| summary | Speech production studies often employ relatively simple tasks that do not reflect the attentional demands of everyday communication. Quantifying the extent to which competing demands influence speech production may be particularly important for populations with neuromotor speech impairments. For example, data from several studies suggest that the attentional demands associated with performing two concurrent tasks impact the speech of individuals with Parkinson disease (PD) to a greater extent than neurologically healthy controls. Our lab has researched the extent to which divided attentional demands impact speech production in talkers with and without PD. Data from prior studies and pilot cases will be presented to illustrate the utility of the dual-task paradigm and demonstrate how performing two concurrent tasks may impact speech production. Implications and considerations for the assessment and treatment of parkinsonian speech will also be discussed. |
