The Use of Visual Feedback to Elicit Correct /r/
LINDA I. SHUSTER, Dennis M. Ruscello, Amy R. Toth · American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology · 1995
Biofeedback in the form of the visual display from the monitor of a real-time spectrograph was presented to a 10-year-old boy and a 14-year-old girl who had been unable to attain correct production of /r/ despite years of treatment. Both perceptual ratings and acoustic measures were made of the clients' productions of /r/ before and after treatment with the spectrograph. The results indicated that children and adolescents can use this type feedback to attain correct production of /r/ when other methods have failed. Potential reasons for the success of this approach are discussed.
