Overview

Experimental examination of how sensory processing and attention influence speech motor control in children, suggesting nuanced interactions.

Key Points

  • This research aims to explore how individual differences in attention and sensory processing relate to children's speech motor control through auditory feedback.
  • Children completed a frequency altered feedback (FAF) task to assess reliance on auditory feedback.
  • The Sustained Attention to Response Task (SART) was used to measure attention abilities.
  • Parents filled out the Short Sensory Profile (SSP) to evaluate sensory processing abilities.
  • Higher sensory processing scores correlated with greater compensatory vocal responses to FAF.
  • Poorer attention performance (SART) linked to slower vocal responses to downward pitch shifts.
  • Findings suggest sensory processing differences may enhance reliance on auditory feedback.
