“Motor speech production (but not phonological production) improves following
motor training”
Adam Buchwald, Ph.D.
NYU Steinhardt
 
The distinction between phonological processing and motor planning has been a
persistent topic of both theoretical and clinical research. In the clinical
domain, a lot of careful work has gone into determining how to differentiate
aphasia (which can affect phonology) from apraxia of speech (AOS, which
affects motor planning and/or programming). Despite the success of this work,
it is rare that AOS occurs in isolation as it frequently co-occurs with
aphasia. Thus, individuals commonly present with both phonological and motor
impairment, and the motor-based treatment literature that examines this
population frequently reports that some (but not all) participants respond to
treatment, a finding that often is related to variability in the population. 
 
In this talk, I will first present a line of research that attempts to
determine whether there is structure in the variability that can help predict
responsiveness to intervention targeting motor learning and recovery. Leaning
on the distinction from psycholinguistic accounts between phonological and
motor components of production, I will introduce a prediction about the
relationship between the acoustics of consonant deletion errors in clusters
(e.g., snail -> _nail) and responsiveness to motor-based training in
individuals with these complex deficits. After demonstrating some success with
this approach, I discuss the next steps to move towards enhancing training
effects with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). In this portion
of the talk, I report on a recent study in which speech motor learning in
unimpaired speakers was enhanced with tDCS. I will then discuss the
theoretical implications of these two lines of research, and how they form the
basis of ongoing and future translational work using tDCS with individuals
with acquired speech impairment.

C-Star Lecture Series:

The Center for the Study of Aphasia Recovery (C-STAR;
http://cstar.sc.edu/lecture-series/) houses researchers who examine the
effects of behavioral treatment, brain stimulation, and residual brain
function (brain plasticity) on recovery from aphasia. C-STAR is a
collaboration between researchers from the University of South Carolina, the
Medical University of South Carolina, Johns Hopkins University, and the
University of California, Irvine. The Center is funded through the National
Institute of Deafness and Communication Disorders (NIDCD) grant #NIH P50
DC014664. Biweekly public lectures, given by members and guests of C-STAR, are
accessible live and online. Recordings of the lectures can be viewed via
C-STAR YouTube channel:
