In order to study the effects of different rates of rhythmic auditory stimulation on the phonemic accuracy of speakers who have apraxia of speech, eight apraxic subjects read four equated monosyllabic passages under one control and three experimental conditions. In the experimental conditions, rhythmic auditory stimulation provided by a metronome was imposed at each subject's oral reading rate as well as 75% and 125% of this established rate. In the control condition, the subjects read without any accompanying rhythmic stimulation. It was found that the stimulus supplied by an auditory metronome did not significantly improve the phonemic accuracy of these subjects. Articulatory accuracy tended to deteriorate under imposed rhythmic stimulation.
为了研究不同速率的节律性听觉刺激对患有言语失用症的说话者音素准确性的影响，八名失用症受试者在一种对照条件和三种实验条件下朗读了四段等效的单音节段落。在实验条件下，节拍器提供的节律性听觉刺激以每个受试者的口头阅读速率以及该既定速率的75%和125%施加。在对照条件下，受试者在没有任何伴随节律性刺激的情况下阅读。研究发现，听觉节拍器提供的刺激并没有显著提高这些受试者的音素准确性。在施加节律性刺激的情况下，发音准确性往往会下降。
