The objectives of this study are to determine i) the effect of rhythmic entrainment of speech
with hand gestures and auditory rhythmic cues on intelligibility and speech naturalness in
Spanish-accented speakers of English in two pathology groups: ataxic dysarthria and
hypokinetic dysarthria secondary to idiopathic Parkinson's disease; and ii) the extent to
which speech rate and effort are control parameters of entrainment. These objectives will be
achieved with the following specific aims:
Specific Aim 1: Determine the effect of three rates of hand gestures and auditory rhythmic
cues and the degree to which learning and carry-over occur.
Specific Aim 2: Determine the effect of increased speech effort, operationalized as clear
speech, and the interaction effect of clear speech with hand gestures and auditory rhythmic
cues.
Specific Aim 3: Investigate the perception of speech rhythm and its relationship to
entrainment.

Primary | Intelligibility | Intelligibility = the accuracy with which a listener understands a speaker. It will be measured by having the subjects undergoing the therapy ("the talkers") read 28 phrases using accompanying gesture or auditory cues and listeners will transcribe the sentences. The number of words accurately transcribed / the number of words in the phrase = intelligibility score for each phrase per listener | immediately upon completion of the therapy | |
Secondary | Ease of understanding | Ease of understanding = the ease with which listeners understand the speakers. It will be measured by having the subjects undergoing the therapy ("the talkers") read 28 phrases using accompanying gesture or auditory cues and listeners will rate how easy it is to understand the talkers using a 0 to 9 visual analog scale with 0 = very easy and 9= very hard, for each phrase per listener | Immediately upon completion of the therapy | |
Secondary | Speech naturalness | Speech naturalness = the degree to which the listeners consider the speakers to have natural or unnatural speech. It will be measured by having the subjects undergoing the therapy ("the talkers") read 28 phrases using accompanying gesture or auditory cues and listeners will rate how natural-sounding the talker sounds by using a 0 to 9 visual analog scale with 0 = very natural and 9 = very unnatural, for each phrase per listener | immediately upon completion of the therapy |
