Speech fluency in discourse
downin humans1
Dual-task conditions impair speech fluency in discourse in humans.
“However, speech fluency in discourse appears to be more vulnerable under conditions of distraction in older than younger adults.”

Dual-task conditions are associated with spoken language production in humans.
“The findings were mixed as to whether dual-task costs (i.e., worse performance in single-task, talking only) are evident in aging.”
