Maximum Repetition Rates In Children At-Risk For Dyslexia, Amy L. Baxter
Maximum Repetition Rates In Children At-Risk For Dyslexia, Amy L. Baxter
Undergraduate Honors Capstone Projects
My senior thesis has focused on current research exploring precursor communication skills being conducted by Dr. Ben Massen at the Radboud University Medical Center in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. To that end, I worked in an acoustics lab analyzing Maximum Repetition Rates (MRR), also known as diadochokinetic rates, DDKs, in young children's speech development. This four year funded research project began in 2004.
In this paper I will provide an overview of the underlying theoretical considerations guiding the study and then describe my particular contribution to the effort, completed during Fall semester 2005 while I was a foreign exchange student.
