Speech Breathing in Children and Adolescents.
Hoit, Jeannette D.; And Others
Journal of Speech and Hearing Research, v33 n1 p51-69 Mar 1990
A study of 80 children, aged 7, 10, 13, and 16, found that gender was not an important variable in speech breathing, but age was. The youngest group exhibited such things as larger lung, rib cage, and abdominal volume initiations and terminations for breath groups and fewer syllables per breath group. (Author/JDD)
