How can I measure (or calculate) the below fluency?
Could anyone explain to me with an example of two people?
When I read the paper, it does not explain how I can calculate it exactly?
Thanks a lot
(1) Speed fluency
A. Articulation rate:
mean number of syllables per minute divided by mean amount of phonation time (excluding pauses)
B. Speech rate : mean number of syllables per minute divided by total time (including pauses)
(2) Breakdown Fluency
A. Mean length of pauses per 60 seconds
B. Mean number of pauses per 60 seconds (clause-internal versus clause-external)
(3) Repair fluency
A. Repair measures : mean number of partial or compete repetitions, hesitations, false starts and reformulations
B. Mean number of filled pauses (e.g., em and er)
(4) Dialogue only measure
A. Number of turns
Dear Mee-Jee Kim,
You can find answers to your questions about speech and articulation rates in our study: https://dergipark.org.tr/en/download/article-file/1200953 When measuring these parameters, it is very important which time you will refer to as the pause time (e.g., pauses short than 250 Ms for articulation rate).
Good luck.
