| Abstract | Examines the scope of sensory control in the voluntary motor patterns involved in speech by reviewing studies in which the auditory, tactile, and proprioceptive feedback channels have been distorted or interrupted. Open loop control of well-learned speech patterns under normal circumstances is advocated. The concept of internal feedback is introduced as a possible control system of skilled speech, whereas response feedback and external feedback are viewed as necessary for children developing speech or adults learning new speech patterns. |
