Script treatment—delivered with recursive self-feedback (RSF) or external feedback (EF)—has been shown to improve fluency in PWNA. Evidence from anomia treatment suggests that structured practice schedule (continuous vs. discontinuous) may further influence outcomes. However, it remains unknown how feedback type and PWNA’s self-selected practice schedules—reflecting the variability of real-life routines—interact to influence language outcomes. This study introduces a novel self-selected practice schedule approach and examines its interaction with feedback type on speech fluency in PWNA.</div></div><div><h3>Method</h3><div>Using a cross-over design, four PWNA engaged in script production with RSF or EF over two intensive treatment blocks. They practiced for two hours daily across two to three weeks per block. The outcome metrics were speaking rate and speech initiation latency. Flexible practice schedules were allowed, where participants selected between continuous (intensive) or discontinuous (spaced) practice across sessions during each treatment block. Approximately 25,000 speech samples, collected across both treatments’ sessions, were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models.</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>RSF showed a slower gradual increase in speaking rate over time but greater improvement in speech initiation latency than EF over the course of treatment.

We hypothesize that these children’s language difficulties may amplify any negative relationships between parental language mixing and the language outcomes of children with DLD. Using a combination of questionnaires, day-long audio recordings, and Bayesian hypothesis testing, we examined parental language mixing and its relationship with Dutch vocabulary and grammar outcomes in thirty 3- to 6-year-old multilingual children with (a suspicion of) DLD in the Netherlands. Analyses were controlled for overall exposure to Dutch, children’s age and parents’ education level. Contrary to our hypothesis, we found a positive, albeit modest, association between parental language mixing and children’s Dutch language outcomes. This suggests that language mixing in the input may not hinder majority language development in children with DLD.

Five Palestinian Arabic-speaking participants with Broca’s aphasia and five control speakers completed a repetition task involving initial fricative-vowel syllables. Using PRAAT software, the analysis incorporates both static and dynamic acoustic parameters, including formant values (F2 and F3), transition slopes and variability, Voice Onset Time (VOT), and intensity measures. Statistical analysis identified significant differences between the speaker groups, with individuals with Broca's aphasia exhibiting elevated and more variable formant values, prolonged and variable VOT patterns, and reduced intensity levels. Density mapping demonstrated broader distributions and increased variability in F2 and F3 frequencies, indicating disruptions in coarticulatory timing. Decreased spectral centroids and rapid intensity decay rates further highlighted reduced consistency in acoustic patterns. Contrary to findings from studies in other languages, our results indicate a delay in coarticulation rather than a complete loss, accompanied by increased variability in segmental transitions. The findings also underscore how Arabic’s unique phonological structures shape coarticulatory dynamics and advance our understanding of phonetic variability in linguistically underrepresented populations.
