| Popis: |
The purpose of this study was to examine the age-related differences in speaking fundamental frequencies (SF0) of women, in order to determine the effects of normal aging on SF0 of the speakers' voices. The study compared the SF0 characteristics of a group of 8 women with the SF0 characteristics of the same speakers 25 years later. The results not only confirmed the reported trend outlined by the majority of available reports regarding SF0 changes in women but also demonstrated a significant decrease in SF0 of women speakers as they age. The findings of the study have provided preliminary normative data for female elderly speakers' SF0 changes that are largely absent from the current literature. |
