Study Summary
Speaking in unison with another person is included as a part of many treatment approaches for aphasia. It is not well understood why and how this technique works. One goal of this study is to determine who benefits from speaking in unison, and what characteristics of speech are most helpful. Another goal is to investigate a possible mechanism for this benefit: why does speaking in unison help? A possible mechanism for this benefit is examined, by testing whether the degree of alignment of a person's speech with that of another speaker can account for unison benefit.
Primary Outcome
The percentage of syllables correctly repeated from the target sentences will be computed for each contrast, Unison vs. Solo and Metrical vs. Conversational, capturing all 4 conditions in the 2x2 design (Unison Metrical, Unison Conversational, Solo Metrical, Solo Conversational). A protocol will be used to score syllables for correctness.
Interventions
- BEHAVIORAL Unison speech (vs. solo)
- BEHAVIORAL Metrical timing (vs. conversational)
