Speaking is one of the most complex skills that humans perform. In
our everyday communication, we transfer sentences, concepts,
thoughts, and ideas. How though, is the speaker able to convert
these into movements of the speech apparatus? These speech
movements are the observable end-product, but what neurological,
psycholinguistic, and perceptual-motor processes lie behind their
production? To fully understand speech disorders, such as
stuttering, apraxia of speech, and Parkinsonian dysarthria, the
disruptions in this complex interplay are highly relevant. Equally
important is the question of how the infant develops from random
babbling to precisely controlled production of words, syllables,
and phonemes. This volume presents state of the art research in the
science of speech motor control and speech disorders. All the
chapters take a fundamental, model-oriented perspective, as
introduced in the first section of the volume. Further topics
covered in this book are: brain imaging studies and the rapid
progression in comprehending neural mechanisms; developmental
studies revealing perceptual-motor continuities and
discontinuities; psycholinguistic experimentation showing
higher-order influences on speech motor control; and recent notions
and applications to the understanding of speech disorders.
