Chih, Yu-Chun; Stierwalt, Julie A. G.; LaPointe, Leonard L.; Chih, Yu-Pin
Communication Disorders Quarterly, v39 n1 p288-292 Nov 2017
Physiological activities (heart rate and respiratory rate) during a word retrieval task were measured in normal participants. Word frequency demonstrated a significant effect on naming accuracy and latencies but not on physiological activities. These data will serve as a basis for comparison for individuals with a compromised language system.
