Abstract

Objective : The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hand tapping on the accuracy and the fluency of speech production in children with speech sound disorder(SSD) and their typically developing peers(TD). Methods : The study subjects were 15 SSD children and 15 TD children aged 4, 5, and 6 years of age. Subjects were asked to give a picture name without hand tapping in the first experimental condition, and with hand tapping in the second experiment condition. Results : The results showed that hand tapping significantly increased disfluency in TD, whereas in SSD. it did not affect the accuracy or fluency of speech production. In addition, TD demonstrated a significant positive correlation with the changes of accuracy and disfluency due to hand tapping, whereas SSD had no correlation. Conclusion : We discussed the possibility that hand tapping could serve as an obstacle distracting attention from SSD and TD, acting as a motor gesture to facilitate phonological processing when facing the difficulty in lexical retrieval for SSD.

목적 : 본 연구에서는 말소리장애 아동과 일반 아동을 대상으로 어휘인출 시 단순 손동작(hand tapping)을 반복하게 하는 것이 조음정확도와 유창성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대해 알아보았다. 손동작을 반복하면서 어휘를 산출하는 것은 주의를 분산시키는 이중과제에 해당하기 때문에, 주의력 저하가 보고된 말소리장애 아동의 경우 일반 아동과 다른 행동 양상을 보이는지를 파악하고자 하였다. 연구방법 : 4, 5, 6세의 말소리장애 아동 15명과 일반 아동 15명이 본 연구에 참여하였다. 조음복잡성이 높은 어휘와 낮은 어휘를 각각 15개씩, 총 30개를 선정하여, 이에 대한 대면이름대기 과제를 실시하였다. 첫 번째 실험조건에서는 단순 손동작을 반복하지 않고, 두 번째 실험조건에서는 손바닥으로 책상을 두드리면서 그림 이름을 말하도록 하였다. 대상자의 반응에 대해 자음정확도, 비유창성 정도, 정확성 변화와 유창성 변화의 상관관계를 측정하여, 두 실험조건에 따른 두 집단 간 수행력을 비교하였다. 결과 : 첫째, 말소리장애 집단과 일반 집단 모두 손동작 반복 과제와 손동작 비반복 과제 간 자음정확도에는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 일반 집단은 손동작 반복 과제에서 비유창성이 유의하게 증가하였으나, 말소리장애 집단은 차이가 없었다. 셋째 손동작 반복에 따른 자음정확도 변화와 비유창성 변화는 일반집단의 경우 유의한 양의 상관관계가 있었으나 말소리장애 집단은 아무런 상관을 보이지 않았다. 결론 : 본 연구에서 주의력 분산을 위해 사용한 단순 손동작 반복은 결과적으로 집단에 따라 대상자의 목표행동에 방해가 될 수도, 혹은 그 반대로 도움이 될 수도 있었다. 어휘인출에 대한 손동작 반복의 영향이 두 집단 간 다른 양상으로 나타난 만큼 이에 대한 심층적 논의가 필요할 것이다.
