Speech fluency in discourse

downin humans1

1 study
  1. 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.”

Spoken language production

mixedin humans1

1 study
  1. 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.”
