Purpose There has been renewed interest on the part of speech-language pathologists to
understand how the motor system learns and determine whether principles of motor …

This paper reviews current trends in treatment for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS), with a
particular emphasis on motor-based intervention protocols. The paper first briefly discusses …

Purpose To compare the relative effects of random vs. blocked practice schedules in
treatment for childhood apraxia of speech (CAS). Although there have been repeated …

Motor sequence learning under high levels of contextual interference (CI) disrupts initial
performance but supports delayed test and transfer performance when compared to learning …

Purpose Two studies examined speech skill learning in persons with apraxia of speech
(AOS). Motor-learning research shows that delaying or reducing the frequency of feedback …

Purpose: Treatment intensity (sometimes referred to as “practice amount”) has been well-
investigated in learning non-speech tasks, but its role in treating speech disorders has not …

Background: It is well documented in limb motor research that providing the optimal practice
and feedback conditions can have positive outcomes for the learning of new movements …
