic evaluation methods will bring about a complete replacement of the perceptual evaluation in the near future.View full abstractDownload PDF (488K) -

JOURNAL FREE ACCESSNo one can evaluate the singing voice in the performance of opera and artistical singing without considering the relation between the singing itself and the nature of the performance, then the evaluated voice must be useful in singing performance.
The evaluation of singing is dif icult. There is no standard of evaluation.
Vocal examination at music colleges and in competitions of professional singers employ various methods for critical evaluation. In the public singing performances, the evaluation is even more various.
Singing performance is evaluated concerning two elements : the musicality and the voice. The musicality is evaluated subjectively and variously, but the voice is evaluated objectively with the following three elements : the pitch range, the vocal loudness, and the voice quality.
Renowned singers are superior in all three elements, but especially more superior in one of these elements.
I chose several melodies having each element, from the records of renowned male singers as follows, Franco Corelli (tenor) Jussi Björling (tenor) Kurt Moll (bass) Leonard Warren (bariton) Mario Del Monaco (tenor) Boris Christoff (bass) Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (bar-iton) .View full abstractDownload PDF (265K) -
