| Abstract | [Introduction] The current study concerns the skill with which palate elevation can be accomplished. Study of palate elevation skill in turn bears indirectly on awareness of palate movement. A subject’s success in acquiring the ability to elevate his palate to discrete heights on command would suggest better awareness than would failure in acquiring such a skill. the procedures used in this study are similar to training techniques recommended for improving palate function in speech. Thus the results reported below pertinent to understanding the effectiveness of those techniques. This study involve’s subjects’ ability to elevate the palate to different heights on command without visual or auditory feedback. Both judge’s ratings and electromyographic measurement of palate action potentials were used. |
