Background: Several studies indicate that people who stutter show greater variability in speech movements than people who do not stutter, even when the speech produced is perceptibly fluent. Speaking to the beat of a metronome reliably increases fluency in people who stutter, regardless of the severity of stuttering.
Objectives: Here, we aimed to test whether metronome-timed speech reduces articulatory variability.

For most of his illustrious career, Ken Stevens focused on examining and documenting the rich detail about vocal tract changes available to listeners underlying the acoustic signal of speech. Current approaches to speech inversion take advantage of this rich detail to recover information about articulatory movement. Our previous speech inversion work focused on movements of the tongue and lips, for which "ground truth" is readily available.

Purpose: The production of speech-like sequences composed of varying syllables has been reported to achieve higher syllable rates than the production of repeated syllables (commonly designed as sequential motion rate [SMR] and alternating motion rate [AMR] tasks, respectively). The faster rate for SMR relative to AMR sequences is explained by different interpretative hypotheses, which remain empirically unexplored. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the high syllable rates of SMR sequences are due to the specific sequences used in most studies that involve front-to-back articulatory movements.

The objective of this study was to determine the tongue-palatal contact changes in patients with skeletal maxillary protrusion after sagittal split ramus osteotomy (SSRO) during swallowing. In this study, 15 patients with maxillary protrusion and 10 normal subjects participated. Before and 3 months after surgery, tongue-palatal contact patterns during swallowing of patients with maxillary protrusion as well as controls were evaluated by electropalatography.
