Article Synopsis
- The study examines how oral diadochokinetic (oral-DDK) rates differ based on language, age, and sex among Malaysian-Malay speakers.
- Findings reveal that the type of stimulus significantly influences oral-DDK rates, with Malay real words resulting in the slowest rates, while rates for non-words and English real words are comparable.
- The research establishes that language-specific norms are essential for assessing oral-DDK performance in multilingual populations, as Malaysian-Malay speakers had higher rates compared to Hebrew and Mandarin speakers.
