Item An EPG therapy protocol for remediation and assessment of articulation disorders.(ICSLP, 2002) Wrench, Alan A.; Gibbon, Fiona; McNeill, Alison M.; Wood, Sara; Hansen, John H.L.; Pellom, BryanThis paper describes technical and methodological advances in the development of a procedure for measuring changes in accuracy and stability of linguapalatal (tongue-palate) contact patterns during a course of visual feedback therapy using electropalatography (EPG). The procedure is exemplified by a case in which therapy was aimed at resolving a pattern of velar fronting whereby phonetic targets /k, g,Item An electropalatographic analysis of stutterers' speech(1995-04) Wood, SaraItem Instrumentation in the assessment and therapy of motor speech disorders: A survey of techniques and case studies with EPG(Whurr, 2000) Wood, Sara; Hardcastle, William J.; Papathansiou, I.Item EPG/EMA studies on speech motor coordination.(2001-06) Hardcastle, William J.; Ellis, Lucy; Wood, Sara; Gibbon, FionaItem Undifferentiated gestures and articulatory drift in the speech of children with articulation/phonological disorders.(2001-06) Gibbon, Fiona; Wood, SaraThis study used electropalatography to identify articulatory drift in alveolar stops (/t/ and /d/) produced by 10 children with functional articulation and phonological disorders. Drift involves an abnormal change in place of articulation that occurs during stop closure. An index was used to measure drift, with higher values indicating greater drift. The results showed that drift was higher for children who produced undifferentiated gestures (articulations with increased tongue-palate contact). Drift is an important characteristic of articulation because it is believed to reflect impaired speech motor control. In addition, drift could explain some perceptually based speech errors that are frequently reported in functional disorders.
