  2. 1. Fine motor timing ability - A study of syllable repetition and finger tapping in adults with developmental stuttering or Parkinson's disease compared with healthy adults

    Author : Maria Sundqvist; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; motor timing; synchronization; finger tapping; syllable repetition; Developmental stuttering; Parkinson s disease;

    Abstract : Aim and methods: The overall aim of this thesis was to explore the fine motor timing ability as manifested by speech motor and fine hand motor activity in persons with developmental stuttering or Parkinson’s disease, and in healthy adults. A test method for systematic comparison between speech motor timing and fine hand motor control was developed. READ MORE

  5. 3. Cerebellar function during development. Eyeblink conditioning, prism adaptation and interval production in children and adults

    Author : Karolina Löwgren; foniatri och audiologi Logopedi; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Cerebellum; Eyeblink conditioning; Prism adaptation; Finger tapping; Development; Children; Adults; Cerebellar function; Neurodevelopmental disorders; Cognitive disorders;

    Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on cerebellar-dependent sensorimotor tasks during development. The performance in classical delay eyeblink conditioning, prism adaptation, and isochronous serial interval production (finger tapping) was explored in typically developing school-aged children, young adolescents, and adults.

  6. 4. An Investigation into the Perception and Production of Slow Rhythms

    Author : Rasmus Bååth; Kognitionsvetenskap; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; slower limit of rhythm perception; rhythm perception; time perception; finger tapping;

    Abstract : Appreciation and production of musical rhythm is a human universal and, as with other human capacities, it is imperative to understand the extent of our capacity to perceive and produce rhythm. This thesis presents my work on the cognitive and perceptual aspects of rhythm perception and production at a slow tempi. READ MORE
