| Abstract | In an earlier article the present authors (see PA, Vol 68:12120) suggested that the timing of consonant-related muscle activity was constrained relative to the period between onsets of muscle activity for successive vowels. In the present paper, those data are reexamined based on reservations posed by W. J. Barry (see PA, Vol 71:14551). A kinematic study of articulation was conducted that extends and strongly supports the present authors' original observations. Some converging lines of evidence for a functionally significant vowel-to-vowel period in speech and how this may relate to the role of temporal invariance in motor skills in general are discussed. |
